6. But some of the Torah scholars were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
7. “Why does this fellow speak like this? He blasphemes! Who can pardon sins but God alone?”
8. Immediately Yeshua, knowing in His spirit that they were raising questions this way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you questioning these things in your hearts?
9. Which is easier, to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, and take your mat and walk’?
10. But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority to pardon sins on earth….” He tells the paralyzed man,
11. “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home!”
12. At once the man got up, took his mat, and walked before them all. They were all astonished and glorified God, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this!”
13. Again, Yeshua went out by the sea. The whole crowd kept coming to Him, and He continued to teach them.
