Jesus forgave the sins of the paralytic bec. He wants Him to be cleansed fisrt from his previous sins, make him acceptable to recieve mercy from the Father God, eventually he was healed by his faith that Jesus will heal his infirmities.

The lessson we learned from here is that, when we really want to be healed and come to God. We must ask for forgiveness from our sins, from our inperpections, and we should repent and accept that we are sinners, and in need of GOD forgiveness and mercy. When we get near to God, we must humble ourselves and we should be holy and acceptable to him. AMEN
