Mateo 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 9:3

And behold, certain of the Scribes said within themselves,
&c.] And of the Pharisees also, as Luke says; for there were at this time Pharisees and doctors of the law, who were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea, and out of Jerusalem, sitting and hearing him teach, and observing what he said, and did; who upon hearing him pronounce the sentence of pardon, upon this "paralytic" man, reasoned and concluded in their own minds, though they did not care to speak it out, that

this man blasphemeth:
the reason was, because they thought he ascribed that to himself, which was peculiar to God: and so he did, and yet did not blaspheme; because he himself was God, of which he quickly gave convincing proofs.

Mateo 9:3 In-Context

1 Subió Jesús a una barca, cruzó al otro lado y llegó a su propio pueblo.

2 Unos hombres le llevaron un paralítico, acostado en una camilla. Al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, le dijo al paralítico:—¡Ánimo, hijo; tus pecados quedan perdonados!

3 Algunos de los maestros de la ley murmuraron entre ellos: «¡Este hombre blasfema!»

4 Como Jesús conocía sus pensamientos, les dijo:—¿Por qué dan lugar a tan malos pensamientos?

5 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: “Tus pecados quedan perdonados”, o decir: “Levántate y anda”?
