I’m too weak to

four friends.

Why do you reason in your hearts?

So that you may know that the Son

of Man has power on earth to

forgive sins, I say to this man

“Rise up and walk”.

These four friends carried the

crippled man to Jesus, but

there were too many people

listening to his preaching. They

couldn’t get in the door.

Let’s let him

Bah! Who

can forgive

sins, except

God alone?

The man took up

his bed and went

home rejoicing.
