But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
“I say to you, stand up, take your mat, and go to your home.”
Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and take your mat and walk’?
God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
