21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?



22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?



23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?



Ver. 23. Whether is easier] q.d. Neither of either: for both are equally hard, and feasible to God alone.
