Though the Sickness be Continued - Matthew Henry

 They presented the sick man to Christ, and he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee (Luke 5:20), that is the blessing thou art most to prize and seek; for if thy sins be forgiven thee, though the sickness be continued, it is in mercy; if they be not, though the sickness be removed, it is in wrath.
