Exegesis
It presents two parallel aorist infinitives eipein {εἰπεῖν | ei-peín} ‘to say’, the first governing the dative indirect object tō paralytikō {τῷ παραλυτικῷ | tō pa-ra-ly-ti-kṓ} ‘to the paralytic’ and introducing aphientai sou hai hamartiai {Ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι | a-phí-en-tai sou hai ha-mar-tí-ai} ‘Your sins are forgiven’, where the present passive implies divine agency.
Root and etymology
Rootiota–eta–sigma–omicron–upsilon–sigma
“Yahweh is salvation”
In context — Mark 2:9
Which is easier to say to the paralytic, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Rise, take up your mat and walk”?
