MNT(i)
5 Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."
6 But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.
7 "Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"
8 Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.
9 "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'?
10 But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he said to the paralytic—
11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."
