Context of Mark 2:6

4When they couldn’t get near Yeshua because of the crowd, they removed the roof where He was. After digging through, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. 5Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the Torah scholars were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7“Why does this fellow speak like this? He blasphemes! Who can pardon sins but God alone?” 8Immediately Yeshua, knowing in His spirit that they were raising questions this way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you questioning these things in your hearts?
