Jesus Healing The Man Dropped Through The Roof

The man is literally let down through the roof under the careful control of his concerned friends and into a situation controlled by the lord jesus christ.

Jesus healing the man dropped through the roof.

Some of the scribes thought to themselves. When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. When they had broken a space big enough through the roof the four men let the man down through the roof.

Who does he think he is. The account of the healing of the paralyzed man in mark 2 1 12 contains a number of lessons for growing christians. When jesus saw their faith he told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven. 2 and they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed.

And when they had broken through they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Healing the paralytic let down through the roof in capernaum. Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. Your sins are forgiven 3 and some of the scribes said to themselves this fellowblasphemes 4 and jesus knowing their thoughts said why are you thinking evil in your hearts.

When the man s friends carried him to the house where jesus was staying they found the house to be packed with people wanting to hear jesus and be healed by him. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was. To help us understand these lessons however let s consider the background for this miracle. Healing the paralytic.

Since they were not able to bring him to jesus because of the crowd they removed the roof above where he was.
