Luke [White-light] 5:17-34

¹⁷On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees Separated and Torah-Teachers sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee District, Circuit, Judea Praise, and Jerusalem City of peace. The power of MarYah Master Yahweh was with him to heal them.

¹⁸Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Yeshua Salvation.

¹⁹Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Yeshua Salvation.

²⁰Seeing their trusting faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

²¹The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees Separated began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

²²But Yeshua Salvation, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

²³Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’

²⁴But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (he said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house.”

²⁵Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

²⁶Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

²⁷After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi United with sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

²⁸He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

²⁹Levi United with made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

³⁰Their Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees Separated murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

³¹Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

³²I have not come to call the upright, but sinners to teshuvah ·complete repentance·.”

³³They said to him, “Why do John Yah is gracious’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees Separated, but yours eat and drink?”

³⁴He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
