Jesus Rip The Roof Off For The Paralytic

Luke uses the general expression those days referring to the early portion of our lord s ministry in galilee.

Jesus rip the roof off for the paralytic.

And mark writes that jesus looks at the men and sees their faith. 2 and they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed seeing their faith jesus said to the paralytic take courage son. That s faith if i ve ever seen it. Mark says some days which implies the lapse of a considerable interval.

They ripped a roof off for pete s sake. They earned their. Your sins are forgiven 3 and some of the scribes said to themselves this fellow blasphemes 4 and jesus knowing their thoughts said why are you thinking evil in your hearts. C 17 and it came to pass on one of those days b when he entered again into capernaum after some days c that he was teaching.

5 when jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven. Through one of the most creative schemes ever their faith in jesus is made clear to everyone. When jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven you mark 2 3 5. All of a sudden you start to hear some banging on the roof.

So when they had broken through they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. Imagine the people s responses. B it was noised that he was in the house. I d guess anger because they are there to listen to jesus.

5 which is easier to say your sins are forgiven or to say get up. Then the roof begins to fall in on you. The giant gap in the roof is a further reminder of their belief. Then he speaks to the paralytic.
