Luke 5:23-25 Which is easier? To say, Thy sins are forgiven thee? Or to say, Rise up and walk?

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Which is easier? To say, Thy sins are forgiven thee? Or to say, Rise up and walk? ²⁴ But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thine house. ²⁵ And immediately rising up before them, and taking up that on which he lay, he went to his house, glorifying God.
