What does the Bible say about the power to forgive sins?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive sins, reflecting His divinity and role as Savior.

Scripture indicates that forgiveness of sins is exclusively within the power of God, which is affirmed when Jesus says to the paralytic, 'Son, thy sins be forgiven thee' (Mark 2:5). This moment underscores the unique authority Jesus possesses as the God-man, highlighting that only He can absolve sinners. The response from the scribes demonstrates their understanding that forgiving sins equates to blasphemy unless one is God, which solidifies Jesus's divine identity and power to grant spiritual healing.
