Mark 2:7-11

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

8Now immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to them, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?

9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’?

10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” – he said to the paralytic –

11“I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.”
