Once again Luke does not tell us the time and place of this healing of the paralytic man. All he tells us is that it happened "one day." Mark puts this incident early in the ministry of Jesus, 2:1-3:6, and: Matthew places it in Capernaum after the healing of the Gadarene demoniac, 8:28. Luke places this healing incident here to give us another example, along with Peter and the healed leper, of a humble person receiving help from Jesus.
