Mattityahu 9:2-7

Mattityahu 9:2-7 TOJB2011

And hinei! They brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a paralytic lying upon a mat. Having seen their emunah, he said to the paralytic, Chazak! (Be strong!) Selicha (forgiveness) is granted on your averos (sins)! And hinei! Some of the Sofrim said to themselves, This one commits Chillul HASHEM! And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, reading their minds, said, Why are you thinking ra'ah (evil) in your levavot (hearts)? For which is easier to say, Selicha is granted on your averos! Or…Arise and walk!? But in order that you may have da'as that the Bar Enosh has samchut (authority) on earth to pronounce selicha (forgiveness) on chattaim (sins) — Moshiach then declared to the paralytic, Arise, take up your mat and go to your bais (house). And arising, he went away to his bais.
