   And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

   BSB: Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

   • Notecompared with BSB: The draft adds «to Jesus» as the object of bringing, which is implied in the Greek «αὐτῷ» but makes the referent explicit. This is a clarification rather than an error.
