Luke 5:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:22

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts
Being God omniscient;

he answering said unto them, what reason ye in your hearts?
This he said, not as being ignorant what their reasonings were, for it is before said he perceived their thoughts, but to expose the wickedness of them; in one exemplar of Beza's it is added, "evil things", as in ( Matthew 9:4 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 9:4).

Luke 5:22 In-Context

20 When Yeshua saw their trust, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."

21 The Torah-teachers and the P'rushim began thinking, "Who is this fellow that speaks such blasphemies? Who can forgive sin except God?"

22 But Yeshua, knowing what they were think ing, answered, "Why are you turning over such thoughts in your hearts?

23 Which is easier to say? `Your sins are forgiven you'? or `Get up and walk'?

24 But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." He then said to the paralytic, "I say to you: get up, pick up your mattress and go home!"
