Matthew 9:2-6

Riverside(i) 2 They brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Have courage, boy, your sins are forgiven." 3 At once some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is speaking profane words." 4 Jesus knew their thoughts and said, "Why are you thinking evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 For which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" — then he said to the paralytic, "Rise, take up your bed and go to your house."
