Description: Jesus' declaration "your sins are forgiven" to the paralytic is a direct claim to divine authority; only God can forgive sins committed against himself; and his subsequent healing of the man's body visibly verifies that invisible, divine authority, in contrast to human systems (like Catholic indulgences) that claim forgiveness can be earned or mediated by human merit.
