Strong's Lexicon paralutikos: Paralytic Original Word: παραλυτικός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παραλύω (paraluō), meaning "to loosen" or "to disable." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "paralutikos," the concept of physical ailments and healing is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, such as in the stories of Naaman's leprosy (2 Kings 5) and the healing promises in Isaiah 35:5-6. Usage: The term "paralutikos" refers to a person suffering from paralysis, a condition characterized by the loss of the ability to move certain parts of the body. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who are physically incapacitated and unable to walk. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
