THE MESSAGE
Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking and said, "Why all this gossipy whispering? Which is simpler: to say ‘I forgive your sins,' or to say ‘Get up and start walking'? Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both...." He now spoke directly to the paraplegic: "Get up. Take your bedroll and go home." Without a moment's hesitation, he did it—got up, took his blanket, and left for home, giving glory to God all the way. The people rubbed their eyes, incredulous—and then also gave glory to God. Awestruck, they said, "We've never seen anything like that!"

Contextual Overview
17 And it occurred, on one of the days when Jesus was teaching, that Pharisees and Doctors of the law were sitting by, who had come from all the villages of Galilee and of Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 And some persons brought a paralytic man, on a couch, and sought to bring him in, and to place him before him. 19 And when they could not thus introduce him, because of the multitude of the people, they ascended to the roof, and let him down with the couch, from the covering, into the midst, before Jesus. 20 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 21 And the Scribes and Pharisees began to reason, and to say: Who is this that speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, but God only? 22 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: What think ye in your heart? 23 Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk? 24 But that ye may know, that the Son of man is competent to forgive sins on the earth, he said to the paralytic: I say to thee, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thy home. 25 And instantly, he rose up before their eyes, and took up his couch, and went home, glorifying God. 26 And astonishment seized every one; and they Praised God; and they were filled with awe, and said: We have seen wonders today.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts,.... Being God omniscient;
he answering said unto them, what reason ye in your hearts? This he said, not as being ignorant what their reasonings were, for it is before said he perceived their thoughts, but to expose the wickedness of them; in one exemplar of Beza's it is added, "evil things", as in Matthew 9:4.
Matthew 9:4- :.
