| Σύνοψη: | This article examines the story of Luke 5:17–26, in which Jesus raised a paralyzed man to walk. Jesus failed to cure the paralyzed man when he initially declared forgiveness of sins; however, he subsequently treated him with orders to stand up and walk. This proves that Jesus rejected the commonly accepted view of the time that the sick are sinners. In addition, this proves that the paralyzed man was healed not because he was a sinner, but because Jesus had the ability to heal. In this way, Jesus the governed is mocking the rulers by imitating their ideology in a mocking way. |
