The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:18-19

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. So far there was nothing very unusual in the incident. These healings must have been of common occurrence with our Lord. The poor sufferer and his friends,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:18-25

Superabounding kindness. We learn from these words— I. CHRIST 'S CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS OWN GREATNESS . He assumes the right to forgive men their sins ( Luke 5:20 ), and, when this right is challenged by those present, he asserts it ( Luke 5:24 ). And he does not dispute that this is a Divine prerogative. When it is claimed that only God can forgive sins ( Luke 5:21 ), his reply is one that confirms rather than questions that doctrine. To a very large extent our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:20

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. For a moment the great Physician gave place to the Heart-reader; and the Lord spoke those strange, grand words to give comfort and peace to the suffering, silent, sick man. Jesus read what was in the heart of the poor paralytic; his sins distressed him more than his malady; very possibly the sad infirmity had been brought about by his old dissolute life. The soul, then, must be healed first. It was for this ,... read more

Luke 5:17-25. And on a certain day, as he was teaching Not on a sabbath day, as it appears, but on a week-day; and not in the synagogue, but in a private house. Preaching and hearing the word of God is good work, if it be performed properly, on any day in the week, as well as on the sabbath days; and in any convenient place, as well as in a place peculiarly set apart for divine worship: even there where we ordinarily converse with our friends, it is not improper to give and receive good... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 5:20

Luke 5:20 . They were all amazed Greek, εκστασις ελαβεν απαντας , astonishment seized all, that is, the Pharisees and doctors of the law, as well as the people: and they glorified God Matthew says, who had given such power unto men; power not only to heal diseases, but to forgive sins. For they could not but acknowledge the authority of Christ’s declaration, Thy sins be forgiven thee, when their eyes showed them the efficacy of his command, Arise and walk. And were filled with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 5:17-26

31. Jesus heals a paralyzed man (Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26)This story shows the first signs of organized Jewish opposition to Jesus. A group of religious leaders from Jerusalem, Judea and Galilee came, with evil motives, to find out for themselves what Jesus was doing and saying (Luke 5:17).Some friends of a paralyzed man were so sure Jesus could heal him that they allowed no obstacle to stop them from bringing the man to him. In his response Jesus did more than heal the man. He... read more
