Luke 5:20-24

and He having seen their faith, said to him, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks evil words? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?”

And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, “What reason you in your hearts?

Which is easier—to say, Your sins have been forgiven you? Or to say, Arise, and walk?

And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins—(He said to the one struck with palsy)—I say to you, arise, and having taken up your little bed, be going on to your house.”
