And when they could not come near him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed in which the one sick with paralysis lay.
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with devils, and those who were insane, and those who were paralytics; and he healed them.
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his bed into the midst before Jesus.
