Luke 5:24

the Son of man Ben-Adamhas a generalsense of any human being (Job 25:6, &c.); in a specialsense in the O. T. it is nearly 90 times applied to Ezekiel, though neverused by himself ofhimself. In the N. T. it is 80 times used by Christ, but always byHimself, except in passages which imply His exaltation (Acts 7:56; Revelation 1:13-20). The Title, as distinctively Messianic, is derived from Daniel 7:13, and is there Bar-Enôsh, a word descriptive of man in his humiliation. The inference seems to be that Christ used it to indicate the truth that "God highly exalted Him" because of his self-humiliation in taking our flesh (Philippians 2:5-11).

hath power upon earth to forgive sins and therefore of course, a fortiori, hath power in heaven.

I say unto thee Rather, to keep the emphatic order, To thee I say.
