Lucas 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:24

But that ye may know, that the son of man
Whom the Scribes and Pharisees took for a mere man, in which they were mistaken; for though he was really a man, and the son of man, yet he was God as well as man; he was God manifest in the flesh:

hath power upon earth to forgive sins;
even in the days of his flesh, whilst he was in his humble form on earth; for he did not cease to be God by becoming man, nor lose any branch of his power, not this of forgiving sin, by appearing in the form of a servant; and, that it might be manifest,

he said unto the sick of the palsy:
these are the words of the evangelist, signifying, that Christ turned himself from the Scribes and Pharisees to the paralytic man, and thus addressed him: I say unto thee, arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine
house.

Lucas 5:24 In-Context

22 Jesús entonces, conociendo los pensamientos de ellos, respondiendo les dijo: ¿Qué pensáis en vuestros corazones

24 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice al paralítico): A ti digo, levántate, toma tu lecho, y vete a tu casa

25 Y luego, levantándose en presencia de ellos, y tomando el lecho en que estaba echado, se fue a su casa, glorificando a Dios

26 Y tomó espanto a todos, y glorificaban a Dios; y fueron llenos de temor, diciendo: Hemos visto maravillas hoy
