Mark 2:1-4

1When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home.

2Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them,

3four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat.

4They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus.
