Notes

Mark 2:5

Jesus saw the faith of the paralytic and the four men who brought him.
your sins are forgiven: Those listening understood the words of Jesus as a claim to having the same authority as God (see 2:6–10; Luke 7:48–49).

Mark 2:1–12

This controversy story is also a miracle story. It includes both a dispute and an act of healing or power.

Because it contains a miracle, it connects with the earlier group of miracle stories in 1:21–45.

Mark 2:1–3:6

Five controversy stories (2:1–12, 13–17, 18–22, 23–28; 3:1–6) are grouped together because they share a common theme. Each story shows a conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders. In these accounts, Jesus says or does things that challenge their beliefs and practices. These stories show the great authority that Jesus has.
