Mar 2:4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
Four men brought a paralytic man to Jesus. The man and his friends had a strong persuasion that Christ was clothed by divine power and could heal him. Because of the big multitude, there was no longer any room around the door.
As the grievousness of the disease was, so was the greatness of their faith. They literary ” unroofed the roof” and lowered him down. When Jesus saw the faith of the friends as well as that of the paralytic, he did more than they expected. They desired only the healing of the body but Jesus healed both the body and the soul.
The four petitioners resolved not to be disappointed when they could not get through the crowd at the door. They got their friend by some other means to the roof of the house, took off some tiles and let him down upon his bed where Christ was preaching. They would not go away, nor let Christ go without blessing them.
Strong faith is innovative. It works variously, conquering the objections of reason and sometimes sense. The man arose out of his bed ; perfectly well, he took his bed and went forth before them all and they were all amazed!
