Luke 5:24 (New King James Version)
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
The word arise is translated from the Greek word egeiro, which suggests a waking from sleep, or even the sleep of death. The first thing that Jesus said to this man when He saw the faith of the man and his friends was that his sins were forgiven. The command arise calls for two responses: stand up from your bed and walk in the land of the living. Jesus brought physical and spiritual healing. The man was made whole and alive.
