Mark 2:5-9

5And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralyzed man, “Son, 1your sins are forgiven.”

6But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking it over in their hearts,

7“Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming! 2Who can forgive sins except God alone?”

8Immediately Jesus, aware 3in His spirit that they were thinking that way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you thinking about these things in your hearts?

9Which is easier, to say to the 4paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?
