9. Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be
forgiven thee--or "are forgiven thee";
or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and walk?--"Is it easier to
command away disease than to bid away sin? If, then, I do the one which
you can see, know thus that I have done the other, which you cannot
see."
