The authority to forgive sins is a divine prerogative, indicating Jesus' divine nature. In Jewish culture, only God could forgive sins, so this statement is a direct claim to divinity. The phrase "on the earth" emphasizes that this authority is not limited to the heavenly realm but is active and present in the world.He said to the paralytic, The paralytic represents those who are spiritually and physically in need of healing. In the context of first-century Judea, physical ailments were often seen as a result of sin, making the forgiveness of sins and healing interconnected. Jesus addressing the paralytic directly demonstrates His personal care and attention to individual needs.I tell you, This phrase underscores Jesus' authoritative teaching style. Unlike the scribes and Pharisees, who relied on tradition and interpretation, Jesus speaks with inherent authority. This direct command reflects His role as a prophet and teacher, echoing the authority of God speaking through His prophets in the Old Testament.get up, The command to "get up" signifies a call to action and transformation. It is a physical manifestation of the spiritual healing that has taken place. This mirrors the resurrection power of Christ, who calls believers to rise from spiritual death to new life.pick up your mat, The instruction to pick up the mat serves as a tangible sign of the miracle. It demonstrates the completeness of the healing, as the man is not only able to walk but also to carry his own burden. This act symbolizes the removal of past burdens and the beginning of a new journey in faith.and go home. Returning home signifies restoration to community and normalcy. In a broader sense, it represents the reconciliation with God and the return to one's spiritual home. This command also emphasizes the personal and communal aspects of Jesus' miracles, as the healed man would testify to his family and community about the power of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus (Son of Man)</a> Central figure in this passage, demonstrating His divine authority to forgive sins and heal. 2. <a href="/topical/p/paralyzed_man.htm">Paralyzed Man</a> The recipient of Jesus' miraculous healing and forgiveness, representing those in need of both physical and spiritual restoration. 3. <a href="/topical/p/pharisees_and_teachers_of_the_law.htm">Pharisees and Teachers of the Law</a> Religious leaders present, questioning Jesus' authority and providing a backdrop of skepticism. 4. <a href="/topical/c/capernaum.htm">Capernaum</a> The location where this event takes place, a town where Jesus performed many miracles. 5. <a href="/topical/c/crowd.htm">Crowd</a> Witnesses to the miracle, representing the broader public who are amazed by Jesus' works.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/a/authority_of_jesus.htm">Authority of Jesus</a> Jesus' authority to forgive sins is a central tenet of Christian faith, affirming His divinity and role as Savior. <a href="/topical/f/faith_and_healing.htm">Faith and Healing</a> The healing of the paralyzed man illustrates the power of faith and the importance of seeking Jesus for both physical and spiritual needs. <a href="/topical/c/challenge_of_skepticism.htm">Challenge of Skepticism</a> The presence of the Pharisees highlights the challenge of skepticism and the need for believers to stand firm in their faith. <a href="/topical/h/holistic_restoration.htm">Holistic Restoration</a> Jesus’ actions demonstrate His concern for holistic restoration—addressing both spiritual and physical needs. <a href="/topical/p/public_witness.htm">Public Witness</a> The miracle serves as a public testimony to Jesus’ power, encouraging believers to share their faith and experiences of God’s work in their lives.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_5.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 5</a> <a href="/q/how_do_miracles_differ_from_magic.htm">How do miracles differ from magic?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_olivet_discourse_about.htm">What is the Olivet Discourse about?</a> <a href="/q/how_does_placebo_explain_faith_healing.htm">How does the placebo effect explain the efficacy of faith healing?</a> <a href="/q/how_to_share_good_news_effectively.htm">How can we share the good news effectively?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 24, 25. - That ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. The lookers-on, the curious, the cavillers, the friendly, too, as the unfriendly, who crowded that Capernaum house, could not see with their eyes the Redeemer's remission of the palsied man's sins. The sufferer alone was conscious that the great burden which pressed on his soul was removed at the Master's word. But all could see the miracle which followed. Any one of those present, had he dared, might have uttered the solemn absolution. None but he could surely risk, as he risked, such words which followed, and which challenged an instant and visible fulfilment. It was a strange, great claim the Master made that day, and we may be sure it and the mighty sign which followed sank deep into many a heart. We see why the memory of this day's work was treasured up so faithfully. He took up that whereon he lay. This could easily have been done. The bed or pallet would be nothing but a light portable framework covered with a blanket. <a href="/commentaries/luke/5-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. so that ἵνα (hina) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2443.htm">Strong's 2443: </a> In order that, so that.
