Suddenly a group of men tried to bring a friend of theirs into the meeting to get him close to jesus.

Friends tore the roof off to get to jesys.

These friends literally tore the tiles off the roof tore a hole in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man by a rope into the house. I d guess anger because they are there to listen to jesus. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd they removed the roof above him and when they had made an opening they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. They climbed up on top of the thatched roof made a hole in it and lowered their friend down on a mat right to the feet of jesus.

Such was their love for their friend and confidence in jesus power and willingness to help that they would interrupt his discussions with the local theologians. This might have stopped them faith series. Imagine the people s responses. His friends found that they could not get him into the crowded house.

He was paralyzed and had to be carried on his bed. They were going to get their friend to jesus. It was a real commitment to dig into some stranger s roof and make a man sized hole in it. Berean study bible since they were unable to get to jesus through the crowd they uncovered the roof above him made an opening and lowered the paralytic on his mat.
