And that ye might know that the Son of man has power to remit sins upon earth, (he says to the paralytic)
And Jesus, having come into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say me to be, the Son of Man?
I say to thee, Arise, and lift up thy couch, and retire to thy house.
Why is it easier to say to the paralytic, Sins have been remitted to thee? or to say, Arise, lift up thy couch, and walk?
This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
