Luke 5:20-24

And when He saw [their confidence in Him, springing from] their faith, He said, Man, your sins are forgiven you!

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason and question and argue, saying, Who is this [Man] Who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts and questionings, answered them, Why do you question in your hearts?

Which is easier: to say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk [about]?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has the [power of] authority and right on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralyzed man, I say to you, arise, pick up your litter (stretcher), and go to your own house!
