Hello everybody, welcome to the Podcast Stories of the Bible in English and Spanish. Today I’ll talk about how a group of friends took one of them (the one who was paralyzed) thru a hole in a roof to present him to Jesus to ask the Son of God to heal him… a story that you can find in the Book of Matthew.

Down the road lived a man who could not walk. He was paralyzed. Down the road lived a man who could not walk. He was paralyzed. His friends believed Jesus could heal him.

They carried him to the house. It was still too crowded. So they carried him up to the roof.

The man’s friends made a hole and lowered him down to Jesus. Jesus saw that the men had faith. He knew how much they loved their friend.

Jesus said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.” The man stood up and walked! The crowd praised God.
