Sick Man Lowered Through The Roof

So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles.

Sick man lowered through the roof.

Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus. There were four men carrying a man that was paralyzed. They couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then jesus healed the man so that he could get up and walk.

So they tore a hole in this man s roof and lowered him down to jesus. 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. 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. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was.

The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. First jesus did what only god can do he forgave the man s sins.

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. 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. 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.
