Luke 5:21 Context
19And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went vpon the house top, & let him downe through the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Iesus. 20And when he saw their faith, hee said vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 21And the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgiue sinnes, but God alone? 22But when Iesus perceiued their thoughts, he answering, saide vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 23Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes be forgiuen thee: or to say, Rise vp and walke?
