In this story, Jesus was teaching in a crowded house in Capernaum, and four men brought their paralyzed friend, hoping Jesus would heal him. Unable to reach Jesus due to the crowd, they lowered the man through the roof to place him directly before Jesus. Jesus first forgave the man's sins, which shocked the religious leaders present, as they believed only God could forgive sins. To demonstrate His divine authority, Jesus then told the man to get up, take his mat, and walk—and the man did, completely healed. This miracle amazed the crowd and reinforced Jesus' power not only to heal physically but also to forgive sins. This miracle not only confirms Jesus' divine authority but also highlights the power of faith and the interconnection between spiritual and physical healing.
