Jesus Heals the Paralytic

Two men went up to the temple to pray. One a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed to himself like this, "God, you have my thanks, that I'm not like other men, criminals, swindlers, adulterer, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and I give a tenth of everything I earn." But standing off a bit, the tax collector would not even turn his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast and said, "Have mercy on me, God, a sinner." This man, I say, went down to his house justified rather than the religious man. For he who exalts himself will be humbled. He who humbles himself will be exalted. Your sins are forgiven. Who is this man speaking these blasphemies? And who can forgive sins other than God alone? What are you thinking about in your hearts? What's easier? For me to say your sins are forgiven, or to say rise and walk, but so that you may know that the Son of Man does have the authority to forgive sins of this earth. I tell you, rise, pick up your bed, and return to your home. [MUSIC] I thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God! Thank you, Jesus! Look at me, everybody! Surely God has healed me! Look at me! Look at me, and praise God! I can walk! I can walk! My health is good! Can you believe it? I'm healed! Thank you, God!
