12. Now it came to pass that as He was in one of the cities, a man full of leprosy saw Jesus and immediately fell on his face, beseeching Him and saying, “Lord, if You will, You have the power to cleanse me.”

13. And after stretching out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I will. Be cleansed!” And the leprosy instantly left him.

14. Then He charged him to tell no one, and said, “Go and show yourself to the priest, and bring an offering for your cleansing as Moses commanded, for a witness to them.”

15. But reports of His miracles were spread abroad even more; and great multitudes came to hear Him and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.

16. Then He withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

17. Now it came to pass that on one of the days when He was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come out of every village from Galilee and from Judea, including the villages around Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was there for healing the sick.

18. And behold, men came, carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; and they sought to bring him in and place him before Him.

19. But when they could not find a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up on the rooftop and lowered him with the stretcher through the tiles into the midst, directly in front of Jesus.

20. And seeing their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”

21. Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this Who speaks blasphemies? Who has the power to forgive sins, except God alone?”

22. But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, “Why do you reason in your hearts?

23. Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you’? Or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?

24. But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on the earth to forgive sins,” He said to the one who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise and take up your stretcher, and go to your house.”

25. And he immediately stood up in front of them; and after taking up the stretcher on which he had been lying, he went to his house, glorifying God.

26. And amazement seized everyone, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.” (A Faithful Version)

12. 過了些日子，耶穌在加利利一處地方，有一長大痳瘋一見耶穌，就俯伏在面前說：主啊，你願意的話，你的能力能潔淨我。

13. 耶穌伸出手摸他說：我願意，潔淨吧。這患大痳瘋的立馬痊癒。

14. 耶穌卻囑咐不要傳開，對他說：照摩西所定的潔淨禮要求去預備，並將身體給祭司看，以此為證。

15. 耶穌行神蹟的事，卻越發被傳開。吸引有許多人來聽道，也冀望病得醫治。

16. 耶穌為此退到曠野，禱告。

17. 又在某天，耶穌在講道的時候，法利賽人和熟識律法人士也在當中，這些人是從加利利地區，以及猶大地各處，並耶路撒冷四周的城鄉而來。都見證這種醫治的大能，實在使病的得醫治。

18. 這時有人進來，拉著擔架，上面有癱瘓的人，坐著有許多人，起來幫手想將他移到耶穌面前。

19. 只因聚會的人多，無法移進去，就想從房頂，把癱子和擔架，穿過瓦片，垂到耶穌面前。

20. 耶穌見眾人顯出這份信心，就對癱子說：你所犯的一切都得赦了！

21. 這些熟識法律的和法利賽人為此起哄說：說這僭妄話的是誰？除了神以外，誰有權赦罪？

22. 耶穌看出他們的動機，便說：為何心中產生這樣的疑惑？

23. 什麼那個方式對這人來得容易？對他說你犯的過錯得赦？還是說起來自己走？

24. 這樣的處理，是要讓你們知道，人子在地上有赦[罪]的權柄。於是，耶穌吩咐癱子：起來，拿你的擔架回家吧！

25. 這人立刻站起，拿著睡過的擔架回家，進了屋，就高呼讚美神。

26. 這事，眾人都感驚訝，同樣地讚美神，而且滿懷敬畏的心，說：今日的事實在奇異！

路加在這段描述兩事件出現的緣由和其後果如何，這記述不去解釋是真叙，就要讓看的人去思考。

第一件是行神蹟。路加記載耶穌行神蹟，都記載耶穌有吩咐在後，叫人不要宣揚。後果是無人會聽耶穌的吩咐。

今日，都2千多年，人相信耶穌，有沒有冀望神蹟的出現？有，而且很普遍。傳的會傳神蹟聽得就會冀盼著神蹟？耶穌當然會行神蹟，那是一種證明的方式，不會用來作為吸引。這處當許多人跟隨耶穌，是為了神蹟在個人身上出現，都是與病痛有關。耶穌的神蹟是心靈的轉變，例如軟弱的變為堅強。因此，耶穌為了不再讓人誤會，就退到曠野。

第二件是神蹟？似乎不是。這個癱子，這症狀如何出現，並沒有明指，於是就有許多以病為解釋，是肢體的殘缺那種。只是，按路加的對話當中，這癱子不是因為肢體殘缺，而是心靈軟弱，這也是信仰的關切的要點。

這可以從對話中了解是指心靈這事。

21-24節：這些熟識法律的和法利賽人為此起哄說：說這僭妄話的是誰？除了神以外，誰有權赦罪？耶穌看出他們的動機，便說：為何心中產生這樣的疑惑？什麼那個方式對這人來得容易？對他說你犯的過錯得赦？還是說起來自己走？這樣的處理，是要讓你們知道，人子在地上有赦[罪]的權柄。於是，耶穌吩咐癱子：起來，拿你的擔架回家吧！

這是位心理受損的人，最有可能就是失去了對自己的信心。緣因是這人因為信心不足，就常會犯錯。而人常稱犯錯等同犯罪，犯錯可以改，犯罪就要受罰，這是二個不同的心態。神看到人犯事，是用錯還是罪視之？亥隱殺了亞伯在人看來是犯罪，神視之為錯。

更為重要是罪與錯之間，是如何釐定？罪是律法用詞，當時對癱子的判斷，有二類別人士，一是熟識律法的，另一是法利賽人，就是迫害耶穌那幫人。犯罪這詞用於人，就會產生罪咎。叫他起來，就是鼓勵重新振作，那個方式讓人更加容易接受並且甘願作出改正？

耶穌是以愛出發。因為有愛，就能透視人的內心想法，耶穌看到這二種人的出發點，以人為的律法去判定人的行為準則，是否符合他們定下的規則，因此用[罪]這個詞，去建立權威的地位。耶穌有愛，就有了不同的判準原則，人，誰無過？那二種人也有過，卻會互相包庇，不是他們不會犯罪，卻因為利用權力作出相互包庇，就忽視事實，算自己為無犯罪。請樣處理對有良知的人而言是為厚顏無恥。他們覺，只是你無權作出指責。

耶穌有愛，看到人的軟弱，心靈軟弱使人成了癱，那是事實。耶穌因為有愛，看透了這人的癱，只要有足夠的愛就可以痊癒。耶穌看到許多人對癱子產生出求醫的熱烈，人本來就有愛，用盡方法為這人解困，就看這份人性的美，以他的大能，將癱瘓的心靈復甦，叫他掉低擔架，自己行走。

愛之所以奇妙，為此而矣！提阿非羅看了有何感受？
