Exegesis
The object phrase ton krabbaton sou {τὸν κράβαττόν σου | tón krá-bat-ton sou} identifies the man’s own bed as the thing to be carried, underscoring that the former symbol of his sickness now becomes something he can bear away. In translation, the historical present is converted to a simple past (“said” / “told”) to match normal English narrative style, while the threefold sequence of imperatives is preserved so that the progressive, authoritative force of Jesus’ command is clearly conveyed.
