# Those reclining together "The people who were reclining together around the table" or "The people who were at the table" # Who is this that even forgives sins? The religious leaders knew that only God could forgive sins, but they did not believe that Jesus was God. This question was probably an accusation. Alternate translation: "Who is this man who claims to forgive sins?” or “This man says that he forgives sins. Who does he think he is?”
