Mark 2:9

Context
2:9 Which is easier, 1  to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’?

Mark 2:11

Context
2:11 “I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” 2 

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 Grk “to your house.”
