The House Four Men Opened The Roof Where Jesus Was

Remember also that a first century home had an outside staircase up to the flat roof.

The house four men opened the roof where jesus was. When thou buildest a new house then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof that thou bring not blood upon thine house if any man fall from thence. This done they tied ropes about the bed on which the man lay and lowered the bed very carefully into the room before jesus. Jesus healed the man. 2 samuel 11 2 and it came to pass in an eveningtide that david arose from off his bed and walked upon the roof of the king s house.

Jesus told the man to get up take your bed and go to your house that is so amazing. When the crowd had refused to make way for them to pass the four friends carried the man up on the flat roof of the house. When they had broken a space big enough in the roof the four men let their friend down through the roof right in front of jesus. When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof.

When they had broken a space big enough through the roof the four men let the man down through the roof. Then they tore up the roof tiling and saw where jesus stood. When thou buildest a new house then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof that thou bring not blood upon thine house if any man fall from thence. Someone that is crippled and disabled they wanted to get close to jesus but the house was so full of people that they couldn t get to him.

This enabled the four men to carry their paralytic friend and his bed up to the rooftop without spilling him and without employing an elaborate ladder or block and tackle system. And from the roof he saw a woman washing herself. Now he can walk.
