Summary

When four friends couldn't get a paralysed man through a crowded house to see Jesus, they lowered him through the roof. Jesus, moved by their determined faith, forgave the man's sins and healed him. This story shows the power of persistent faith, friendship, and prayer in facing life's challenges.
