This begins an account of Jesus healing a paralyzed man.

## Jesus entered a boat  ##

The disciples probably went with Jesus (see UDB).

## a boat ##

Probably the same boat as in [Matthew 8:23](../08/23.md). Specify only if you need to avoid confusion.

## came into his own city ##

"the city where he was staying" (UDB).

## Behold ##

This marks the beginning of another event in the larger story. It may involve different people than the previous events. Your language may have a way of doing this.

## they...their ##

those who brought the paralyzed man to Jesus. It may include the paralyzed man himself.

## Son ##

The man was not Jesus' real son. Jesus was speaking to him politely. If this is confusing, it can also be translated "My friend" or "Young man," or even omitted.

## your sins have been forgiven ##

"God has forgiven your sins" or "I have forgiven your sins"
