Jesus heals a lame man

Jesus loves us. He is sad if we get sick.
He loves to make people well again.

Once there was a man who could not walk.
His bed was a mat. He lay all day on his mat.
The man had four friends. They wanted Jesus to heal the man. Jesus was in a house teaching and healing the people.

A crowd of people was outside the house. They stopped the friends from getting inside. So the men got up on the roof and made a big hole in it. The men held the man’s mat and let him down through the hole in the roof.

Jesus said to him, “I forgive you your sins. Stand up, pick up your mat and go home.”
The man stood up by himself. He was not lame any more. Jesus had healed him.

Many people saw he was healed. They praised God for all that Jesus had done.
