Luke 5:22-24 ▼

22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24 But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—He said to the paralytic—“I say to you, get up, and, picking up your stretcher, go home.”
