Wesley's Notes for Matthew 9:4

9:2 Seeing their faith - Both that of the paralytic, and of them that brought him. Son - A title of tenderness and condescension. #Mark 2:3|; Luke 5:18.

9:3 This man blasphemeth - Attributing to himself a power (that of forgiving sins) which belongs to God only.

9:5 Which is easier - Do not both of them argue a Divine power? Therefore if I can heal his disease, I can forgive his sins: especially as his disease is the consequence of his sins. Therefore these must be taken away, if that is.

9:6 On earth - Even in my state of humiliation.
