Greek Commentary for Luke 5:18
Periphrastic past perfect passive where Mark 2:3; Matthew 9:2 have παραλυτικον paralutikon (our paralytic). Luke‘s phrase is the technical medical term (Hippocrates, Galen, etc.) rather than Mark‘s vernacular word (Ramsay, Luke the Physician, pp. 57f.). [source]
Conative imperfect. [source]
Rev., more neatly, palsied. Whenever Luke mentions this disease, he uses the verb and not the adjective παραλυτικός paralytic (as Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:6; Mark 2:3-10; compare Acts 8:7; Acts 9:33); his usage in this respect being in strict accord with that of medical writers. [source]

Fine illustration of Mark‘s vivid dramatic historical present preserved by Luke 5:18, but not by Matthew 9:2 (imperfect). [source]
Luke uses four words for the beds o£ the sick: κλίνη , as Luke 5:18, the general word for a bed or couch; κράββατος , (Acts 5:15; Acts 9:33), a rude pallet (see on Mark 2:4); κλινίδιον , a small couch or litter, as here, a couch so light that a woman could lift and carry it away. Thus, in the “Lysistrata” of Aristophanes, 916, Myrrine says: “Come now, let me carry our couch” ( κλινίδιον )The fourth term, κλινάριον (Acts 5:15), cannot be accurately distinguished from the last. The last two are peculiar to Luke. [source]
Very old word. The flat roof of Jewish houses was usually reached by outside stairway. Cf. Acts 10:9 where Peter went for meditation.Through the tiles (δια των κεραμων dia tōn keramōn). Common and old word for the tile roof. Mark 2:4 speaks of digging a hole in this tile roof.Let him down First aorist (k aorist) effective active of κατιημι kathiēmi common verb. Mark 2:4 has historical present χαλωσι chalōsi the verb used by Jesus to Peter and in Peter‘s reply (Luke 5:4.).With his couch (συν τωι κλινιδιωι sun tōi klinidiōi). Also in Luke 5:24. Diminutive of κλινη klinē (Luke 5:18) occurring in Plutarch and Koiné writers. Mark 2:4 has κραβαττον krabatton (pallet). It doubtless was a pallet on which the paralytic lay.Into the midst before Jesus The four friends had succeeded, probably each holding a rope to a corner of the pallet. It was a moment of triumph over difficulties and surprise to all in the house (Peter‘s apparently, Mark 2:1). [source]

Old Greek name and so probably a Hellenistic Jew. He was apparently a disciple already (the saint, Acts 9:32). Luke the physician notes that he had been bed ridden for eight years. See note on Acts 5:15 for “bed” (krabattou) and Acts 8:7; Luke 5:18 for “paralyzed” (paralelumenos perfect passive participle of paraluō with ēn periphrastic past perfect passive). [source]
