42:005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
42:005:024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
42:005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
42:005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
42:005:027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
42:005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
42:005:029 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
42:005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
42:005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
42:005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
