Son . The Jews believed that not only death but all disease was the consequence of sin. "There is no death without sin , nor any chastisement without iniquity;" and that "no diseased person could be healed of his disease till his sins were blotted out." Our Lord , therefore , as usual , appeals to their received opinions , and asserts his high dignity , by first forgiving the sins , and then healing the body of the paralytic.

Abiathar . It appears from the passage referred to here , that Ahimelech was then high priest at Nob; and from other passages , that Abiathar was his son. Various conjectures have been formed in order to solve this difficulty; and some , instead of untying , have cut the knot , by pronouncing it an interpolation. The most probable opinion seems to be , that both father and son had two names , the father being also called Abiathar; and this appears almost certain from 2 Samuel 8 . 17 , 1 Chronicles 18 . 16 , where Ahimelech seems evidently termed Abiathar , while Abiathar is called Ahimelech or Abimelech. .
