Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Matthew 8
³² And He said to them, "Go." So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.
³³ Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
³⁴ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.
Matthew 9
¹ So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.
² Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When 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, knowing 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 marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
