Among
the miracles of Jesus, one of the better known is the healing of a paralytic. It is found
in all three synoptic gospels - Mt 9:1-8; Mk 2:1-12; Lk 5:7-26 in
which a man was let down through a roof by his friends to be healed by Jesus.
The
occasion produced a range of emotions,
Jesus
is charged with blasphemy by some and God
glorified with amazement by others.
The
healing of the paralytic
reveals
a man who
was in need, who
was blessed with good friends and who
was forgiven of his sins by Jesus Christ.
