Mark 2:9

Context
NETBible

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

XREF

Mt 9:5; Mr 2:5; Lu 5:22-25

NET © Notes

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.
