Just my opinion, but my impression at the moment is that he was ready to completely change the rules.
"not to abolish the law but to fulfill the law..." What does that mean? Something like - the law was here to prepare us for the next step?
"Your sins are forgiven..." "Sin" meant lots of things. According to Leviticus, most of those things are along the lines of not tithing your rosemary.
He could not speak explicitly what he wanted to say. The gospel writers frequently remind us that he could not, because he would get killed if he did. That's why he spoke in parables.
(Spoiler alert: actually he does wind up getting killed, but I don't want to ruin the ending for anybody!
)
I suspect that if he could have spoken freely he would have said look, this is ridiculous. It's time for a change.
