ca. 350 C.E. ''But Jesus said to them, ''Which is easier to say to the paralytic, 'your sins are forgiven' or to say, 'get up and pick up you cot and walk'? ... - he said to the paralytic: 'I say to you, get up, pick up your cot, and go to your home.' At that he did got up, and immediately picked up his cot and walked out.'' Mark 2:8-12 N.W.T.
