Illustrations for Man Let down through the Roof from the Annie Vallotton Bible Illustrations Collection
In Mark 2, four friends let a paralyzed man down through the roof to see Jesus.
When the Pharisees hear Jesus tell the paralyzed man that his sins are forgiven, they say it is blasphemy.
Jesus shows his authority by telling the paralyzed man he is forgiven and to get up, pick up his mat, and walk.
The man does as Jesus says, and picks up his mat and walks!
