And likewise, it is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke that one day Jesus passed by a Jew who was afflicted with paralysis and had fallen on his bed. When he saw Jesus, he recognized him through signs and cried out for help. Jesus said to him, "Get up from your bed, your sins are forgiven." A few Jews present there objected, saying "Can anyone forgive sins but God?" Jesus turned to them and said, "Which is easier, to say 'Get up and carry your bed,' or to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." The Persian translation is: When Jesus told the helpless paralytic to get up, as his sins were truly forgiven, a group of Jews objected, asking if anyone but the Almighty God could forgive the sins of servants? Jesus turned to them and said, "Which is easier in your eyes, to tell this paralytic to get up and go, or to say your sins are forgiven, so that you may know that there is authority on earth for the Son of Man to forgive the sins of sinners. This is the true sovereignty and the power of the divine saints. All these details, repeatedly mentioned from every position and everywhere, aim to enlighten us about the allusions in the words of divine saints, so that perhaps our steps won't slip on some phrases and our hearts won't be disturbed.
