SCRIPTURE

"And he arose, and departed to his house." — Matthew 9:7 (ASV)

And he arose, and departed to his house . Immediately, at the command of Christ, believing he was able to heal him by a word speaking; and, upon his attempt to arise, found himself perfectly healed of his disease, and endowed with such strength, that he could, not only with the greatest ease, arise from his bed, stand upon his feet, and walk alone, without any help.

But, as the other evangelists declare, he took up his bed, on which he lay, carried it home on his shoulders, in the sight of all the people, praising, and giving glory to God for this wonderful cure, which he had received.
