By what statement or action does Jesus claim to be God?
He said son your sins are forgiven you.Only God can forgive sins and he even proved it by telling the man too arise and walk.Since they believed that such disabledness is due to sin, he wanted to show that he is able to forgive sins through healing the man, whether their belief is right or wrong.

By what statement or action does Jesus claim to be God?
Hello dear friends, Honestly the miracles Jesus did really proved that he was God b`se the bibles says that it`s God alone who searches the hearts of People and now we see that Jesus new how these people percieved it in their hearts meaning that he can knew what their hearts were thinking and this a lone is done by God so in this context I get to understand that God had given his son the power to do what he can also do hence living God like.

my analysis
the paralytic was not really paralized but simply deceiving the towns folk, thats why jesus firstly recognized the faith of the men that brought the paralytic in,it was their faith that is mentioned and the first thing he said to the paralytic was "your sins are forgiven" because he immediately sensed the paralytic had been deceiving the towns folk, then the scribes get his attention by thinking "who is this man who forgives sin, blasphemy" in reply jesus says "Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Get up and walk"?’" he now takes the opportunity to correct a sinner carefully as not to expose the paralytic and endanger his life when the towns people finds out his deceit, at the same time to silence the scribes, he says to the paralytic, ‘Get up, take your mat and go home.’ And the man got up and went home" sometimes "quickly" or "immediately" is thrown in as if to emphasize the paralytic wanted to get out as fast as possible, not even thanking jesus dont you think the paralytic would stop and fall on his knees and thank jesus if he were healed
that is why there is no mention of the word "heal"and the first thing jesus says is "your sins are forgiven"this is indeed a powerful story, there are lots of interpretations of this, and this is just one more id just thought id share because i heard the gospel awhile ago and this just popped in while listening

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?' But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"
