The Gospel of Matthew - Jesus Heals a Paralytic | Matthew Chapter 9 : 2 - 8

In the Gospel of Matthew, some people bring a paralyzed man to Jesus on a mat, seeking his healing. Jesus sees their faith and tells the man that his sins are forgiven. Some of the scribes accuse Jesus of blasphemy, reasoning that only God can forgive sins. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, challenges them by asking whether it is easier to say the man's sins are forgiven or to tell him to rise and walk. He then tells the paralyzed man to get up, take his mat, and go home. Immediately, the man rises, takes his mat, and walks. The crowd is amazed and glorifies God for giving such authority to Jesus. This passage highlights Jesus' authority to forgive sins and perform miracles, demonstrating his divine power and mission as the Son of God.
