Luke 5:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ But because of the crowd, they could not get him to Jesus. So they went up on the roof,^[a] where they removed some tiles and let the mat down in the middle of the room.

²⁰ When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven.”

²¹ The Pharisees and the experts began arguing, “Jesus must think he is God! Only God can forgive sins.”
