Commentary on Matthew 9:2
The phrase 'they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed' shows faith in action—friends brought the paralyzed man to Jesus. Jesus' response 'Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee' addresses the spiritual need before the physical, showing sin is humanity's primary problem. The term 'Son' expresses compassion. 'Be of good cheer' (Greek: tharseō) means 'take courage'—the forgiveness announcement should give confidence.
