Luke 5:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? ²⁴ But ·I will prove to you [^Lso that you may know] that the Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, stand up, take your ·mat [cot; bed], and go home.”

²⁵ At once the man stood up before them, picked up ·his mat [^Lwhat he had been lying on], and went home, ·praising [glorifying] God.
