Lucas 5:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:20

And when he saw their faith
That is, Jesus, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it; when he saw the faith both of the paralytic man, and of the men that brought him, which was shown in the pains they took, and trouble they were at, in getting him to him;

he said unto him.
The Vulgate Latin only reads, "he said"; but the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions, still more fully express the sense, rendering it, "he said to the paralytic man"; and the Ethiopic version, "he said to the infirm man"; as follows:

man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
The other evangelists say, he said "son"; perhaps he used both words: however, all agree that he pronounced the forgiveness of sins, which were the cause of his disease; and which being removed, the effect must cease; so that he had healing both for soul and body; (See Gill on Matthew 9:2).

Lucas 5:20 In-Context

18 Vieram alguns homens trazendo um paralítico numa maca e tentaram fazê-lo entrar na casa, para colocá-lo diante de Jesus.

19 Não conseguindo fazer isso, por causa da multidão, subiram ao terraço e o baixaram em sua maca, através de uma abertura, até o meio da multidão, bem em frente de Jesus.

20 Vendo a fé que eles tinham, Jesus disse: “Homem, os seus pecados estão perdoados”.

21 Os fariseus e os mestres da lei começaram a pensar: “Quem é esse que blasfema? Quem pode perdoar pecados, a não ser somente Deus?”

22 Jesus, sabendo o que eles estavam pensando, perguntou: “Por que vocês estão pensando assim?
