Matthew 9:4-6
9:4 When Jesus saw their reaction he said, “Why do you respond with evil in your hearts?
9:5 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’?
9:6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” – then he said to the paralytic – “Stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.”
