Context of Luke 5:22

20When He saw their faith, He said, “Man, your sins are forgiven.” 21Then the Torah scholars and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this fellow speaking blasphemies? Who can pardon sins but God alone?” Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, replied to them, “Why are you raising questions in your hearts? 23Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins….” He said to the paralyzed one, “I tell you, get up and take your cot, and go home!”
