Matthew 9:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus helps a man who cannot walk

9 Then Jesus got back into the boat. He sailed across to the other side of the lake again. He went to Capernaum, the town where he was living.

² Some men came to see Jesus there. They carried with them a man who could not walk or move his legs. He was lying on a mat. Jesus knew that they believed in him. He said to the man who could not walk, ‘Do not be afraid, my friend. I forgive you for the wrong things that you have done.’

³ Then some teachers of God's Law said to themselves: ‘This man is speaking as if he is God. That is not right.’
