‏ Luke 5:20

Their faith ( την πιστιν αυτων ). In all three Gospels.

Man ( ανθρωπε ). Mark and Matthew have "child" or "Son" ( τεκνον ). Are forgiven ( αφεωντα ). This Doric form of the perfect passive indicative is for the Attic αφειντα. It appears also in Lu 5:23; 7:47, 48; Joh 20:23; 1Jo 2:12. Mr 2:6; Mt 9:2 have the present passive αφιεντα. Possibly this man's malady was due to his sin as is sometimes true (Joh 5:14). The man had faith along with that of the four, but he was still a paralytic when Jesus forgave his sins.
