Which is easier to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk'?

"I say to you, get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home."

And he got up and immediately picked up his stretcher [and] went out in front of [them] all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen [anything] like this!"

But Jesus took hold of his hand [and] raised him up, and he stood up.
