Mark 4:40

Context
4:40 And he said to them, “Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?”

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

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