Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?" Luke 7:49
We know that God the father, gives Jesus the authority to forgive sins. In the same way Jesus gives authority to his priests to forgive sins.
So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."....If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained." John 20:21,23
Even if you aren't Catholic, can you see why confession to a priest is Biblical?
