2:1 Yeshua heals a paralysed man
2 When Yeshua came back to Capernaum after a few days, people soon heard that he was back in the house. 2 And so many people turned up there that there wasn’t any room left—not even in the doorway. Inside, Yeshua was explaining the Scriptures to them. 3 Four men arrived, carrying a paralysed man to Yeshua, 4 but because of the crowd, they were unable to get close. So they climbed up onto the flat roof, made a hole through it, and lowered the paralysed man lying on a pallet. 5 Yeshua, observing their faith, said to the man, “Son, your sins are forgiven!”[fn]
6 But some of the religious teachers were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why’s he talking like that? He’s seriously insulting God. There’s only one who can forgive sins, and that’s God himself.”
8 Then Yeshua, knowing in his spirit that they are thinking like that, said to them, “Why are you thinking that to yourselves? 9 Which is easier: to tell the paralysed man that his sins have been forgiven, or to tell him to pick up his bedding and walk? 10 But so you all can see that humanity’s child does have authority here on the earth to forgive sins,” he turned and said to the paralysed man, 11 “Listen. Get up, take your bedding, and go home!”
12 So the man stood up, and picked up his bedding, and went out of the house where everyone saw him and marvelled and praised God saying, “We’ve never seen anything happen like this before!”
2:5 Yeshua’s hearers would have taken this as a claim to be God, as they knew that only God could forgive sins.
