Jesus was teaching in a house. It was so crowded that nobody else could get in!
Four friends carried a man who couldn't walk. They couldn't reach Jesus, so they climbed onto the roof, made a hole, and lowered their friend down on his mat!
Jesus saw their faith. He said, “Your sins are forgiven.” Then He said, “Get up and walk!” The man stood up, picked up his mat, and walked home!
