Mark 2:10 NLT,NIV,ESV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 2:6-12

Christ's defense against the scribes: v. 6. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, v. 7. Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only!' v. 8. And immediately when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts!' v.. Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and take up thy... read more

Mark CHRIST’S AUTHORITY TO FORGIVE Mar_2:1 - Mar_2:12 . Mark alone gives Capernaum as the scene of this miracle. The excitement which had induced our Lord to leave that place had been allowed ‘some days’ to quiet down, ‘after’ which He ventures to return, but does not seem to have sought publicity, but to have remained in ‘the house’-probably Peter’s. There would be at least one woman’s heart there, which would love to lavish grateful service on Him. But ‘He could not be hid,’ and, however... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 2:1-22

the Friend of Sinners Mark 1:40-45 ; Mark 2:1-22 The leper, Mark 1:40-45 . The news of Christ spread fast and far until it reached the outcasts from Jewish society, the very dregs of humanity. As the story of the wonderful miracles wrought by our Lord was pondered deeply by this man, He concluded that the only question which remained was that of Christ’s willingness to hear. As to His power there could be no doubt. But no one of all the religious world of that time had ever thought of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 2:1-28

A great principle of the exercise of power by the Master is revealed in the words, "When He saw their faith." There can be no doubt that the word "their" includes the whole party, both the man himself and those who brought him. From the house to the seashore He passed, and the multitudes followed Him. Rapidly and forcefully the story of Levi is told. Called to follow. All abandoned. A feast made, and Jesus the principal Guest, with many of Levi's friends and associates present. Again the... read more

The Healing of the Sick of the Palsy Mark 2:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. How Christ's meetings were advertised. Our Lord's Word and His work was sufficient to assure Him a multitude, whithersoever He went. He moved among the people in a quiet and even in an humble mien. When He spoke He was accustomed to sit down. When He healed the sick or raised the dead, He did not sound a trumpet before Him, yet all the people sought Him. We are coming more and more to the conviction that after all it is a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:1-12

The Son of Man Has the Power to Forgive Sins (2:1-12). The idea of the authority of Jesus continues. Having been revealed as the drencher in the Holy Spirit, God’s beloved and Spirit anointed Son, the proclaimer of the Kingly Rule of God, the authoritative teacher, the exorcist of evil spirits by a word of command, the healer of all diseases, and the cleanser of the skin diseased, possessing an authority that ignores uncleanness, He is now revealed as the One Who has authoritative power on... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:10-11

“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins,” he says to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise. Take up your bed and go to your house.” ’ This is a central verse of the passage for it contains the essential message that this account is all about. The sudden switch in subject in the middle of the verse should be noted. It has caused some to see the original account as having been interfered with in one way or the other. But it is difficult to see how Mark could... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:1-12

Mark 2:1-2 Kings : . The Healing of the Paralytic.— Loisy (pp. 86– 88) regards the discussion of the right to forgive sins as artificially interwoven by Mk. into a simpler story of healing. He says it is not like Jesus to prove a spiritual claim by the argument of a miracle. Jesus refused to work signs.” The power to forgive is also asserted by Jesus personally as a Messianic endowment. This conflicts with the attitude towards the Messianic secret (p. 670) preserved elsewhere in the gospel.... read more
