SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:25
Y luego, levantndose en presencia de ellos, y tomando el lecho en que estaba echado, se fue a su casa, glorificando a Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And immediately he rose up before them , etc.] As soon as ever these words were spoken by Christ, the man, before sick of the palsy, finding himself perfectly well, got off of his couch, and stood up on his feet before the Scribes and Pharisees, and all the people: and took up that whereon he lay ; his couch, or bed: and departed to his own house; with it upon his back: and went to his business, as the Persic version renders it: glorifying God ; both for the healing of his body, and for the pardon of his sins; each of which he knew none but God could do. This circumstance is only mentioned by Luke, and shows the sense the man had of the great favours bestowed upon him: he glorified God, by ascribing them to his goodness and power; by offering the sacrifice of praise, or giving thanks unto him for them; by publishing them among his neighbours, to the honour of his name; and by living a holy life and conversation, to his glory, under a grateful sense of his kindness: yea, he glorified Jesus Christ as God, who he knew must be God, by forgiving his sins, and curing his disease; he proclaimed his divine power, and ascribed greatness to him; he confessed him as the Messiah, and owned him as his Saviour, and became subject to him as his Lord.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-26 - How many are there in our assemblies, where the gospel is preached, wh do not sit under the word, but sit by! It is to them as a tale that is told them, not as a message that is sent to them. Observe the dutie taught and recommended to us by the history of the paralytic. I applying to Christ, we must be very pressing and urgent; that is a evidence of faith, and is very pleasing to Christ, and prevailing with him. Give us, Lord, the same kind of faith with respect to thy abilit and willingness to heal our souls. Give us to desire the pardon of sin more than any earthly blessing, or life itself. Enable us to believ thy power to forgive sins; then will our souls cheerfully arise and go where thou pleasest.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:25 {Whereon he lay} (ef' ho katekeito). Imperfect, upon which he had been lying down. Luke uses this phrase instead of repeating klinidion (verse #24). {Glorifying God} (doxazwn ton qeon). As one can well imagine.
