Mark 2 records the healing of the paralytic man who was lowered through the roof tiles! Here we see Jesus saying "your sins are forgiven" instead of you are healed. Here we see Jesus seeing into everyone's hearts. He understands what the paralytic man needed and he also saw into the hearts of the people and what they were thinking. Here Jesus reveals some Authority where in Matthew it seemed Jesus was concealing Authority. Mark puts a much larger emphasis on Jesus Authority here, perhaps because he is writing to the Gentile Christians??
Verses 17 we see Jesus emphasis on coming to help the sinners...
As Jesus is challenged he turns the challenge back and interprets the heart of the laws. Here we see him do that with the Sabbath.
