And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.

When he saw their faith, Jesus said, "Friend, your sins have been forgiven you."

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.
