In context

⁵When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

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

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

⁸At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

⁹“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
