Son; a title of condescension and kindness.

Thy sins be forgiven thee; here, as everywhere in the holy Scriptures, disease is regarded as a fruit of sin. The forgiveness of the man's sins by the Saviour is a pledge that in due time his disease shall also be healed. Some think that this had been produced by special sinful indulgence. When men feel their need of Christ, and have living faith in him, they will let nothing hinder their application to him for help.
