Matthew 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “Why are you thinking evil thoughts? ⁵ Which is easier: to tell this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to tell him, ‘Stand up and walk’? ⁶ But I will prove to you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.” Then Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
