It was a real commitment to dig into some stranger s roof and make a man sized hole in it.
Friends tore the roof off to get to jesys.
They were going to get their friend to jesus.
Faith to tear the roof off how often do we see a need that we can fill and yet we.
Berean study bible since they were unable to get to jesus through the crowd they uncovered the roof above him made an opening and lowered the paralytic on his mat.
Imagine the people s responses.
Treasury of scripture and when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude they went on the housetop and let him down through the tiling with his couch into.
These friends literally tore the tiles off the roof tore a hole in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man by a rope into the house.
Such was their love for their friend and confidence in jesus power and willingness to help that they would interrupt his discussions with the local theologians.
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.
But they didn t give up.
He was paralyzed and had to be carried on his bed.
I d guess anger because they are there to listen to jesus.
This might have stopped them faith series.
A paralyzed man s friends carried him to jesus for healing but they couldn t get through the crowds into the house where he was teaching.
His friends found that they could not get him into the crowded house.
Suddenly a group of men tried to bring a friend of theirs into the meeting to get him close to jesus.
