The man was let down through the roof tiling, not sticks and branches. He was carried by four men. This was to take place inside the house, not outside. Also, the bible does not say he had it for 20 years.

They had to take up tiles on the roof to lower him down, not thatch as depicted in the scene.

I don't think the bible says he was tied on to his bed. The sick man never said anything to Jesus.

In the movie, Jesus said "The Son of Man has the power to forgive sins", whereas multiple Gospels quote him as having said "The Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins."

The Bible says nothing of the paralyzed man speaking to Jesus, but it could be reasonably implied that they did speak. However, a Jew would not believe that God would punish him for the sins of his parents.

The fishnet that is casting a shadow on the wall disappears and reappears several times?

The crippled man was not seeking forgiveness, but only to be healed.

The scribes were sitting there, not standing.

Clue #7: It's going to be either Jesus or the paralytic, and nothing else. That's pretty darn narrowed down. Cool

In Mark is seems Jesus told the man his sins were forgiven as soon as he saw the man.

If he had a palsy, why wasn't he shaking?

Jesus didn't help him up.

It sure looks like the paralytic's cot is on something when Jesus starts untying him. Then it's on the ground in the next cut.

It also looks like Jesus may be on a different side of the man in different cuts.

In the scene the paralytic did not immediately get up and praise God. Jesus had to help him up slowly. Nor did he pick up his mat/item he was laying on.

Ok. My last guess on this hint. The hole in the shoulder of the paralytic's clothes disappeared.

Thanks so much for doing this. What a good way to get people to check out these verses.

The paralyzed man has large forearms and calves. Should have very little muscle since he hasn't moved in 20 years.

Why dig a hole through Simon's roof when they could have just handed the paralytic to the people below in the middle of the open courtyard and off to the side of the awning, who were only a few feet away... except to follow the verse, but the scene would then not take place in an open space.

It may be a trick of the lighting but it looks like the cloth with which the paralytic is bound to the litter turns from a dirty purple/brown to white as Jesus unties it.

OUSTANDING! Yup, that stood out like a sore thumb to me the first time I watched the movie. If you've been paralyzed for 20 years, not moving at all, your muscles would all be atrophied. This "paralytic" has real muscular forearms. This was an example of casting the wrong person for the part. Guess that director slept through the anatomy & physiology class. Big Grin


Thank you everyone for participating. I really appreciate it.
