Hello there!

One example when Jesus forgave sinners in his public ministry is when He forgave and healed a paralyzed man (Matthew 9:1-8).

The account is told in Matthew 9. Some men brought to Him a paralyzed man lying on a mat. Jesus then told the man "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." (Matt 9:2).

Some Jews were mumbling to themselves, saying that Jesus was blaspheming, but then He said " Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? " (Matt 9:5).

To demonstrate that He had authority to forgive sinners, he commanded the man to get up and walk, and the man got up and went home. The crowd was filled with awe for this great miracle and demonstration of power.

Have a nice day!
