How Jesus Healed A Paralyzed Man Through The Roof

2 and they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed.

How jesus healed a paralyzed man through the roof.

Who does he think he is. This second claim set jesus at odds with the pharisees and constituted a claim that jesus was the son of god. The men climb atop the house and dig a hole through the roof then lower the paralyzed man through the hole. For example matthew does not mention the intervening actions of the men how the men were able to get the paralyzed man to jesus.

The story of how jesus healed a paralyzed man shows two types of miracles. Healing the paralytic let down through the roof in capernaum. One could be seen as the paralyzed man was able to get up and walk. The ceiling is crumbling a bit and everyone stops and looks up to see what s going on.

Seeing their faith jesus said to the paralytic take courage son. A man who could not walk wanted to be healed by jesus. The bible says that after digging through the roof the men lowered the mat that the paralyzed man was lying on down to where jesus was. 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.

But the first miracle was unseen as jesus said he was granting forgiveness for the man s sins. 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. 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.

Imagine listening carefully to jesus when all of a sudden you hear something coming from above you. Some of the scribes thought to themselves. Matthew s writing tends to be abbreviated synopses of the events.
