Lexham English Bible
A Paralytic Healed
17 And it happened that on one of the days as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come[a] from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was there in order for him to heal. 18 And behold, men came carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and place him[b][c] before him. 19 And when they[d] did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and[e] let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst of them, in front of Jesus.

- Luke 5:17 Literally “were having come”
- Luke 5:18 Some manuscripts Some manuscripts include the pronoun “him” after “place”
- Luke 5:18 Since Greek routinely omits direct objects when they are clear from context, the pronoun is not necessary here in the Greek text, but it must be supplied in the English translation
- Luke 5:19 Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“find”) which is understood as temporal
- Luke 5:19 Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went up”) has been translated as a finite verb

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)
17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law(B) were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.(C) 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
