Man Lowered Through Roof Jesus

Point out that jesus healed both the man s physical problem and his heart.

Man lowered through roof jesus.

They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. So they tore a hole in this man s roof and lowered him down to jesus. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles.

Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. International standard version since they couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. Luke 5 19 tells us when they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd right in front of jesus mark s gospel describes the process as digging through it 2 4. When jesus saw their faith he said friend your sins are forgiven luke 5 20.

When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof. As far as they were concerned jesus may not ever pass that way again and they wanted to make sure this paralytic man had to chance to see him. 20 when jesus saw their faith he said friend your sins are forgiven. Help them realize that it was because everyone could see whether the man could walk versus his sins being forgiven not being seen by others.

Let s identify the two people to whom jesus said your sins are forgiven before he died on the cross. The first is the paralyzed man who was brought to jesus by friends and lowered through a roof to be healed. Some of the scribes thought to themselves. When jesus saw their faith he told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven.

But instead of giving healing the first thing jesus said was son thy sins be forgiven thee. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus. They tried to take him inside to jesus 19 but they couldn t reach him because of the crowd. 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.

Ask the child if they can explain why it would be easier for jesus to forgive sins than heal the man. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was. When they had broken a space big enough through the roof the four men let the man down through the roof. Luke 5 18 25new international version niv 18 some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before jesus 19 when they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd right in front of jesus.

And when they had broken through they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. 20 seeing their faith jesus said to the man young man your sins are forgiven. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus.
