Jesus returned to Capernaum after many months after many months of preaching throughout Galilee.
His preaching tour lasted about a year.
This is better translated, “He was at home.”
This was likely Peter’s home, where Jesus had taken up temporary residence
In the freedom of Jewish custom many uninvited people crowded into the house and around the door, thus preventing access.
Jesus was speaking the Word to them.
Jesus continued in His primary mission: “ He preached the Word to them “
No doubt some had come to get a need met or to be healed Some may have come just out of curisty as well but Jesus remained consistant with the main work of God
The good news of the gospel, that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, for the forgiveness of sins.Whether this event took place in His own house (“He was at home,” NASB), or Peter’s house, is not made clear.
Since hospitality is one of the basic laws of the East, the people of Capernaum did not wait for an invitation but simply came to the house in droves.
This meant that some of the truly needy people could not get close enough to Jesus to receive His help.
However, four friends of a palsied man decided to lower their friend through the roof, trusting that Jesus would heal him; and Jesus did.
This miracle of healing gave our Lord the opportunity to teach an important lesson about forgiveness

Since he was lying on a bed, the man’s paralysis was severe—perhaps he was a quadriplegic.
He is totally immobile, confined to a stretcher.
It’s a very dangerous thing to do life alone
Who is carrying you ? and where are they taking you ?
Its very Obvious they really cared for this man, given the extremes that they went through to bring him to Jesus
Mark
Most homes in Palestine had flat roofs used for relaxation in the cool of the day and for sleeping on hot nights.
And there was usually an external stairway that extended to the roof.
Often, as here, the roof was made of slabs of burnt or dried clay that were placed on supporting beams which stretched from wall to wall.
The builder then spread a uniform coat of fresh, wet clay over those slabs of hardened clay to serve as a seal against the rain.
The paralytic’s friends took him up to the top of such a house and dug out the top coat of clay, removing several of the slabs until they made enough room to lower him down into Jesus’ presence.
the paralytic.
Consider this scene through the eyes of the Lord Jesus.
When He looked up, He saw the four men on the roof with their sick friend.
Houses had flat roofs which were usually accessible by means of an outside stairway.
It would not be difficult to remove the tiles, laths, and grass that comprised the roof and make an opening large enough to fit their friend through on his mat.
Don’t allow anyone or anything stop you from getting to Jesus
Don’t confuse Christ with his followers
The aggressive, persistent effort of the paralytic’s friends was visible evidence of their faith in Christ to heal.
“Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
Many Jews in that day believed that all disease and affliction was a direct result of one’s sins.
This paralytic may have believed that as well; thus he would have welcomed forgiveness of his sins before healing.
The Gr. verb for “are forgiven” refers to sending or driving away
Thus Jesus dismissed the man’s sin and freed him from the guilt of it
Your most obvious need may not be your most important need.
Mark
We must learn the art of maintaining our personal purity all while showing maintaining a fellowship of mercy with unbelievers
When I’m following Jesus There is nothing in my past that can keep me from experiencing present and future blessings
My reputation has no bearings on my redemption
Religion births frustration while a relationship with Christ should bring joy
Religion brings with it rules, regulations and burdens while a relationship with Christ is liberating
