Join us LIVE for an in-depth Bible class on Mark 2:1-12 - Jesus Forgives Sins!

Описание: We'll dive deep into the Greek text, historical context, cross-references, and how Mark dramatically shows Jesus' divine authority (ἐξουσία / exousia) as the Son of Man to forgive sins on earth – first declaring forgiveness to the paralytic (παραλυτικός / paralytikos), then proving it by commanding him to rise, take his mat, and walk! Using Logos software for word studies on key terms like ἀφίημι (aphiēmi – forgive/release sins), πίστις (pistis – faith, seen in the four friends' actions), βλασφημία (blasphemia – the scribes' charge), and more.

Explore the 1st-century Capernaum home setting (likely Peter's house), the cultural practice of flat mud/straw roofs that could be dug through, the friends' bold persistence despite the crowd, Jesus seeing "their faith," the controversy over who can forgive sins (only God!), and the miracle that silences the critics and glorifies God. Cross-references include parallels in Matthew 9:1-8 and Luke 5:17-26, plus OT echoes like Psalm 103:3 (who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases) and Daniel 7:13-14 (Son of Man with authority).

This passage powerfully shows Jesus as both merciful forgiver and authoritative healer – sins forgiven first, then physical restoration!
