And when he saw their faith, he said unto him,
Man, your sins are forgiven you.
All Commentaries on Luke 5:20 Go To Luke 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Great is the Lord, who pardons men on account of the merits of others. If you are diffident of the pardon of your grievous sins, have recourse to the Church. She will pray for you; and the Almighty, at her intercession, will grant you that pardon he might have denied to your prayers. (St. Ambrose, lib. v. in Luc.)
