Luke 5:22

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, ‹Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.›

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

‹Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?›

‹But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins,› (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) ‹I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.›
