Luke 5:24

24 ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis potestatem habet in terra dimittere peccata ait paralytico tibi dico surge tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam

Luke 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.

Luke 5:24 In-Context

22 ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum respondens dixit ad illos quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris

23 quid est facilius dicere dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et ambula

24 ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis potestatem habet in terra dimittere peccata ait paralytico tibi dico surge tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam

25 et confestim surgens coram illis tulit in quo iacebat et abiit in domum suam magnificans Deum

26 et stupor adprehendit omnes et magnificabant Deum et repleti sunt timore dicentes quia vidimus mirabilia hodie
