Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic

1 So He got into a boat, crossed over, aand came to His own city.  
2 aThen behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. bWhen Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”  
3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”
4 But Jesus, aknowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?  
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
7 And he arose and departed to his house.
8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they amarveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.  

Matthew the Tax Collector

9 aAs Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.  
10 aNow it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.  
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with atax collectors and bsinners?”
