Matthew 9:7
Compare all
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
7 And he arose and departed to his house.
8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they amarveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.  

Matthew the Tax Collector

9 aAs Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.

Matthew 9:7

Matthew 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his own house. It may be regarded as an enacted parable of sin and redemption. The paralytic typifies the sinner, by his original helplessness (Isaiah 40:30 Joh 6:44 15:5); faith was demonstrated by his earnestness to come to Christ in spite of obstacles (Psalms 25:15 86:2,7); and the power of divine grace, in the ability to obey Christ's command, received in the very attempt to comply with it (Philippians 4:13).
