Context of Matthew 9:1
And Jesus, getting into a boat, crossed over the Sea of Galilee and came to [Capernaum] His own city. 2They brought to Him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a stretcher. Seeing their [active] faith [springing from confidence in Him], Jesus said to the paralytic, “Do not be afraid, son; your sins are forgiven [the penalty is paid, the guilt removed, and you are declared to be in right standing with God].” 3And some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes [by claiming the rights and prerogatives of God]!”
