The Key Word — παραλύω, paraluōgenerated
The word παραλελυμένος is a perfect passive participle of παραλύω, meaning 'to paralyze.' It indicates a state of having been paralyzed, emphasizing the man's condition as a result of an action that has been completed.
The passive form suggests that the man is not acting but is instead the recipient of an action, highlighting his helplessness and the need for assistance from others to reach Jesus.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, the verse is primarily read in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the term paralyzed. Other translations, like the Young's Literal Translation and Legacy Standard Bible, use struck with palsy, which reflects a more literal translation of the Greek term.
The translations agree on the overall meaning of the verse, though they differ in the choice of words to describe the man's condition and the actions of those bringing him to Jesus.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἰδοὺ, behold, which introduces the action of the men. This is followed by a noun phrase describing the men and a participial phrase detailing their action of carrying the paralyzed man.
The structure includes multiple clauses, with the primary action being the attempt to bring the man before Jesus, emphasizing the urgency and determination of the men involved.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
παραλελυμένος does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but the concept of paralysis and healing is present in various forms throughout the text, often associated with God's power to restore health.
The use of ἄνθρωπος in this context aligns with the Hebrew term for 'man,' which appears frequently in the Old Testament, emphasizing the humanity and need for divine intervention.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus : et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Read the full entry →ἰδού. Moulton (Pro/eg. p. 11) has shown that the frequency with which ἰδού (originally the imper. of εἰδόμην and accented ἰδοῦ) is used by certain NT writers is due to the fact that they were accustomed to the constant use of an equivalent interjection in their own tongue: cf. Wellhausen £ini.* p. 22. As showing, however, that the interjection was used in the Kou where no Hebraistic influence is predicable, we may cite P Oxy VII. 10665 (iii/A.p.) εἰδ[ο]ὺ οὖν ἀπέστιλά σοι αὐτήν, with reference to the return of a file, 76. 10691 (very illiterate—iii/a.p.) εἰδοὺ γὰρ kal τὸ πορφύρειν μετὰ τῶν συ[ν]έργων κεῖντε, “see, the purple is put with the tools” (cf. 1.5), 74.

ἀνήρ (anēr) means 'man' in various contexts, distinguishing adult males from women and children. It can refer to a husband or a male person in general, and is often used in conjunction with other nouns or adjectives. The New Testament employs it similarly, as seen in verses like Matthew 1:16 and 1 Corinthians 13:11. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

(ἀντρός) may still be found beside the ‘‘regular” τοῦ ἄντρα (Thumb Handbook, p. 48). Naturally there is nothing particular to record in the uses of this everyday word, which has in NT and Hellenistic generally much the same range as in class. Gk. Thus, taking the index to BGU IV., we can illustrate many of the uses noted for the NT in Grimm from documents of the Augustan period. So (1) husband by the perpetual phrase μετὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἀνδρός after the name of a woman, as 1126* (where ἀνδρός is written over an erased ὁμομητρίου ἀδελφοῦ), or in a marriage contract as τορϑ τηρεῖν τὰ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρᾳ καὶ τὸν κοινὸν βίον δίκαια, while the document will also use ἀνήρ for irregular relations in the pledge μηδ᾽ ἄλλωι ἀνδρὶ συνεῖναι.

φέρω (phero) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to bear, carry, or bring. It can imply physical carrying, enduring, or producing something, and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Luke 23:26 and Hebrews 1:3. The word is built from roots suggesting motion and can also convey metaphorical meanings, like being influenced or prompted. Notably, lexicons differ on the nuances of its use in specific contexts.
On the distinction between these words Lobeck (Phrynichus, p. 585) has the following remarks: ‘ Inter φέρω et φορέω hoc interesse constat, quod iilud actionem simplicem et transitoriam, hoc autem actionis ejusdem continuationem significat ; verbi caus ἀγγελίην φέρειν, est alicujus rei nuncium afferre, Herod. iii. 53 et 122; v.143 ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ili. 34, nuncii munere apud aliquem fungi. Hine et φορεῖν dicimur ea que nobiscum circumferimus, quibus amicti indutique sumus, ut ἱμάτιον, τριβώνιον, δακτύλιον φορεῖν, tum que ad habitum corporis pertinent.’ He proceeds, however, to acknowledge that this distinction is by no means constantly observed even by the best Greek authors. It is, therefore, the more noticeable, as an example of that accuracy which so often takes us by surprise in the use of words by the writers of the N. T., that they are always true to this rule.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

κλίνη is a feminine noun meaning a bed or couch, derived from κλίνω. It can refer to a place for sleeping, sitting, or eating, and is also used for a bier. The New Testament uses it in contexts involving healing and meals, notably in Matthew 9:2 and Mark 4:21. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (i.e., *anthropos*) means 'man' or 'human being,' encompassing both males and females. It is derived from roots meaning 'man-faced' and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as to distinguish humans from God and animals. The term can imply human frailty and is often used in phrases that reflect human nature or condition.

Read the full entry →ἄνθρωπος, like ἀνήρ, has kept its differentia practically unchanged from Homer to MGr. It is interesting to notice its philosophical abstract ἀνθρωπότης vouched for as fairly popular Greek by Vettius Valens (p. 346%, in antith. to ἀθανασία), passing into Christian theology (see LS and Sophocles Zex.), and current in MGr. The NT has no trace of the curious misuse by which the principal difference between a. and ἀνήρ is ignored: Tob 65 ἀνθρώπου ἢ γυναικός.

Another case of ἄνθρωπος invading the sphere of ἀνήρ is the Matthzean locution ἄ, οἰκοδεσπότης, βασιλεύς, φαγός etc. though not Attic: Mt may have got it from LXX (so Lev 21° ἀνθρώπου ἱερέως). Some papyrus passages may be cited, though little is needed. The…

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent.

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

παραλύω is built from the prefix παρά meaning 'beside' and the root λύω meaning 'to loosen' or 'to release.' It covers meanings such as to set free, to weaken, or to enfeeble, particularly in a medical context, as seen in passages like Luke 5:18 and Hebrews 12:12. The lexicons note that it can imply both a physical and metaphorical loosening or weakening.
παραλύω. For the literal sense ‘‘loose,”’ ‘‘set free,’ cf. PSI IV. 435° (B.C. 258-7) (as restored by Deissmann, Z 04, p. 121) ἐμοῦ δὲ πία]ρ[ακαλέσαντος τὸν θεὸν Σάραπιν, ὅπως ἄμ με παραλύσηι τοῦ ἐνταῦθα [ἔργο]υ, Sy// 226 (= *495)17 (c. B.C. 230) ἐξ ὧν ἀπέλυσε μὲν τὴμ πόλιν ὀφειλημάτων, παρέλυσε δὲ τόκων. The subst. παράλυσις occurs in Artem. p. 26314.
παραλύω (paraluō) — to paralyze.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word εἰσφέρω (*eisphero*) is built from the components meaning 'in' and 'to carry.' It covers a range of meanings including to bring in, lead into, and contribute. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like bringing in suffering (Hebrews 13:11) and leading into temptation (Matthew 6:13). Mounce notes its use for announcing or introducing something, as seen in Acts 17:20.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

τίθημι (tithēmi) means to place, lay, or set, covering a wide range of applications both literally and figuratively. It can refer to actions like laying down one's life or placing something in a specific location. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as laying down garments (John 13:4) and establishing laws (Matthew 22:44). The lexicons provide various nuances, but there is no significant disagreement among them.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25.

The Greek word ἐνώπιον (i.e., *enopion*) means 'before' or 'in the presence of.' It is derived from a combination of prepositions and a term meaning 'face.' This word is often used in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Luke and Revelation, to indicate being in the sight of someone, especially God, as seen in verses like Romans 14:22 and Revelation 1:4.

To Deissmann's proof (BS p. 213) that this word belongs to the vernacular, and is not to be treated as a new formation of ‘* biblical” Greek, much additional evidence can now be added from iii/B.c. onwards. The earliest ex. of the word known to us, P Hib J. 3055 (before B.c. 271), is unfortunately followed by a lacuna—y δίκη σου ἀναγραφήσετ[α]ι ἐν [τῶι ἐν Ἡρ]ακλέους πόλει δικαστηρίωι [ἐ]νῴπιον [. .. ., **the case will be drawn up against you in the court at Heracleopolis in the presence of . . .” (Edd.).
