Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) They uncovered the roof . . . when they had broken it up.--The strong expressions of the injury done to the roof are peculiar to St. Mark. St. Luke gives, "through the tiles."They let down the bed.--St. Mark uses a different word from St. Matthew, the Greek form of the Latin word grabatus, the pallet or camp-bed used by the poor. The same word appears in John 5:8-10, and in Acts 5:15; Acts 9:33, but not at all in St. Matthew or St. Luke.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekSinceκαὶ (kai)ConjunctionStrong's 2532: And, even, also, namely. they were unableδυνάμενοι (dynamenoi)Verb - Present Participle Middle or Passive - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 1410: (a) I am powerful, have (the) power, (b) I am able, I can.
