And having seen their faith, Jesus says to the paralyzed man, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto men's children: and blasphemy, wherewith they blaspheme:

The number eating the loaves of bread was five thousand men. [Note: This was besides women and children. See Matt. 14:21].

The number [who ate] was about four thousand men [besides women and children. See Matt. 15:38]. Then Jesus sent them away.
