Matthew 9:4 YLT

²  and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

³  And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 'This one doth speak evil.'

⁴  And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, 'Why think ye evil in your hearts?

⁵  for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

⁶  'But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic) -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'
