Mark 2:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 2:12

10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has¹ power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic,

11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and ^aglorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

Matthew the Tax Collector

13 ^aThen He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.

14 ^aAs He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, ^b“Follow Me.” So he arose and ^cfollowed Him.

15 ^aNow it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.
