Markus 2:5
En Jezus die hun geloof zag, zei tegen de verlamde: "Zoon, je zonden zijn vergeven."
(a) Hun geloof zien. Jezus zag de daden die gepaard gingen met het geloof van degenen die de verlamde man droegen. De vier mannen riskeerden de woede van anderen door het dak van het huis te verwijderen. Ze deden dit omdat ze geloofden dat Jezus hun vriend kon helpen.
(b) Je zonden zijn vergeven. Jezus vergaf de verlamde man om ons te laten zien dat God ons vrijelijk vergeeft op grond van genade en zonder enige acht te slaan op ons gedrag (Ef. 1:7). Jezus stierf voor ons terwijl we zondaars waren, en hij vergaf ons terwijl we zondaars waren (Kol. 2:13). Voordat je je bekeerde, beleed of iets deed, droeg het Lam van God al je zonden weg - verleden, heden en toekomst. Zie je wel binnenkomst voor Lukas 23:34.
Mark 2:6
But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
Scribes; zie je wel binnenkomst for Matt. 5:20.
Markus 2:7
“Waarom praat deze man zo? Hij lastert; wie kan zonden vergeven dan God alleen?”
(a) Blaspheming. The original verb blasphēmeō means “to malign” (e.g., Tit. 3:2), “to abuse” (e.g., Mark 15:29), “to speak evil of” (e.g., Rom. 14:16), or “to slander” (e.g., Rom. 3:8). It is speaking falsely of someone in a way that injures their good name.
(b) zonden vergeven; zie je wel binnenkomst voor vergeving.
Mark 2:9
“Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?
Je zonden zijn vergeven; zie je wel binnenkomst for Mark 2:5.
Mark 2:10
“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic,
(a) The Son of Man; zie je wel binnenkomst for Matt. 8:20.
(b) zonden vergeven; zie je wel binnenkomst voor vergeving.
Mark 2:14
As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.
Levi the son of Alphaeus was probably Matthew the tax collector (Matt. 9:9).
Mark 2:15
And it happened that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following him.
Tax collectors and sinners. Tax collectors (like Levi) were revenue collectors for the hated Roman occupiers, while sinners were the irreligious and those considered unrighteous (Matt. 9:13). The word “sinner” in the Gospels, typically refers to someone who does not keep the law (John 7:49).
Mark 2:16
When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?”
(a) The scribes of the Pharisees. Some of the scribes (experts in the law) belonged to the party of the Pharisees. See binnenkomst for Matt. 5:20.
(b) Tax collectors and sinners; see previous verse.
Markus 2:17
Toen Jezus dit hoorde, zei hij tegen hen: ‘Niet de gezonde hebben een dokter nodig, maar de zieken; Ik ben niet gekomen om rechtvaardigen te roepen, maar zondaars.”
(a) de rechtvaardigen verwijst naar degenen die op hun eigen gerechtigheid vertrouwen (Lukas 18:9). Zelfingenomen religieuze mensen, met andere woorden.
(b) zondaars. If the original language did not lack punctuation marks, the word “sinners” would be in quotation marks. Religious people called them sinners; Jesus called them lost sheep (Matt. 10:6, 15:24).
Mark 2:23
And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.
(a) The Sabbath was the day of rest mandated in the Law of Moses (Ex. 31:14, Lev. 23:3). The Sabbath day began at sunset on Friday and ended on sunset on Saturday.
(b) Picking the heads of grain. The Pharisees claimed the disciples were breaking the law (see next verse).
Mark 2:24
The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
(a) Pharisees; zie je wel binnenkomst for Matt. 3:7.
(b) What is not lawful. It was a violation of the Law to do any work on the Sabbath (Lev. 23:3).
Mark 2:28
“So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
(a) The Son of Man; zie je wel binnenkomst for Matt. 8:20.
(b) Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a signpost that points to Jesus.
The Sabbath day of rest, which was enshrined in the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20:10) and repeated elsewhere in the Law of Moses (Ex. 31:14, Lev. 23:3), reflected the seventh day when God rested from his work of creation (Gen. 2:2–3). By saying he was Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus was essentially saying “I am the Creator who rested and who helps you to rest.” It was an astounding claim that would have shocked the Pharisees. The original Sabbath law, that some still strive to keep, was a mere shadow (Heb. 10:1). The substance or reality is found in Christ (Col. 2:17).
