Matthew 9:7
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
And the man got up and went home.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
