Luke 5:17-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

¹⁷ One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting near by (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.^{[a] 18} Just then some men came, carrying a paralyzed man on a bed. They were trying to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;^{[b] 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 middle of the crowd^[c] in front of Jesus. ²⁰ When he saw their faith, he said, “Friend,^[d] your sins are forgiven you.”
