And immediately the man stood up before them
This phrase highlights the miraculous nature of Jesus' healing power. The immediacy of the man's response underscores the authority of Jesus over physical ailments, a theme consistent throughout the Gospels. The act of standing up "before them" indicates a public demonstration of Jesus' divine authority, serving as a testament to the onlookers, including the Pharisees and teachers of the law present (Luke 5:17). This public miracle would have been a powerful witness to the Jewish audience, who were familiar with Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's healing powers (Isaiah 35:5-6).

took what he had been lying on
The act of taking up his mat signifies a complete and immediate healing, not just a temporary or partial recovery. In the cultural context, the mat or bed was a simple pallet, often used by the poor or sick. By carrying it, the man demonstrates his newfound strength and freedom from paralysis. This action also serves as a physical testimony to the miracle, as the mat was a symbol of his previous condition. The act of carrying the mat can be seen as a parallel to Jesus' command to "take up your cross" (Matthew 16:24), symbolizing a new life and mission.

and went home glorifying God
The man's response of glorifying God reflects the appropriate reaction to divine intervention. In Jewish culture, giving glory to God was a way of acknowledging His sovereignty and goodness. This phrase connects to other instances in the Gospels where healed individuals praise God, such as the Samaritan leper in Luke 17:15-16. The act of going home suggests a return to normal life, but with a transformed perspective. It also fulfills the social and religious expectation of sharing God's works with one's community, as seen in Psalm 66:16. The glorification of God here prefigures the ultimate glorification of God through Jesus' resurrection and the spread of the Gospel.
