²⁰When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."  ²¹The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"  ²²Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? ²³Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? ²⁴But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." ²⁵Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. ²⁶Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
Luke 5:20-26 (New International Version)

⁴⁷Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."  ⁴⁸Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."  ⁴⁹The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"  ⁵⁰Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
Luke 7:47-50 (New International Version)
