The Paralyzed Man Lowered Through Roof

Cut out the house and man on mat.

The paralyzed man lowered through roof.

Houses in those days had flat roofs that were made of clay and straw. The man is literally let down through the roof under the careful control of his concerned friends and into a situation controlled by the lord jesus christ. The house had a flat roof and outside stairs leading up to the roof. Thread wool through holes in roof and tie.

Jesus saw the faith of the four men and said to the paralyzed man friend your sins are forgiven. They usually had stairs on the outside so people could climb on the roof to get some fresh air. Allow enough wool so the man can be lowered. And when they had broken through they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

Make two small holes in the roof. 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. Tape 2 strips of wool on back of man. Glue flaps on house to make 3d.

Maybe they could somehow get inside the house through the roof. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. However the direction is not up and the situation is not out of control. 20 when jesus saw their faith he said friend your sins are forgiven.

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. So the mean climbed on to the top of the roof carrying the paralyzed man.
