But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So Jesus said to the man who couldn’t walk,
When Jesus got to the area of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
God has lifted Jesus up and given him a place of honor at his right hand, making him Prince and Savior so he can turn Israel away from their sins and forgive them.
Which is easier to say to this man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or, ‘Get up, take your mat, and walk’?
“I tell you, get up, take your mat, and go home.”
