Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city. And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven." And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes." And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, "Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home." And he got up and went home.
Matthew 9:1‭-‬7 NASB

In this passage it appears that Jesus wasn't going to heal the paralytic man. Because he doesn't until after he is accused of blasphemy. Then he draws the parallel between the power to heal and the power to forgive sins. Only God can do either.
