Mark 2:3

Context
2:3 Some people 1  came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 2 

Mark 2:5

Context
2:5 When Jesus saw their 3  faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 4 

1 tn Grk “they”; the referent (some unnamed people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn The redundancy in this verse is characteristic of the author’s rougher style.

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

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