he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large=
numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he pre=
ached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringin=
g to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4&=

an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered t=
