Markus 1:30

1:30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, so ¹  they spoke to Jesus ²  at once about her.

Markus 2:4

2:4 When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof ³  above Jesus. ⁴  Then, ⁵  after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.

Lukas 5:25

5:25 Immediately ⁶  he stood up before them, picked ⁷  up the stretcher ⁸  he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying ⁹  God.

Kisah Para Rasul 9:33

9:33 He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years because ¹⁰  he was paralyzed.

[1:30]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[1:30]  ² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:4]  ³ sn A house in 1st century Palestine would have had a flat roof with stairs or a ladder going up. This access was often from the outside of the house.

[2:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[5:25]  ⁶ tn Grk “And immediately.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “and picked up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because contemporary English normally places a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series.

[5:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “picked up what he had been lying on”; the referent of the relative pronoun (the stretcher) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:25]  ⁹ sn Note the man’s response, glorifying God. Joy at God’s work is also a key theme in Luke: 2:20; 4:15; 5:26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 18:43; 23:47.

[9:33]  ¹⁰ tn Since the participle κατακείμενον (katakeimenon), an adjectival participle modifying Αἰνέαν (Ainean), has been translated into English as a relative clause (“who had been confined to a mattress”), it would be awkward to follow with a second relative clause (Grk “who was paralyzed”). Furthermore, the relative pronoun here has virtually a causal force, giving the reason for confinement to the mattress, so it is best translated “because.”
