2:6 有幾個文士坐在那裡，心裡議論，說：
2:7 「這個人為甚麼這樣說呢？他說僭妄的話了。除了上帝以外，誰能赦罪呢？」
2:8 耶穌心中知道他們心裡這樣議論，就說：「你們心裡為甚麼這樣議論呢？
2:9 或對癱子說『你的罪赦了』，或說『起來！拿你的褥子行走』；哪一樣容易呢？
2:10 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說：
2:11 「我吩咐你，起來！拿你的褥子回家去吧。」
2:12 那人就起來，立刻拿著褥子，當眾人面前出去了，以致眾人都驚奇，歸榮耀與上帝，說：「我們從來沒有見過這樣的事！」
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking
to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s
blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what
they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking
these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But
I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat
and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full
view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have
never seen anything like this!”

文士在當時的猶太人中間是最認識聖經和誡命的，卻不認識主耶穌是基督；反而是一般的民眾，雖然不認識聖經和誡命，卻肯定主耶穌是基督。所以不能接受主耶穌說：「小子，你的罪赦了。」
還論斷主耶穌說：「這個人為甚麼這樣說呢？他說僭妄的話了。除了上帝以外，誰能赦罪呢？」
正如教會中有一些人自以為敬虔、明白聖經，一天到晚批評弟兄姊妹和牧師，認為別人都不明白真理，需要他們的指正與教導。要是別人說他們幾句，就說自己像先知有權說別人，別人無權批評他們！
因此，人不要高舉自己，要謙卑的遵主為大，並且尊重別的弟兄姊妹！因為尊重別的弟兄姊妹，就是敬畏主耶穌的表現。
