And he was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.

And not being able to come near to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralyzed man lay.

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands carefully, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.

And coming from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they bathe. And there are many other things that they have taken in to retain: washings of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and beds.)

And having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down, and they knew not what they should reply to him.

And they threw their hands on him, and seized him.
