Luke 5:19-23

But because there were so many people there, they could not find a way in. So they went up on the roof and lowered the man on his mat through the ceiling into the middle of the crowd right before Jesus.

But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why are you thinking these things?

Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’?
