But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),
Now when Jesus came into the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
