And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
So these guys show up carrying their friend on a stretcher, he was paralyzed and couldn't walk. They were determined to get him in front of Jesus, doing whatever it took to make it happen.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is carry your friends to the place where healing happens.
