Jesus Rip The Roof Off For The Paralytic
Mark says some days which implies the lapse of a considerable interval.
Jesus rip the roof off for the paralytic. Then he speaks to the paralytic. 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. 5 which is easier to say your sins are forgiven or to say get up. Luke uses the general expression those days referring to the early portion of our lord s ministry in galilee.
B it was noised that he was in the house. 4 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. 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. The giant gap in the roof is a further reminder of their belief.
They ripped a roof off for pete s sake. Then the roof begins to fall in on you. They earned their. Imagine the people s responses.
And mark writes that jesus looks at the men and sees their faith. 5 when jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven. 2 and they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed seeing their faith jesus said to the paralytic take courage son. It s time to rip the roof off our faith and get to jesus.
I d guess anger because they are there to listen to jesus. When jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven you mark 2 3 5. That s faith if i ve ever seen it. Through one of the most creative schemes ever their faith in jesus is made clear to everyone.
