Verse 21
The religious leaders were correct. Only God can forgive sins. However, they were unwilling to draw the conclusion that Jesus was God.
"Whenever Luke reports what someone is thinking, instruction from Jesus usually follows." [Note: Idem, Luke, p. 158.]
"Luke, incidentally, is rather fond of questions which begin with ’Who?’ and refer to Jesus (Luke 7:49; Luke 8:25; Luke 9:9; Luke 9:18; Luke 9:20; Luke 19:3)." [Note: Morris, p. 117.]
