Healing the paralytic at Capernaum

Christ healing the paralytic at Capernaum by Bernhard Rode 1780.

Healing the paralytic at Capernaum is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels in Matthew (9:1-8), Mark (2:1-12) and Luke (5:17-26).^[1][2][3][4]

According to the Gospels, when Jesus entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four other people. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
