In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who are physically incapacitated and unable to walk.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, paralysis was a condition that left individuals dependent on others for mobility and care. There were limited medical treatments available, and those afflicted often faced social and economic challenges. In Jewish culture, physical ailments were sometimes viewed as a result of sin, leading to social stigma. The healing of paralytics by Jesus was a powerful demonstration of His authority and compassion, challenging prevailing beliefs and showcasing the inbreaking of God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3886.htm">paraluó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>paralytic<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>paralytic (8), paralytics (1), paralyzed (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3885: παραλυτικός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραλυτικός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παραλυτικη</span>, <span class="greek2">παραλυτικόν</span> (from <span class="greek2">παραλύω</span>, which see), <span class="accented">paralytic,</span> i. e. suffering from the relaxing of the nerves of one side; universally, <span class="accented">disabled, weak of limb</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
