Context of Mark 2:6

4They could not reach Jesus because of the crowd. So they made a hole in the roof above the place where Jesus was. They helped the man to go down through the hole. He was still lying on his mat. 5Jesus saw the man and his friends. He knew that they believed in him. So he said to the man who could not walk, ‘My friend, I forgive you for your sins.’ But some teachers of God's Law were sitting there. They thought about the words that Jesus had spoken to the man. 7They thought, ‘This man Jesus should not have said that. He is speaking as if he is God. Only God can forgive people for their sins.’ 8Immediately, Jesus knew in his spirit what the teachers were thinking. He said to them, ‘You should not think these things.
