When they could not get near to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had dug through it, they lowered the mat that the paralyzed man was lying on.
When they couldn’t find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up to the roof and lowered him on his cot through the tiles into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus.
The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics. And he healed them.
