Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said,
“Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
Which is easier to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’
or to say,
‘Get up and walk’?
But so that you may know that the Son of Man
has authority on earth to forgive sins…”
Then he said to the paralytic,
“Get up, take your mat and go home.”
And the man got up and went home.
