Luke 5:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

²⁰ Jesus saw what trust they had.

“My friend,” he said, “your sins are forgiven.”

²¹ The legal experts and Pharisees began to argue. “Who does he think he is?” they said. “He’s blaspheming! Nobody can forgive sins—only God can do that!”

²² Jesus knew their line of thought.

“Why are you complaining in your hearts?” he replied.
