DISCOURSE: 1418THE PARALYTIC HEALEDMark 2:8-12. 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? 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 bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 2:1-28

Now,And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house ( Mark 2:1 ).So, word went around Jesus is in the house over there.And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them ( Mark 2:2 ).I like that.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 2:1-28

Mark 2:7-11But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins. The ease of Divine powerI think it is impossible not to be struck with this narrative. He not only shows His power here, but He shows an unrivalled and infinite ease in the exercise of it. For He lets His enemies themselves, as it were, choose the way in which it should be manifested; signifying that with Him it made no difference. (J. Miller.)An example of Christ’s supreme powerI. Power to forgive sin.1.... read more
