And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. The word “them” scarcely gives the right sense of the original; it should be, “the power of the Lord was...

And it came to pass on a certain days, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. To heal the people? Yes, and to heal the doctors, too; and that was a far more difficult thing than to...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? Most true, O Pharisees; and, therefore he is God, for...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. Laying the axe at the root; not healing the paralysis at first, but forgiving the sin which depressed the man’s spirit, and so was, in a measure, the cause of the paralysis. By removing the sin, he raised the man’s spirits, and with his renewed spirits, there same back...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. Christ has eyes with which he can see faith. You and I cannot see it; but he can: “When he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins be forgiven thee.” This was going to the very root of his disease. Jesus knew what the man really ailed; he was palsied in spirit...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Began to reason, saying, Who it this which speaketh blasphemies? ho can forgive sins, but God alone. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? He that could do the one could do the other. He who bids the...

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, The gentlemen I alluded to just now began to reason. It was just like them; instead of beginning to praise God, they “began to reason,”-
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Saying, Who is this, which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts? See, Jesus can perceive thoughts. I have heard of “thought-reading.” Here is a true specimen of it: “Jesus perceived their thoughts, and said unto them, Why reason...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, rise up and walk? “Does not each of these require the same divine power? If I am able to bid him rise up and walk, I am also able, by the same divine authority, to forgive his sins.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? Anyone can say, “Thy sins be forgiven thee,” or, “Rise up and walk,” but to forgive sins, or to give the power to rise up and walk, equally needs a God. If God be present, and can make the palsied man arise and walk, he is also able to forgive his sins.
