# There he found a certain man

Peter was not intentionally searching for a paralyzed person, but happened upon him. Alternate translation: "There Peter met a man"

# a certain man named Aeneas

This introduces Aeneas as a new character in the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-participants]])

# who had been in his bed ... was paralyzed

This is background information about Aeneas. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])

# paralyzed

This means he was unable to walk. He probably was unable to move any part of his body below his waist.
