Context of Mark 2:12

10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” – he said to the paralytic – 11“I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” And immediately the man stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” 13Jesus went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them. 14As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth. “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him.

Commentaries on Mark 2:12

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12He - took up the bed - The words of Prosper, on this place, are worthy of notice: - "What is sin but a deplorable fall, a grovelling on the earth, a repose in the creature, often followed by a universal palsy of the soul; namely, an utter inability to help itself, to break off its evil habits, to walk in the ways of God, to rise or to take one good step towards him?
