1 | Man, man, or ...? Who blasphemes here? e | Matt 9:3 | Timothy Paul | 47864 | ||
Dear Ray, After looking in Matthew Henrys commentary pertaining to your question about whether Jesus sees their faith and knows their thoughts, I would like to share what I found: Mr. Henry says, Our Lord Jesus has the perfect knowledge of all that we say within ourselves. Thoughts are secret and sudden, yet naked and open before Christ, the eternal Word (Heb. 4:12, 13), and he understands them afar off, Ps. 139:2. He could say to them (which no mere man could), Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? Note, There is a great deal of evil in sinful thoughts, which is very offensive to the Lord Jesus. He being the Sovereign of the heart, sinful thoughts invade his right, and disturb his possession; therefore he takes notice of them, and is much displeased with them. In them lies the root of bitterness, Gen. 6:5. The sins that begin and end in the heart, and go no further, are as dangerous as any other. Peace and Blessings, Tim |

Hi Timothy Paul, It is good to know a "fellow capitalizer". I appreciate your participation and interest in this question.******* I'm having trouble with my communicator so please excuse the lack of paragraphs.****** Thank you for the quote from Matthew Henry. It is too bad that he is not a capitalizer...no, no, forget that. He doesn't appear to be concerned about capitalization like you and me, but he is aware of the eternal Word, Heb 4:12. However, I do not agree with his capitalization for this verse but rather go with the NASB and NKJ there. The word of God of Heb 4:12 however does compare well with this "fellow" who is said to blaspheme in Matthew 9:3; especially Heb 4:13 when we consider that "all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of *Him with whom we have to do."******* Thus, we can continue on and glorify (God) and confess that Jesus is the Son of (God). Matthew 9:8 and Hebrew 4:14.******* I appreciate Mr. Henry's Psalm 139:2 reference for comparison also with Heb 4:12,13. Psalm 139:4, "Even before there is [Literally, "For there is not a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, *Thou dost know it all." And Matthew 9:4, "And *Jesus knowing their thoughts..." From the heart, Ray |

P.S. Psalms 139:17, "How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them. If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with Thee./ Good night. From the heart, Ray | ||||||
