The Gospels contain a number of references to the healing of paralytics. EIsewhere, too, we find stories about such healings. The Old Testament speaks several times about paralysed limbs, and it is worthy of note that both men and animals were regarded as unsuitable for the cult if they were paralysed. Otherwise paralytics were treated with kindness. The Synoptists refer to the healing of the man with the withered hand. The healing took place on a Sabbath, and the conflict about the admissibility of the healing dominates the story. The healing of the paralytic at Capernaum is treated in fairly considerable detail by the Synoptists. In the New Testament the healing of paralytics is reported both in the lists of various diseases which were healed by Jesus and in a number of special cases. The will and the power to live were given solely in the words of Jesus Christ.Keywords: Capernaum; Gospels; Jesus; New Testament; Old Testament; paralytics; Sabbath; Synoptists
