Thus ¹  they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them.

“I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” ¹ 

They ran through that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever he was rumored to be. ¹ 

Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat ¹  and walk.”

They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat ¹  and walk’?” ² 

When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof ¹  above Jesus. ²  Then, ³  after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.

Which is easier, ¹  to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’?

Immediately the man was healed, ¹  and he picked up his mat ²  and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.) ³ 

So the Jewish leaders ¹  said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat.” ² 

But he answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat ¹  and walk.’”

And immediately the man ¹  stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
