What he said next amazed all of us." Son, your sins are forgiven." Now there was some rather well-to-do looking gentlemen sitting towards the back of the room. I later found out they were called scribes. It's as if Jesus read their minds because he said to them," why do you question these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, your sins are forgiven or to say rise, take up your bed and walk?" I personally was thinking anyone could say your sins are forgiven. But I'd never seen anyone tell a paralyzed person to pick up his bed and walk. Jesus then said to them," but that you may know that the son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" then he turned to the paralytic and said," I say to you, rise pick up your bed, and go home." The man got up, picked up his bed and walked out the door. Everyone was amazed and they begin to glorify God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!" I thought the well-to-do gentlemen would be equally amazed but instead they just glared at him. I think what was puzzling to me was the statement that Jesus had made your sins are forgiven. I wanted to ask him more about this but kept quiet.
