When you go back and read about the fellow lowered down, and the man at Bethesda, they wanted to be healed of their maladies; Christ did so, but in such a way that proved His authority to forgive sins – He came back to the man at Bethesda and in 5:14 tells though he is well –not redeemed – stop sinning! (John 5:14)
He grants the repentance –
He grants the repentance –
