Mark 2:5

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

Mark 2:11-12

2:11 “I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” 2:12 And immediately the man stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”


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 Grk “to your house.”

tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
