When someone can't even get a ride to an AA meeting, the action of "some men" stand in sharp contrast. Were they his friends? Were they his family? How were they inspired to not only carry him from some far away village, but they climbed up on the roof? How did they get the courage to climb up on a stranger's roof? Pretty amazin story.
Luke 5:17-26
One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting nearby (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. Just then some men came, carrying a paralysed man on a bed. They were trying to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; but finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus. When he saw their faith, he said, 'Friend, your sins are forgiven you.'
