Matthew 9:1-8

Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man
For parallels see Mk 2:1-12 and Lk 5:17-26.
v.1 Having left the region of the Gadarenes (see Mt 8:28-34), Jesus arrives in his hometown of Capernaum (cf. Mk 2:1).
v.2 Some men bring him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith (the paralytic and the men who brought him), he tells the paralytic that his sins are forgiven. The men had faith that Jesus could heal the physical illness. There may have been a connection between the man's sin and his illness. In John 9, Jesus's disciples made such a connection (Jn 9:1-7).
v.3-7 The Jews believed that only God could forgive sins and therefore some scribes took exception to Jesus statement and thought within their hearts "this man is blaspheming." Jesus, knowing their thoughts, proposes a test: they believed that the illness could be a result of sin, so if Jesus could heal the illness then he could forgive the sin. Jesus said “Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” The man jumped to his feet, and Jesus's claim is vindicated.
v.8 At this the crowds were amazed and praised God.
