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.

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

lbaker45I don't think the bible says he was tied on to his bed. The sick man never said anything to Jesus.

exx1976In 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."

Cous2492The 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.

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

12131 Clue #7: It's going to be either Jesus or the paralytic, and nothing else. That's pretty darn narrowed down.

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

lbaker45If he had a palsy, why wasn't he shaking?

lbaker45Jesus didn't help him up.

Sig Sauer KrautIt 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.

Sigfan RoyIn 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.
March 11, 2017, 11:45 AM
Sig Sauer KrautOk. 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.

Cous2492The paralyzed man has large forearms and calves. Should have very little muscle since he hasn't moved in 20 years.

DakorWhy 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.

architectIt 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.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! Winner winner chicken dinner!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.
Thank you everyone for participating. I really appreciate it.
