Capernaum, he came into my son-in-law, Peter's, house. I had been so
sick. I couldn't even get out of bed because my fever was so high. But
when Jesus came in, He just took me by the hand and lifted me up. He
didn't wave His hands around. He didn’t even say anything! He just took
me by the hand, and I was restored.
(Take a seat by the filing cabinet)

Paralytic: (Rolled up mat on shoulder)

And another day, Jesus was teaching in this very house. It was packed.
There must have been thousands more at the door. But I needed to get
to Jesus. So my friends…

Friend 1: HEY! This is our part!

Friend 2: YEAH! Let us tell it! It was us who carried you, you know? And
you were heavy!

Friend 3: But we knew that Jesus could heal him, so we lowered him
down.

Friend 4: And Jesus actually told him that his sins were forgiven!

Paralytic: After all, that's what I really needed, even more than to walk.

Friend 1: But you should have seen how angry the Pharisees got at
what Jesus said!

Friend 2: And then Jesus actually said, "That you may know that the Son
of Man has the authority to forgive sins, I say, 'Get up, Take your mat,
and go home.'"

me and just said, "Follow me." So I did! And he came into my house and
actually ate with me and with other people like me! He told us of the
Gospel and the forgiveness of sins.

Pharisee 1: Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?

Pharisee 2: He better watch it. He has no idea what we're capable of.

Pharisee 1: If this Jesus keeps it up, we will destroy Him.

(Pharisees back to conference room)

Matthew: And Jesus told them that those who are well don't need a
doctor and that He came for not the self-righteous but for the sinner
like me like you.

Crowd 1: That man with a withered up hand had been coming into the
synagogue Sabbath after Sabbath. He was making everyone nervous
because well he was clearly unclean.

Crowd 2: But Jesus had no problem going up to him!

WH Man: And you could see them all staring at Jesus they wondered
what He'd do. They should have known he had said that He was Lord of
the Sabbath. And all He did was tell me to stretch out my hand. He
didn’t wave his hands around. He didn’t touch me. He only spoke His
Word. And I'm restored!

Crowd 3: But those Pharisees they are surely out to destroy Him now.

(Jarius Runs in from synagogue)

Jarius: And then I ran to Jesus because my daughter was so sick she was
about to die.

(Ill woman enters)

Woman: I had been bleeding for 12 years, and all I wanted to do was to
touch His outer garment. I knew I'd be healed and I was!

told me to leave Jesus alone, but Jesus is more powerful than death! He
came into my house, and He told my daughter to rise and she did! He
