Mark 2:8

8 quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se dicit illis quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris

Mark 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 2:8

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his Spirit
"His own Spirit", as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read; not his human soul, nor the holy Spirit of God, though both may be said to be his Spirit; but his divine nature, in and by which he knew all things, even the most sacred thoughts of men's hearts: and as soon as ever the above thoughts were conceived in the minds of the Scribes and Pharisees, they were perceived by him, and told to them,

that they so reasoned within themselves; he said unto them, why
reason ye these things in your hearts?
thereby reproving them, not for reasoning and concluding in their own minds, that none but God can forgive sins; but for imputing blasphemy to him, for pronouncing this man's sins pardoned; he being God, as well as man, of which his knowing the thoughts and reasonings of their minds might have been a convincing proof.

Mark 2:8 In-Context

6 erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes et cogitantes in cordibus suis
7 quid hic sic loquitur blasphemat quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus
8 quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se dicit illis quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris
9 quid est facilius dicere paralytico dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
10 ut autem sciatis quia potestatem habet Filius hominis in terra dimittendi peccata ait paralytico
