This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1–12. HEALING OF A PARALYTIC AT CAPERNAUM. THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS

Mat 9:1-8. Luk 5:17-26

This incident gives the dominant thought to a group of narratives which record the hostile criticisms of the Scribes and Pharisees (Mar 2:1 to Mar 3:6). It comes after—we do not know how long after—the healing of the leper; so also in Lk. The other narratives seem to be selected because of their resemblance to this one, and are perhaps arranged so as to form a climax. Here the hostile party do not openly express their criticisms. In Mar 2:15-17 they utter them to the disciples. In 18–22 and 23–28 they utter them to Christ Himself. In Mar 3:1-6 they seek plans for His destruction.
