Matthew 9.5

For which is easier, to say "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Stand up and walk?"

Which indeed. This story, the healing of a paralytic, is important enough it's found in all three synoptic gospels. The importance is not the specific healing; Jesus did a lot of healing. The importance is the faith of the persons who brought the paralytic for healing.

Jesus was calling those who witnessed the healing to the same strong faith and, as we walk to Jerusalem, he asks the same of us.
