Matthew 9:2
brought <4374> [they brought.]
saw <1492> [seeing.]
son <5043> [Son.]
Have courage ..... are forgiven <2293 863> [be.]
Ps 32:1,2 Ec 9:7 Isa 40:1,2 44:22 Jer 31:33,34 Lu 5:20 7:47-50
Ac 13:38,39 Ro 4:6-8 5:11 Col 1:12-14 [All]
Your sins <4675 266> [thy sins.]
Rather, "thy sins are forgiven thee;" the words being an affirmation, not a prayer or wish. The word be, however, was used by our translators in the indicative plural for are. As the palsy is frequently produced by intemperance, it is probable, from our Lord's gracious declaration, that it was the case in the present instance.
