“And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone? — the internal reaction of the scribes and Pharisees who have come to observe and evaluate: who speaks blasphemy, who can forgive sins but God alone? The logic is correct: only God can forgive sins. The error is the unstated premise that Jesus is merely a man.
