Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
All Commentaries on Mark 2:7 Go To Mark 2
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
In their ministry of the forgiveness of sin, pastors do not exercise the right of some independent power. For not in their own name but in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit do they forgive sins. They ask, the Godhead forgives. The service is enabled by humans, but the gift comes from the Power on high. .
