PARALYTIC HEALED. (Luk 5:17-26)

He was teaching
The pronoun has a slightly emphatic force: he as distinguished from the Pharisees and teachers of the law.
Doctors of the law (νομοδιδάσκαλοι)
Only in Luke and Ti1 1:7. Luke often uses νομικὸς, conversant with the law, but in the other word the element of teaching is emphasized, probably in intentional contrast with Christ's teaching.
Judaea and Jerusalem
The Rabbinical writers divided Judaea proper into three parts - mountain, sea-shore, and valley - Jerusalem being regarded as a separate district. "Only one intimately acquainted with the state of matters at the time, would, with the Rabbis, have distinguished Jerusalem as a district separate from all the rest of Judaea, as Luke markedly does on several occasions (Act 1:8; Act 10:39)" (Edersheim, "Jewish Social Life").
Was present to heal them
The A. V. follows the reading, αὐτούς, them; i.e., the sufferers who were present, referring back to Luk 5:15. The best texts, however, read αὐτόν, him, referring to Christ, and meaning was present that he should heal; i.e., in aid of his healing. So Rev. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Sitting by - As being more honourable than the bulk of the congregation, who stood. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them - To heal the sickness of their souls, as well as all bodily diseases. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
On a certain day - This was when he was at Capernaum. See Mar 2:1.
The power of the Lord - Δυναμις Κυριου The mighty or miraculous power of the Lord, i.e. of Jesus, was there to heal them - as many as were diseased either in body or soul. Where the teaching of Christ is, there also is the power of Christ to redeem and save. |
17 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], as [2532] he [846] was [2258] teaching [1321], that [2532] there were [2258] Pharisees [5330] and [2532] doctors of the law [3547] sitting by [2521], which [3739] were [2258] come [2064] out of [1537] every [3956] town [2968] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] Judaea [2449], and [2532] Jerusalem [2419]: and [2532] the power [1411] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] present to [1519] heal [2390] them [846].
18 And [2532], behold [2400], men [435] brought [5342] in [1909] a bed [2825] a man [444] which [3739] was [2258] taken with a palsy [3886]: and [2532] they sought [2212] means to bring [1533] him [846] in [1533], and [2532] to lay [5087] him before [1799] him [846].
19 And [2532] when they could [2147] not [3361] find [2147] by [1223] what [4169] way they might bring [1533] him [846] in [1533] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], they went [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and let [2524] him [846] down [2524] through [1223] the tiling [2766] with [4862] his couch [2826] into [1519] the midst [3319] before [1715] Jesus [2424].
20 And [2532] when he saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [2036] unto him [846], Man [444], thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863] thee [4671].
21 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] began [756] to reason [1260], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] which [3739] speaketh [2980] blasphemies [988]? Who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266], but [1508] God [2316] alone [3441]?
22 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] their [846] thoughts [1261], he answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], What [5101] reason ye [1260] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
23 Whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043]?
24 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] upon [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3886] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] couch [2826], and go [4198] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
25 And [2532] immediately [3916] he rose up [450] before [1799] them [846], and took up [142] that whereon [1909] [3739] he lay [2621], and departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624], glorifying [1392] God [2316].
26 And [2532] they were [2983] all [537] amazed [1611], and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], and [2532] were filled [4130] with fear [5401], saying [3004], [3754] We have seen [1492] strange things [3861] to day [4594].
1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], they brought [4374] to him [846] a man sick of the palsy [3885], lying [906] on [1909] a bed [2825]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] seeing [1492] their [846] faith [4102] said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3885]; Son [5043], be of good cheer [2293]; thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
3 And [2532], behold [2400], certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] said [2036] within [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] man blasphemeth [987].
4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761] said [2036], Wherefore [2444] think [1760] ye [5210] evil [4190] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
5 For [1063] whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] walk [4043]?
6 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (then [5119] saith he [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],) Arise [1453], take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2825], and [2532] go [5217] unto [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
7 And [2532] he arose [1453], and departed [565] to [1519] his [846] house [3624].
19 And [2532] when they could [2147] not [3361] find [2147] by [1223] what [4169] way they might bring [1533] him [846] in [1533] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], they went [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and let [2524] him [846] down [2524] through [1223] the tiling [2766] with [4862] his couch [2826] into [1519] the midst [3319] before [1715] Jesus [2424].
1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172].
17 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], as [2532] he [846] was [2258] teaching [1321], that [2532] there were [2258] Pharisees [5330] and [2532] doctors of the law [3547] sitting by [2521], which [3739] were [2258] come [2064] out of [1537] every [3956] town [2968] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] Judaea [2449], and [2532] Jerusalem [2419]: and [2532] the power [1411] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] present to [1519] heal [2390] them [846].
1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], they brought [4374] to him [846] a man sick of the palsy [3885], lying [906] on [1909] a bed [2825]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] seeing [1492] their [846] faith [4102] said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3885]; Son [5043], be of good cheer [2293]; thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
3 And [2532], behold [2400], certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] said [2036] within [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] man blasphemeth [987].
4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761] said [2036], Wherefore [2444] think [1760] ye [5210] evil [4190] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
5 For [1063] whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] walk [4043]?
6 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (then [5119] saith he [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],) Arise [1453], take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2825], and [2532] go [5217] unto [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
7 And [2532] he arose [1453], and departed [565] to [1519] his [846] house [3624].
15 But [1161] so much the more [3123] went there [1330] a fame [3056] abroad [1330] of [4012] him [846]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] came together [4905] to hear [191], and [2532] to be healed [2323] by [5259] him [846] of [575] their [846] infirmities [769].
39 And [2532] we [2249] are [2070] witnesses [3144] of all things [3956] which [3739] he did [4160] both [5037] in [1722] the land [5561] of the Jews [2453], and [2532] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419]; whom [3739] they slew [337] and hanged [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]:
8 But [235] ye shall receive [2983] power [1411], after that the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] is come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] witnesses [3144] unto me [3427] both [5037] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] in Samaria [4540], and [2532] unto [2193] the uttermost part [2078] of the earth [1093].
7 Desiring [2309] to be [1511] teachers of the law [3547]; [3361] understanding [3539] neither [3383] what [3739] they say [3004], nor [3383] whereof [4012] [5101] they affirm [1226].
1 And [2532] again [3825] he entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584] after [1223] some days [2250]; and [2532] it was noised [191] that [3754] he was [2076] in [1519] the house [3624].
