“And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.”
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus — the four men carrying the paralyzed man are reduced to some men in Luke but the dramatic action is the same. Tried to take him in communicates the attempt before the crowd prevented it — the determination that produces the roof-opening is preceded by the failed conventional approach.
