Sick Man Lowered Through The Roof

There were four men carrying a man that was paralyzed.

Sick man lowered through the roof.

But instead of giving healing the first thing jesus said was son thy sins be forgiven thee jesus saw in this man a much greater need than healing for his body. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Someone that is crippled and disabled they wanted to get close to jesus but the house was so full of people that they couldn t get to him. They couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd so they dug a hole through the roof above his head.

20 seeing their faith jesus said to the man young man your sins are forgiven 21 but the pharisees and teachers of religious law said to themselves who does he think he is. Then they lowered the man on his mat right down in front of jesus. Thank god jesus is not only the healer but he is our redeemer. English standard version but finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before jesus.

When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof. Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. First jesus did what only god can do he forgave the man s sins. Then jesus healed the man so that he could get up and walk.

The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. So they tore a hole in this man s roof and lowered him down to jesus. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus. English standard version and when they could not get near him because of the crowd they removed the roof above him and when they had made an opening they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
