Mark 2:5

2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 5:34

5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”


sn The plural pronoun their makes it clear that Jesus was responding to the faith of the entire group, not just the paralyzed man.

sn The passive voice here is a divine passive (ExSyn 437). It is clear that God does the forgiving.

tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the woman’s healing.
