Fr Emmanuel Mansford CFR: "He had hoped, maybe even half expected, to be healed because he'd heard about Jesus, he'd heard that he'd done this before, but not this. 'Your sins are forgiven.' My sins are forgiven? He must have thought. All of them? Gone, just like that? It was a scandal to everyone around. Never mind, they thought to themselves, if he heals him, but only God can forgive sins. But to prove that Jesus could forgive sins, he heals him and the man walks home, cleansed and healed, washed clean and set free, no longer paralysed physically or spiritually. The amazing scandal of God's mercy, so simple and straightforward, these words 'Your sins are forgiven', anticipating the power of the Cross, his blood shed for you and for me, washing our sins away when we come to him in repentance."
