- mat - This could be translated as "sleeping pad" or "bed" or "stretcher" or "couch."
- was paralyzed - "could not move himself"
- And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the crowd - In some languages it might be more natural to reorder this. "But because of the crowd of people, they could not find a way to take the man inside. So...."
