Lukas 5:22

22 But he having had daas of their machshavot (thoughts), said to them in reply, Why are you reasoning in your levavot?

Lukas 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).

Lukas 5:22 In-Context

20 And having seen their emunah, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, Ben Adam, your chatta’im (sins) have received selicha (forgiveness).

21 And the Sofrim began to raise kashes (questions), and also the Perushim, saying, Who is this who is speaking Chillul Hashem gidduf? Who is able to grant selicha to chatta’im but Hashem alone?

22 But he having had daas of their machshavot (thoughts), said to them in reply, Why are you reasoning in your levavot?

23 Which is easier: to say, Your chatta’im have been granted selicha, or to say, Get up and walk?

24 But in order that you may have da’as that the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13] has samchut on HaAretz to grant selicha to chatta’im, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to the one having been paralyzed, To you I say, Get up, pick up your mat, and go to your bais (house, home).
