Another two stabs at it:

1) When the paralytic man was being pulled up over the wall it looked like a bunch of dirty rags tied to the cot-couldn't see a man at all. Once he was on top, you could clearly see a tall man on the cot in pretty clean robes, tied only onto the cot only by one sash. Very different look, and he probably would have slid off the cot the way he was lifted.

2) When the man was being lowered through the roof and people were shouting, someone shouted "watch his hands", but his hands were clearly folded tightly into his body and he was bound to the cot by the sash. Clearly his hands weren't flailing about.

At 2:08:58 there is a closeup of 3 men and 1 of them is clean shaven.

At 2:09:28 when the cripple is rising to grab Jesus's hand, there is a someone with knee-length faded jeans in the background directly behind the hand.

My weak guesses...

The paralyzed man didn't have a brother...
The roof was simple thatch, whereas it's noted on several online sources that the roof should've been twigs/sticks/mud and not an exposed area..
The paralayzed man wasn't carried in on a stretcher, rather told to roll up his mat and walk home.

At any rate, thanks for the awesome chance. That's one of my favorite powerful scenes from that series.

The rolled up Jean shorts are a nice add, though...

His nitted beanie cap made of yarn is not exactly kosher for the time. Nor is the camo netting.

Jesus wouldn't have had blue eyes.

In the Bible, the paraylitic man was told to get up, pick up his bed/mat/etc and go home, which he IMMEDIATELY did.

EDITED: In the bible they didn't contest his healing of the man by saying anything after He said your sins are forgiven. The Scribes thought it in their hearts and He knew it and responded. With the saying is it easier to say your sins are forgiven or to rise and walk.

The bible also doesn't say how long he had been in his sick bed. Here he said 20 years.

Also, it wasn't Peter's house like in the movie.

And it wasn't where/how Jesus encountered and called Matthew/Levi

He met Mathew after he had healed the lame man on the bed. In the movie it was reversed.

And even if it had been Peter's property, he wouldn't have tried to chase away and scold the people bringing the paraylitic

He also said "Son be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee. The good cheer was left out.

He also told the lame man to simply to arise and go into thine house. In the movie he said arise and walk home. A dfference that indicates he was at the lame persons home and he didn't need to be brought over the wall to see Jesus.

I swear when they are raising him up it sounds like some one yells out "Take the elevator".

When Jesus first kneels down next to the lame man and says his sins are forgiven there is no hole in the man's clothes facing the camera


He is interrupted by one of the apostles claiming blasphemy and when he kneels back down next to the man there is a hole clearly visible in his clothes fscing the camera. The man's clothes have changed even though he hasn't moved.

Would the discrepancy be that in the movie, there appears to be a bare-chested black guy on the roof who comes and helps with the bed?

It looks like they were portraying him to be a convert with the blue beanie cap. I don't think he would have been welcome in that crowd as they didn't even socialize with Samaritans.

I'll take another stab at it..... when the cripple says he's been like that for 20 years, it's the curse of God, punishment for his sins and for his parents sins. Would he really be punished for his parents sins?

The paralytic was only supposed to be carried by 4 men .

They had to remove the roof above Jesus/dig an opening, not just drop him thru some straw.

Before they carry the paralytic man up and over the wall, there is one man on the ground with dark curly hair whose head is not covered like the rest.

Some of the male extras have full facial hair, others do not. I thought I saw one extra with a cross around his neck for an instant (which would not be historically correct), then it was gone.

Some of the extras are changing position in the background between shots. One of the shorter ones seems to have clothes that change position, too.

There is another man whose head is not covered when the bring him down through the other side, and another that comes into the screen with an uncovered head a few seconds later.

Some of the kids on the wall and other extras look like they have modern times khaki pants on.

Maybe the knots on the paralytic's litter are modern, and not ancient knots?

The shorts on the men around the man who was healed on the left of the screen at the end of the scene look like they have the bottoms folded up, as we would do in modern times.

When the Lord unties the man on the litter, it looks like there is nothing/no one on the litter. It looks empty for that moment, at least from a distance.

There appears to be a continuity problem with the head covering of the man who was healed in that scene. When he is laying down, the cloth covering is only on one side of his head, over the knitted cap. When he gets up, and the camera comes back to him, it is over both sides, and you cannot see the knitting/knots of the cap.

The positioning of the cloth covering over the knitted cap on the man who was healed is moving position back and forth as the camera changes angles as he gets up, alternately revealing, then covering the knitted cap to varying degrees.

At one point it seemed as if the litter reversed 180 degrees with regard to the position of the paralytic man and the Lord.

There are also issues with the shadows in the scene, likely due to multiple takes and the movement of the sun. For the wide shot, before the Lord heals him, there are no/very few shadows. For the shot where the man is healed, there are shadows on the ground of hands making various shapes, and the feet of the extras are throwing shadows, too.

The Son of man has the power to forgive sin does not sound right.

He's paralyzed yet his fingers move and curl up?

Not sure if it was mentioned, but shouldn't the paralyzed man be carried and lowered on a mat and not a "stretcher" for lack of a better word?

And the paralyzed man was supposed to pick up what he was being carried on.
