Read Luke 5.17-26. In 5.17-26: Forgiveness of sins and healing of paralysis. This healing story is the occasion for a dispute with the religious authorities on the interpretation of the law. In verse 17: The Pharisees and teachers of the law were central figures in synagogues in every community, calling Israel to observance of the Torah (law of God given to Moses ). In verses 20-22: Jesus both saw faith of the crowd and perceived the questionings of the scribes and the Pharisees as disbelief in your hearts (see 2.5). Questions were customary method of teaching by prompting an answer from the law, but these questions accuse Jesus of blasphemy (slandering God or God's name). In verse 23: Jesus' question also calls for interpretation which is easier which is the "lighter" or the "heavier" matter according to the law. In verse 24: The Son of Man is the judge on the clouds of heaven at the end of Dan 7.13. Jesus claims that authority for himself on earth. Comments or Questions..
