Markus 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 2:8

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his Spirit

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.
