17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts?23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
Mark 2
1 E dopo alcuni giorni, egli entrò di nuovo in Capernaum, e si seppe che era in casa;2 e si raunò tanta gente che neppure lo spazio dinanzi alla porta la potea contenere. Ed egli annunziava loro la Parola.3 E vennero a lui alcuni che menavano un paralitico portato da quattro.4 E non potendolo far giungere fino a lui a motivo della calca, scoprirono il tetto dalla parte dov’era Gesù; e fattavi un’apertura, calarono il lettuccio sul quale il paralitico giaceva.5 E Gesù, veduta la loro fede, disse al paralitico: Figliuolo, i tuoi peccati ti sono rimessi.6 Or alcuni degli scribi eran quivi seduti e così ragionavano in cuor loro:7 Perché parla costui in questa maniera? Egli bestemmia! Chi può rimettere i peccati, se non un solo, cioè Dio?8 E Gesù, avendo subito conosciuto nel suo spirito che ragionavano così dentro di sé, disse loro: Perché fate voi cotesti ragionamenti ne’ vostri cuori?9 Che è più agevole, dire al paralitico: I tuoi peccati ti sono rimessi, oppur dirgli: Lèvati, togli il tuo lettuccio e cammina?10 Ora, affinché sappiate che il Figliuol dell’uomo ha potestà in terra di rimettere i peccati:11 Io tel dico (disse al paralitico), lèvati, togli il tuo lettuccio, e vattene a casa tua.12 E colui s’alzò, e subito, preso il suo lettuccio, se ne andò via in presenza di tutti; talché tutti stupivano e glorificavano Iddio dicendo: Una cosa così non la vedemmo mai.
Matthew 9
1 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.2 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.”3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.”7 And he rose and went home.8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
