Sick Man Lowered Through The Roof

When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof.

Sick man lowered through the roof.

So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Thank god jesus is not only the healer but he is our redeemer. So they tore a hole in this man s roof and lowered him down to jesus. There were four men carrying a man that was paralyzed.

Then jesus healed the man so that he could get up and walk. 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. Then they lowered the man on his mat right down in front of jesus. 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.

Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. 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. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was.

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. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. 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. First jesus did what only god can do he forgave the man s sins.
