Jesus Forgives Sins: That's Much Greater Power Than Healing
For which is easier, to say your sins are forgiven you, or to say, "Arise and walk?" But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. Then he said to the paralytic, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." And he arose and departed to his house. So that whole instance with reference to a problem worse than paralysis underscores the reality that the son of man has power. He has authority to forgive sin.
