Luke 5:20-24

When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The religious teachers and the Pharisees began to argue with that. “Who is this who's speaking blasphemies?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”

Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?

What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?

However, I will prove to you that the Son of man has the authority here on earth to forgive sins.” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
