Matthew 9:4-6 ▼

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

5 “For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, and walk’?

6 “But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic—“Rise, take up your bed, and go home.”
