Greek Commentary for Matthew 9:6
Jesus accepts the challenge in the thoughts of the scribes and performs the miracle of healing the paralytic, who so far only had his sins forgiven, to prove his Messianic power on earth to forgive sins even as God does. The word εχουσια exousia may mean either power or authority. He had both as a matter of fact. Note same word in Matthew 9:8. [source]
These words of course, were not spoken by Jesus. Curiously enough Matthew interjects them right in the midst of the sayings of Jesus in reply to the scorn of the scribes. Still more remarkable is the fact that Mark (Mark 2:10) has precisely the same words in the same place save that Matthew has added τοτε tote of which he is fond, to what Mark already had. Mark, as we know, largely reports Peter‘s words and sees with Peter‘s eyes. Luke has the same idea in the same place without the vivid historical present λεγει ̔ειπεν τωι παραλελυμενωἰ legei ‛eipen tōi paralelumenōi' with the participle in place of the adjective. This is one of the many proofs that both Matthew and Luke made use of Mark‘s Gospel each in his own way.Take up thy bed (αρον σου την κλινην āron sou tēn klinēn). Pack up at once (aorist active imperative) the rolled-up pallet. [source]

This remarkable parenthesis in the middle of the sentence occurs also in Matthew 9:6 and Luke 5:24, proof that both Matthew and Luke followed Mark‘s narrative. It is inconceivable that all three writers should independently have injected the same parenthesis at the same place. [source]
This same parenthesis right in the midst of the words of Jesus is in Mark 2:11; Matthew 9:6, conclusive proof of interrelation between these documents. The words of Jesus are quoted practically alike in all three Gospels, the same purpose also ινα ειδητε hina eidēte (second perfect active subjunctive). [source]
