But some of the scribes The scribes were experts in the Jewish Law, often associated with the Pharisees. They were responsible for copying, interpreting, and teaching the Scriptures.

The scribes were often skeptical of Jesus' teachings and actions, as they perceived Him as a threat to their authority and traditions. were sitting there and thinking in their hearts Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus- The central figure in the Gospel of Mark, performing miracles and teaching with authority. 2.

Paralytic Man - The individual whose healing by Jesus prompted the scribes' internal questioning. 5. House - The setting of this event, likely a private home in Capernaum where Jesus was teaching. Teaching Points Understanding the HeartJesus perceives the thoughts of the scribes, reminding us that God knows our innermost thoughts and intentions. We should strive for purity in our hearts and minds. Authority of Jesus The scribes question Jesus' authority, but as believers, we recognize His divine authority to forgive sins and transform lives. This should strengthen our faith and trust in Him. Skepticism vs. Faith The scribes' skepticism contrasts with the faith of those who brought the paralytic to Jesus. We are encouraged to approach Jesus with faith, believing in His power and authority. Role of Religious Leaders The scribes' role as religious leaders who doubt Jesus challenges us to examine our own leadership and influence. Are we leading others to Christ or away from Him? Internal Reflection Just as the scribes thought in their hearts, we must be mindful of our internal reflections and ensure they align with God's truth and love.(6) Certain of the scribes.--These are described by St. Luke (Luke 5:17) as "having come from every village of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem."Verses 6, 7. - The words, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? in accordance with the altered reading (βλασφημεῖ for βλασφημίας), should stand thus: Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth. It is evident that the scribes, who were secretly amongst themselves finding fault with our Lord's words, understood that, by the use of these words, our Lord was assuming to himself a Divine attribute. And if he had been a mere man; if he had not really been, as he assumed to be, Divine, the only begotten Son of the Father, - then no doubt they would have been right in supposing that he blasphemed. But their error was that they could not perceive in him the glory of the only begotten Son. The light was shining in the darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not. Parallel Commentaries ...
