If a man claiming to be the Son of God, tells the guy his sins are forgiven and then, after being accused of blaspheme, said, what is easier to say to a many your sins are forgiven to to tell him to take up his bed and walk. You see, the timing and context increases the probability that this was a miracle.
If there were no such thing as hoaxes or lying or Chinese whispers; it might. As it is, it's just a story that someone who wasn't an eyewitness eventually wrote down, after who knows how many retellings. Every Iron Age culture was full of such stories, which were nearly impossible to investigate in a world with ships and horses as the fastest forms of communication and travel.
