JMNT(i)
5 And Jesus, seeing their trust and faith, proceeds to say to the paralytic, "Dear child, your failures (mistakes; deviations; errors; mis-shots toward the target; sins) are now being caused to abandon you (are in process of being divorced from you; are progressively being let go off from you; are habitually being forgiven; [other MSS read perfect tense: have been caused to abandon you; have been divorced from you; have been released and let go off from you; have been forgiven for you])."
6 Now there were some of the scribes (or: certain men from the [group of] experts in the Law; = ordained theologians and scholars) presently continuing to be sitting there, and they progressively reasoned to conclusions, thoroughly and critically deliberating and dialoguing in their hearts,
7 "Why does this fellow continue to speak in this way (thus; in this manner)? He continues blaspheming (speaking slander; speaking insultingly [in regard to God])! Who is able (now has power) to release and send away (dismiss; forgive) failures (sins; errors; mistakes in trying to hit the target), except One: God?"
8 And at once, Jesus, immediately experiencing full knowledge and added awareness in His spirit (or: by the Spirit, which is Him; with His attitude) that they are continuing to reason, deliberate and dialogue within themselves in this way (to this conclusion) then says to them, "Why are you men continuing to reason critically and to thoroughly dialogue about these things within your hearts?
9 "Which [of the two] is easier labor: to say to the paralytic, 'Your failures (mistakes; sins; errors; mis-shots; deviations) are now being cause to progressively abandon you (are being in process of being divorced from you; are habitually forgiven for you; [other MSS: have been divorced and sent away so as to abandon you and you now exist being forgiven]),' or to say, 'Get up (Progressively raise yourself up) and at once lift up and carry away your matted pallet, and start continually walking around'?
10 "Yet so that you men can see and thus know with understanding that the Son of Man (or: mankind's adult son; or: the Son who is human; or: = a human being) continuously holds authority (or: from out of his being possesses [the] right) to repeatedly send away (to habitually release and dismiss; to constantly forgive) mistakes (failures to hit the target; errors; sins) upon the earth," – He then says to the paralytic,
11 "I am saying to you, Get up (Progressively rise up) at once [then] lift up and carry away your matted pallet and be going away into your house (or: home)."
