Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying ill with fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.

Being, however, unable to get him near to Jesus, owing to the crowd, they removed the roofing below which Jesus was; and, when they had made an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

They began to laugh at him; but he sent them all out, and then, with the child's father and mother and his companions, went into the room where she was lying.

The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
