Luke 5:25

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And immediately he rose up before them,.... As soon as ever these words were spoken by Christ, the man, before sick of the palsy, finding himself perfectly well, got off of his couch, and stood up on his feet before the Scribes and Pharisees, and all the people:and took up that whereon he lay; his couch, or bed: and departed to his own house; with it upon his back: "and went to his business", as the Persic version renders it:glorifying God; both for the healing of his body, and for the pardon of his sins; each of which he knew none but God could do.
