In the healing of the paralytic at Capernaum, Christ again taught the same truth. It was to manifest His power to forgive sins that the miracle was performed. And the healing of the paralytic also illustrates other precious truths. It is full of hope and encouragement, and from its connection with the caviling Pharisees it has a lesson of warning as well.

Ved helbredelsen af den lamme i Kapernaum forkyndte Kristus atter den samme sandhed. Det var for at åbenbare sin magt til at forlade synder, at han gjorde dette under. Og helbredelsen af den lamme er også et billede på andre dyrebare sandheder. Den er fuld af håb og opmuntring, og ved sin sammenhæng med farisæernes smålige kritik rummer den også en advarsel.
