¹⁷ So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

⁸ But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.

⁶ But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

⁸ But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
