25
when they could not get near him because of the crowd
they removed
26
the roof above him
and when they had made an opening
27
down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their
28
faith
he said to the paralytic
29
of the scribes were sitting there
questioning in their hearts
30
this man speak like that?... Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
31
And immediately Jesus
perceiving in his spirit that they thus
32
questioned within themselves
said to them
33
these things in your hearts? Which is easier
to say to the paralytic
34
"Your sins are forgiven', or to say, 'Rise, take you up your bed and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - he said to the paralytic - "| say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home." And he rose'

Mark 2:3-11
36
Jesus refers to himself as the 'Son of Man' often. In this example
many Catholics
37
see Jesus acting with the authority of God
but also in service to others as a man.

In this lesson you will
41
study one of the healing
42
miracle stories and
43
consider what it reveals
44
about Jesus.

46
You can read the full
47
story of Jesus Heals a
48
Paralysed Man in
49
Mark 2:1-11. What does
50
Jesus performing this
51
miracle show to you?
52
All Jesus' healing
53
miracles demonstrate
54
God's power
which
55
can not only physically
56
heal
but also
57
spiritually heal through
58
forgiving sins. In this
59
story many Catholics
60
see that it is the faith
61
of the man's friends
62
who are determined
63
to bring the paralysed
64
man to Jesus
that is
65
rewarded.
66
For Jewish people at
67
that time
this would
68
likely have been
69
an astonishing and
70
disrespectful thing to
71
say
as they believed
72
only God could forgive
73
sins.

75
What does the healing of the paralysed
76
man reveal about Jesus?
77
The reaction of the scribes and the amazement of
78
the witnesses show that Jesus' miracles were both
79
controversial and amazing events. Catholics believe
80
they reveal several key things:
81
• Jesus was not afraid to challenge ideas about how
82
people who had illnesses or impairments should
83
be treated
and healed people both physically and
84
• His actions showed he had the power to forgive
85
sins and the authority to perform miracles as
86
the Son of God
revealing God's merciful nature
87
towards those who were in need
but had faith.
88
• His miracles were a gift of grace given to faithful
89
marginalised individuals. While some may have
90
seen people who had an impairment or illness as
91
having failed God
Jesus showed that everyone
92
deserved the same chance to receive God's
93
For Christians today
Jesus provides a perfect example
94
of how to behave towards those in need. Whether a
95
person is well or ill
man or woman
96
Kingdom of God is open to all people. Faith in Jesus is
97
the first step towards salvation.
98
A Jesus reveals he acts with the power of God when he heals
99
the paralysed man
100
Understand
101
1 How was illness or impairment sometimes explained in the time of Jesus?
102
2 In the story of Jesus Heals a Paralysed Man
why does Jesus say 'your sins
103
are forgiven'?
104
3 Explain why Jesus' actions would have been considered especially radical at
105
that time.
106
4 Explain how the miracle of healing in Jesus Heals a Paralysed Man
107
demonstrates Jesus' power.
108
5 Explain how this miracle connects to one parable about the Kingdom that
109
you have read in this chapter.

6 'Belief in miracles is no longer relevant now that we have scientific
112
explanations. Write a response to this statement giving at least one reason
113
for either side of the argument. Include a carefully considered conclusion to
114
weigh the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments.

Respond
116
7 Ask at least
117
two people
118
to give their views
119
about miracles. Do
120
they believe that
121
miracles can occur?
122
What evidence do
123
they have? How
124
far do you agree or
125
disagree with their
126
ideas?
