Bible Note: Hi Timothy Paul, I think that you are entirely correct. Jesus skipped over their blasphemous thoughts and tied together "Your sins are forgiven" with "Rise, and walk".*****The NASB has completely within hash marks, "---then He said to the paralytic---". Thus we have "Jesus seeing their faith, He said" and also "Jesus knowing their thoughts, He said" with the bottom line, the proof, being "Then He said to the paralytic, "Rise, take up your bed, and go home." And he rose, and went home. But when the multitudes saw this, they were filled with awe, and glorified (God), who had given such authority to men."*****They glorified God who came in the likeness of men. They glorified the Son of (God). ****** I see the Trinity in these three statements of Jesus. I also see the Trinity in Matthew 9:15 where it talks of the bridegroom three times. This is the Bridegroom of Genesis 1:26 to my mind. ****From the heart, Ray |
