Context of Mark 2:3
1When He returned to Capernaum after some days, it was heard that He was at the house. 2So many were gathered that there was no longer room for them even outside the door. He kept proclaiming the word to them. Some people came bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four men. 4When they couldn’t get near Yeshua because of the crowd, they removed the roof where He was. After digging through, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. 5Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
