Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παραλύω (paralyō), meaning "to loosen" or "to disable."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραλυτικός, the concept of physical infirmity and healing is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. Terms related to sickness or weakness, such as חָלָה (chalah, Strong's Hebrew 2470) meaning "to be sick" or "to be weak," may be considered in a broader sense when discussing themes of healing and restoration in the Bible. Usage: The word παραλυτικός is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are afflicted with paralysis. It appears in contexts where Jesus performs healing miracles, demonstrating His divine authority and compassion. Context: The term παραλυτικός is prominently featured in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, where it is used to describe individuals who are healed by Jesus. This condition of paralysis is often depicted as a severe physical ailment that leaves individuals dependent on others for mobility and care.
In the Gospel of Matthew, we encounter the story of a paralytic brought to Jesus on a mat. Jesus, seeing the faith of those who brought the paralytic, declares, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven" (Matthew 9:2, BSB). This account highlights not only the physical healing but also the spiritual restoration that Jesus offers.
Similarly, in the Gospel of Mark, a paralytic is lowered through the roof by his friends to reach Jesus. Jesus responds by forgiving the man's sins and commanding him to "get up, pick up your mat, and go home" (Mark 2:11, BSB). This narrative underscores the authority of Jesus to forgive sins and His power to heal.
The Gospel of Luke also recounts the healing of a paralytic, emphasizing the faith of those who brought him to Jesus and the amazement of the onlookers as they witnessed the miracle (Luke 5:18-26, BSB).
These accounts collectively illustrate the transformative power of Jesus' ministry, where physical healing serves as a sign of the greater spiritual healing and redemption He offers. The condition of paralysis, as depicted in these narratives, serves as a metaphor for spiritual helplessness, which can only be remedied through faith in Christ.
