‏ Luke 5:18

 That was palsied ( ος ην παραλελυμενος ). Periphrastic past perfect passive where Mr 2:3; Mt 9:2 have  παραλυτικον (our paralytic). Luke's phrase is the technical medical term (Hippocrates, Galen, etc.) rather than Mark's vernacular word (Ramsay, Luke the Physician, pp. 57f.).

 They sought ( εζητουν ). Conative imperfect.
