‏ Matthew 9:2

 They brought ( προσεφερον ). Imperfect, "were bringing," graphic picture made very vivid by the details in Mr 2:1-4 and Lu 5:17. " Lying on a bed" (stretched on a couch), perfect passive participle, a little bed or couch ( κλινιδιον ) in Lu 5:19, "a pallet" ( κραβατος ) in Mr 2:4, 9, 11.

 Thy sins are forgiven ( αφιεντα ). Present passive indicative (aoristic present). Luke (Lu 5:21) has  αφεωντα, Doric and Ionic perfect passive indicative for the Attic  αφειντα, one of the dialectical forms appearing in the Koine.
