Luke 5:18

18 et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem qui erat paralyticus et quaerebant eum inferre et ponere ante eum

Luke 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:18

And behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with
a palsy
Four men brought him, as Mark says, ( Mark 2:3 ) and which the Ethiopic version expresses here: "and they sought means to bring him in": into the house where Jesus was:

and to lay him before him;
at his feet, in hope of moving his compassion, and to obtain a cure of him: of the nature of this disease, and of the sort which this man's seems to be, (See Gill on Mark 2:3).

17 et factum est in una dierum et ipse sedebat docens et erant Pharisaei sedentes et legis doctores qui venerant ex omni castello Galilaeae et Iudaeae et Hierusalem et virtus erat Domini ad sanandum eos

18 et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem qui erat paralyticus et quaerebant eum inferre et ponere ante eum

19 et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent prae turba ascenderunt supra tectum per tegulas submiserunt illum cum lecto in medium ante Iesum
