Matthew 9:5 wording change
Matthew 9:5 Original wording: It would not be hard for someone to say to this man, 'I forgive your sins,' because no one could see whether or not it really happened. But no one would say to him, 'Get up and walk!,' because people could easily see whether he could walk again! Changed because this loses the rhetorical question and reverses the idea that it IS HARDER to forgive sins than to heal the paralytic.

|

\v 4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said, "You should not think evil thoughts!
|

\v 5 It would not be hard for someone to say to this man, 'I forgive your sins,' because no one could see whether or not it really happened. But no one would say to him, 'Get up and walk!,' because people could easily see whether he could walk again!

\v 5 What is easier, to tell him that his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and walk?
|

\v 6 So I am going to do something in order that you may know that God has authorized me, the Son of Man, to forgive the sins of people while I am on the earth." Then he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!"
