Matthew 9:5

Context
9:5 Which is easier, 1  to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’?

Matthew 27:47

Context
27:47 When 2  some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

1 sn Which is easier is a reflective kind of question. On the one hand to declare sins are forgiven is easier, since one does not need to see it, unlike telling a paralyzed person to walk. On the other hand, it is harder, because for it to be true one must possess the authority to forgive the sin.

2 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
