Verse 12
The man responded to all three commands immediately and obediently.
Jesus’ healing was complete and instantaneous. Everyone in the house witnessed the miracle including the religious leaders. They were amazed (Gr. existasthai, lit. "out of their minds," cf. Mark 3:21; Mark 5:42; Mark 6:51). They had witnessed something that neither they nor anyone else had ever seen. No one had ever given evidence of forgiving the sins of someone else. This was a strong testimony to Jesus’ deity. However from the reaction of the observers most of them apparently marveled at the physical miracle but did not worship Jesus as God.
