This word is variously rendered forgiveness (Mark 3:29), deliverance (Luke 4:18), and liberty (Luke 4:19). It means a putting away, and hence full forgiveness, and must be distinguished from a word that only occurs in Rom. 3:25, translated remission which means “putting by,” not “putting away,” and is applied to the putting of the sins of the Old Testament believers on one side until the sacrifice of Christ should fully put them away.
