But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:
And, Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip, began questioning his disciples, saying—Who are men saying that, the Son of Man, is?
Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand,—to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
Which is easier—to say unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and be walking?
To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto thy house.
