Daniel 7:13-14BSB

In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence. And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Isaiah 43:25BSB

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

Significance

Jesus' claim to forgive sins invokes divine prerogative. Only Yahweh forgives sins (Isa. 43:25), yet Jesus exercises this authority on earth using the enigmatic title "Son of Man." Daniel 7:13-14 presents the Son of Man receiving authority from the Ancient of Days. Mark shows Jesus wielding divine authority while still on earth, before his heavenly exaltation. The healing serves as visible proof of invisible forgiveness.
