'Paralytic' in the Bible

And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four [of them].

And [when] they were not able to bring [him] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And [after] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.

And [when] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."

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

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--he said to the paralytic--
