brought. carrying.

in. upon. Greek. epi. App-104.

bed. couch. Greek. kline; not the poor man's bed, krabbaton. John 5:10.

taken with. palsy. paralysed. Greek. paraluomai. Not the same word as in Luke 4:38.

Luke always uses the Verb, not the Adjective (contrast Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:6; Mark 2:3-10). Compare Acts 8:7. Strictly medical usage. Compare Colossians 4:14.
