MARCO 2:4

E, non potendosi accostare a lui, per la calca, scopersero il tetto della casa dove era Gesù; e, foratolo, calarono il letticello, in sul quale giaceva il paralitico.

And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
