Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, so they spoke to Jesus at once about her.

A great number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways.

Immediately he stood up before them, picked up the stretcher he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God.

When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus. Then, after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.
