The Jews believed that not only death but all disease was the consequence of sin. There is no death without sin, nor any chastisement without iniquity; and that no diseased person could be healed of his disease till his sins were blotted out. Our Lord, therefore, as usual, appeals to their received opinions, and asserts his high dignity, by first forgiving the sins, and then healing the body of the paralytic. # mar 5:34 mat 9:22 lu 8:48 * sins # job 33:17-26 ps 32:1-5 90:7-9 103:3 is 38:17 jno 5:14 # 1co 11:30 ja 5:15 * reasoning # mar 8:17 mat 16:7,8 lu 5:21:22 2co 10:5 * speak # mar 14:64 mat 9:3 26:65 jno 10:33,36 * who # job 14:4 ps 130:4 is 43:25 da 9:9 mi 7:18 lu 5:21 7:49 # jno 20:20-23 * when # 1ch 29:17 mat 9:4 lu 5:22 6:8 7:39,40 jno 2: 24,25 6:64 21:17 # he 4:13 ro 2:23 * why # mar 7:21 ps 139:2 pr 15:26 24:9 is 55:7 eze 38:10 lu 24:38 # ac 5:3 8:22 * is it # mat 9:5 lu 5:22-25 * thy sins # mar 2:5 # da 7:13,14 mat 9:6-8 16:13 jno 5:20-27 ac 5:31 1ti 1:13-16 # mar 1:41 jno 5:8-10 6:63 * insomuch # mar 1:27 mat 9:8 12:23 lu 7:16 * glorified # mat 15:31 lu 5:26 13:13 17:15 ac 4:21 * we never # mat 9:33 jno 7:31 9:32 * by # mat 9:9 13:1 * and all # mar 2:2 3:7 8:20,21 4:1 pr 1:20-22 lu 19:48 21:38 * he saw # mar 3:18 mat 9:9 lu 5:27 * Alpheus # mar 3:18 lu 6:15 ac 1:13 * receipt of custom. or, place where the custom was received. * follow me # mar 1:17-20 mat 4:19-22 # mat 9:10,11 21:31,32 lu 5:29,30 6:17 15:1 * how # mar 2:7 is 65:5 lu 15:2 18:11 19:7,10 1co 2: 15 he 12:3 * publicans # mat 18:17 * they that are whole # mat 9:12,13 lu 5:31,32 15:7, 29 16:15 jno 9:34,40 * I came # is 1:18 55:7 mat 18:11 lu 15:10 19:10 ac 20:21 26:20 # ro 5:6-8,20,21 1co 6:9-11 1ti 1:15,16 tit 2:14 3:3-7 * the disciples # mat 9:14-17 lu 5:33-39 * why # mat 6:16,18 23:5 lu 18:12 ro 10:3 * can # ge 29:22 ju 14:10,11 ps 45:14 ca 6:8 mat 25: 1-10 * the bridegroom # ps 45:11 ca 3:11 is 54:5 62:5 jno 3:29 2co 11:2 re 19:7 21:9 * be taken # zec 13:7 mat 26:31 jno 7: 33,34 12:8 13:33 16:7,28 17:11,13 # ac 1:9 3:21 * and # ac 13:2, 3 14:28 1co 7:5 2co 6:5 11:27 * seweth # ps 103:13-15 is 57:16 1co 10:13 * new, or, raw, or, unwrought # mat 9:16 * bottles # jos 9:4,13 job 32:19 ps 119:80,83 mat 9: 17 lu 5:37,38 * that # mat 12:1-8 lu 6:1-5 * to pluck # de 23:24,25 * why # mar 2:7,16 mat 7:3-5 15:2,3 23:23,24 he 12:3 * that # ex 20:10 31:15 35:2,3 nu 15:32-36 ne 13:15-22 is 56:2,4, 6 # 58:13 je 17:20-27 * have # mar 12:20,26 mat 19:4 21:16,42 22:31 lu 10: 26 * what # 1sa 21:3-6 * Abiathar. It appears from the passage referred to here, that Ahimelech was then high priest at Nob; and from other passages, that Abiathar was his son. Various conjectures have been formed in order to solve this difficulty; and some, instead of untying, have cut the knot, by pronouncing it an interpolation. The most probable opinion seems to be, that both father and son had two names, the father being also called Abiathar; and this appears almost certain from 2sa 8:17 1ch 18: 16, where Ahimelech seems evidently termed Abiathar, while Abiathar is called Ahimelech or Abimelech. # 1ki 2:26,27 2sa 22: 20-22 23:6,9 2sa 8:17 15:24,29,35 20:25 # 1ki 1:7 2:22,26,27 4:4 * which is not lawful # ex 29:32,33 le 24:5-9 # ex 23:12 de 5:14 ne 9:13,14 is 58:13 eze 20:12,20 lu 6:9 # jno 7:23 1co 3:21,22 2co 4:15 col 2:16 # mar 3:4 mat 12:8 lu 6:5 13:15,16 jno 5:9-11,17 9:5- 11,14,16 # ep 1:22 re 1:10  ~~~~~~
