In Luke the healing of sick by Jesus begins in Chapter 5. In verse 5 a man with leprosy approaches him and says, "if you are willing you can make me clean." Jesus reaches out and touches the man, saying I am willing, be clean. Immediately leprosy left the man. Jesus tells him to tell no one but to go to the priests and make sacrifice to Moses. News spread however.

Then in verse 17 friends of a paralyzed man brought him on a mat to be healed. Jesus was preaching to the Pharisees and teachers and the crowds were large. The men had to drop the man on the mat through the roof to reach Jesus. Jesus saw their effort, said friend your sins are forgiven. The listening men protested accusing blasphemy and asking his right to forgive sins. Jesus answered which is easier to forgive sins or to tell this man to pick up his mat and walk. Jesus shows his authority to forgive sins by telling the man to get up, pick up his mat and go home. And the man did. The witnesses were filled with awe and amazement.
