Those who were at the table with Him began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?”

But some of the scribes were sitting there, thinking to themselves:

Blasphemies

Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.

Then seat two wicked men opposite him and have them testify against him, saying, “You have cursed God and the king!” Then take him out and stone him to death.

At this, some of the scribes said among themselves, “He’s blaspheming!”

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Look, now you’ve heard the blasphemy!

“We aren’t stoning You for a good work,” the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because You—being a man—make Yourself God.”

Then they persuaded some men to say, “We heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God!”

Who can

Then the Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed:

Yahweh—Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth,

Then I acknowledged my sin to You
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said,
“I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and You took away the guilt of my sin.Selah

Let them be like chaff in the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them away.

He forgives all your sin;
He heals all your diseases.

But with You there is forgiveness,
so that You may be revered.

“Come, let us discuss this,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they will be as white as snow;
though they are as red as crimson,
they will be like wool.

“It is I who sweep away your transgressions
for My own sake
and remember your sins no more.

I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,
and your sins like a mist.
Return to Me,
for I have redeemed you.

Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God, though we have rebelled against Him

He will again have compassion on us;
He will vanquish our iniquities.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.

Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?
God is the One who justifies.
