Luke 5:14-18

Then he ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”

But the news about him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

Yet he often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.

On one of those days while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and also from Jerusalem. And the Lord’s power to heal was in him.

Just then some men came, carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before him.
