The religious leaders were so offended because they recognized that 'no-one can forgive sins except God only.' They thus rightly recognized Jesus' claim to be God in His forgiving the sins of the man, as all sin is ultimately against God, and only God has the right to forgive it.

How are the religious leaders presented in Matthew compared to Mark?

In the Gospel of Matthew, religious leaders are often portrayed as hypocritical and adversarial toward Jesus, highlighting their legalism and lack of spiritual insight. Matthew emphasizes their role in plotting against Jesus and their failure to recognize him as the Messiah. In contrast, Mark presents religious leaders with a more nuanced view, showcasing their skepticism and the tension between them and Jesus, but also allowing for moments of genuine questioning.
