22. Jesus recognized what they were discussing and responded, "Why do you fill your minds with these questions?
23. Which is easier—to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
24. But so that you will know that the Human One has authority on the earth to forgive sins" —Jesus now spoke to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, get up, take your cot, and go home."
25. Right away, the man stood before them, picked up his cot, and went home, praising God.
26. All the people were beside themselves with wonder. Filled with awe, they glorified God, saying, "We’ve seen unimaginable things today."
