Why did Jesus heal the paralyzed man?

Answer 1

A:Commencing in John 5:2, we have the story of the five-sided pool at the sheep markets, where an angel would disturb the waters so that the first person to enter would be cured. A certain man, paralysed for 38 years had waited for the chance to be first, but others always beat him into the water. Archaeologists have found and identified the pool, which was part of an Asclepium, or temple to the Greek god of healing, Asclepius. It was not an angel who disturbed the waters, as stated in the gospel, but Asclepius himself. When Jesus cured the man, it showed that Jesus was able to perform the same healing miracles as was the god Asclepius. No doubt wavering potential converts would have found strength in this knowledge.

Mark 2:1-12

New International Version (NIV)

2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the man, 11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
