1. paralytic, paralyzed person — A person afflicted with paralysis, unable to move limbs; used substantively as an adjective-turned-noun in the Synoptic healing narratives (Matt 4:24; 8:6; 9:2, 6; Mark 2:3-10; Luke 5:24). The paralytic lowered through the roof (Mark 2:3-5) and those brought to Jesus for healing are all instances of this single sense.
