Four Bring One to Christ

Mark 2:3-4 - And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

NOTE: Let no one claim he has come to Christ who himself is not willing to bring others, regardless of the difficulty.

Mark 2:10-11 - But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

"But that ye may know..." Miracles are always confirmatory signs of the message and the messenger. Same note at Matthew 11:2-5.

Mark 2:21 - No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

See note at Matthew 9:16-17.
