Plus the roof wasn t made with large pieces of wood and didn t have shingles but had tiles or plaster that could be lifted or broken through easily to make a hole.

How jesus healed a paralyzed man through the roof.

He saw the man s sinful heart. God can always see the heart of a person luke 16 15. 19 but not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher into the middle of the crowd in front of jesus. And they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of him.

The story of how jesus healed a paralyzed man shows two types of miracles. A man who could not walk wanted to be healed by jesus. But jesus saw a need much greater than his paralyzed legs. 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.

The man on the mat was not able to walk.

Jesus knew that the man was a sinner like every man woman and child. 20 when jesus saw their faith he said.
