5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 "Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? He blasphemes! Who can forgive sins but one - God?"
8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven;` or to say, `Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?`
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic,
11 "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
