Luke 5:17-26
When I was in Israel our guide taught us that around the Sea of Galilee most of the homes had roofs that could be removed. In that region it can get rather hot. They used this type of construction so that they could remove the roof and allow the heat trapped in the house to escape. Consequently, for these men to remove part of the roof would not have been that difficult.
What does seem amazing about this story is the boldness of the men in finding help for the paralytic. They were willing to do whatever necessary to bring their friend to Jesus. There is nothing half hearted about climbing on the house, removing part of the roof and lowering the man to Jesus.
