And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.

και μη ευροντες δια ποιας εισοδου να φερωσιν αυτον εσω εξ αιτιας του οχλου, ανεβησαν επι το δωμα και δια των κεραμιδων κατεβιβασαν αυτον μετα του κλινιδιου εις το μεσον εμπροσθεν του Ιησου.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
