Mark 2:1-5 ▼

1 Several days later, Jesus returned to Capernaum and it was reported that he was at home.

2 Such a large crowd gathered that there wasn't room for them, even in front of the door. Jesus was speaking his message to them

3 when some people came and brought him a paralyzed man being carried by four men.

4 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. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he told the paralyzed man, |Son, your sins are forgiven.|
