The Bible story
Friends Lower a Man Through the Roof
So many people crowded into the house where Jesus was teaching that four men could not carry their paralyzed friend to Him. They dug through the roof and lowered him down on his mat. Jesus forgave his sins and told him to get up, and the man picked up his mat and walked out in front of everyone.
Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.
— Mark 2:4 (BSB)
