The Son of Man has authority to forgive sins (Mark 2aq)

Mark 1:40-2:17

Key verse 2:10,17

1.     [Mark 1:40-45] Who came to Jesus, what did he ask for and how did he ask (40)? Why was Jesus indignant (41a)? What did he do and say to this man (41b)? What happened to the leper then (42)? What warning did Jesus give him (43-44; cf. Leviticus 13:40-46)? What did this man do instead (Mark 1:45a)? What was the result of this (45b)?

2.     [2:1-5] When and where did Jesus go (1)? What was the present situation and what was Jesus doing (2)? How did some men bring a paralyzed man to Jesus (3-4)? What did Jesus see in them (5a)? What did he say to the paralyzed man (5b)?

3.     [6-12] Seeing this, what did some of the teachers of the law think? What did Jesus ask them (8-9)? What did he want them to know (10)? What did he command the paralyzed man to do (11)? What happened to this man (12a)? How did this prove that Jesus has the authority to forgive sins? What was the people’s response (12b)?

4.     [13-14] Where did Jesus go and what did he do there (13)? Who was Levi and what was he doing at that time (14)? How did Jesus call him and how did he respond (14)?

5.     [15-17] What was Jesus doing at Levi’s house and with whom was he associating (15)? Seeing this, what question did the teachers of the law ask Jesus’ disciples (16)? What was Jesus’ answer (17)? Who are the healthy and who are the sick?
