Through the Roof | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the man let down through the roof, built around the Savior’s words: “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee” (Mark 2:5).

Follow a numbered map from the crowded door to the man walking home, then look closer at the details. Context and two Greek words help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the house, the blocked door, the mat, the four friends, the ladder, the roof, the ropes, their faith and the walk home
• Where are you in the house? Needing to be carried, carrying a friend, blocked at the door, or carrying a burden of sin, with check-ins
• Four friends, one roof: put the rescue in order, with space for someone you can help
• Their world, their words: flat roofs, palsy, the scribes’ question, forgiven first, and the Greek words for “forgive” and “bed”
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts
• Seek Him today: the Savior’s words, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Mark 2, lessons on ministering, friendship and forgiveness, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
