Why does this man speak like this?
This question reflects the astonishment and confusion of the scribes and Pharisees present. In the cultural and religious context of first-century Judaism, the authority to forgive sins was reserved for God alone. The religious leaders were well-versed in the Law and the Prophets, which emphasized God's unique role in forgiveness (e.g.,Isaiah 43:25). Jesus' statement challenged their understanding of religious authority and tradition.

He is blaspheming!
Blasphemy, in Jewish law, was a serious accusation, often punishable by death (Leviticus 24:16). The charge of blasphemy here arises from Jesus' claim to forgive sins, which the scribes perceived as a direct affront to God's exclusive prerogative. This accusation foreshadows the later charges brought against Jesus during His trial (Mark 14:61-64), highlighting the growing tension between Jesus and the religious authorities.

Who can forgive sins but God alone?
This rhetorical question underscores the theological belief that only God has the authority to forgive sins, as seen in passages likePsalm 103:3. The scribes' question inadvertently points to the divine nature of Jesus, as Christians believe that Jesus, being God incarnate, possesses the authority to forgive sins. This moment in the Gospel of Mark is a pivotal revelation of Jesus' identity and mission, aligning with prophecies such asIsaiah 9:6, which speak of the coming Messiah as "Mighty God."

What Does Mark 2:7 Mean
Why does this man speak like this?

Jesus has just told the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven” (Mark 2:5). The religious scholars watching are stunned.

• They know only the Lord has authority to remove guilt (Exodus 34:6-7).

• They assume Jesus is merely a teacher, so His words sound outrageously presumptuous.

• Like the crowd inJohn 7:46—“No one ever spoke like this man!”—they sense something different, yet their hearts remain skeptical (cf.Luke 5:22, where Jesus reads their thoughts).

He is blaspheming!

Blasphemy, in their minds, is claiming for oneself what belongs exclusively to God.

• The Law demands death for true blasphemy (Leviticus 24:16).

• Later, when Jesus says, “I and the Father are one,” the same charge resurfaces (John 10:33).

• Ironically, the scribes accuse the only sinless One (Hebrews 4:15) of sin, revealing their spiritual blindness (Isaiah 6:9-10).

Who can forgive sins but God alone?

On this point the scribes are theologically right and spiritually wrong.

• Scripture is clear: “He forgives all your iniquities” (Psalm 103:3); “I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions” (Isaiah 43:25).

• Jesus backs His words with divine proof: “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…” He heals the paralytic instantly (Mark 2:10-12).

• The miracle verifies His identity as “Immanuel—God with us” (Matthew 1:23) and the promised Redeemer (Isaiah 35:5-6).

• The cross will later seal this authority, for “the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7), and the resurrection publicly vindicates Him (Romans 1:4).

summary

Mark 2:7 captures the conflict between human unbelief and divine self-revelation. The scribes rightly affirm that only God can forgive, yet fail to recognize God standing before them. Jesus’ words are not blasphemy; they are the gracious declaration of Deity in human flesh, offering forgiveness to all who will believe (John 3:16,Acts 13:38-39).

(7)Why doth this man . . .?--The better MSS. give, "Why doth this Man thus speak? He blasphemeth."
