'Pardon' in the Bible
But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
"Why does this man use such words?" they said; "he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He turned to the paralytic, and said,
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
But you disowned and denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for [the pardon of] a murderer to be granted to you.
For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except [for the fact] that I did not burden you [with my financial support]? Forgive me [for doing you] this injustice!
let the [latter] one know that the one who has turned a sinner from the error of his way will save that one’s soul from death and cover a multitude of sins [that is, obtain the pardon of the many sins committed by the one who has been restored].
