" Great idea" Keli said as he looked at the others. " Let's do it".
" Mikno, can you find us some strong ropes and get back as soon as you can?".
A short time later, he returned. They picked up the mat  and carried it quietly up the outer staircase. On top, they picked out a spot where the Rabbi was probably sitting. They attached the ropes to the ends of the mat and then began to punch holes in the reed and dried mud roof.
Jesus was talking when he heard a noise above. As dried mud fell on the floor around him, Jesus looked up to see four men lowering someone who was lying on a mat.
When the mat was fully on the ground, Jesus smiled because of their faith. He stared at the man. " Son, your sins are forgiven". He looked at him with love and forgiveness. " Get up, take your mat and go home".
The man slowly got up, rolled up his mat and then left.
