10. But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,
11. To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.
12. And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before them all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.
13. And he went out again by the sea, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14. And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
