Commentary on Matthew 9:6
Jesus' statement 'But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins' makes the healing evidential—proving His divine authority. The title 'Son of man' (from Daniel 7:13-14) claims messianic identity. Only God can forgive sins, so Jesus demonstrates deity by healing the paralytic—the visible miracle authenticates the invisible spiritual reality. The command 'Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house' is immediate and complete healing.
