But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins*--he said to the paralytic--
Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his talmidim, saying, *Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?*
*I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.*
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Yisra'el, and remission of sins.
