Someone in the crowd in Capernaum

Replying to @matthew

Then he told him to get up, take his mat and go home. And he did. Watched him walk out with it. The whole room was praising God. Proper scenes.

Replying to @matthew

The whole area is talking about nothing else.

Synagogue, Sabbath. He teaches like he actually has authority, nothing like the teachers of the law. Then a man with an evil spirit starts shouting that he knows who Jesus is. Jesus tells it to be quiet and get out. It goes.

Replying to @crowd.capernaum

Honestly, it’s all over Galilee already.

Replying to @thefour

I was literally there. Never seen anything like it.

Replying to @capernaum.beach

Heard. And the teacher from Nazareth, the one John baptised, has moved here. To Capernaum.

Replying to @capernaum.beach

The time has come. God’s kingdom is close. Turn back to God and believe the good news. He says it everywhere he goes.

Replying to @teacheroflaw.capernaum

No offence. But you know what he means. Everyone felt it.

A man’s just started shouting in the middle of the synagogue. It’s an evil spirit. It’s yelling at Jesus, asking what he wants with them. Has he come to destroy them?

Replying to @crowd.capernaum

He’s told it to be quiet and come out. That’s all. Be quiet. Come out.

Replying to @capernaum.nextdoor

We brought ours. Everyone did. Every kind of illness you can think of.

Evil spirits coming out of people, shouting that he’s the Son of God. He tells them off and won’t let them say another word.

Walked out at first light to find him. Half of Capernaum did. We asked him to stay.

Replying to @luke

We only just got him.

Squeezed into the house where he’s teaching. There is no room. None. People are standing outside the door as well.

Something is happening to the ceiling. Right above Jesus. Someone’s up there taking it apart.

Replying to @crowd.capernaum

There’s a hole. There’s daylight. There are faces looking down.

He looked at the man on the mat and said: take heart, son. Your sins are forgiven.

Replying to @cantgetin

He said his sins are forgiven.

Replying to @cantgetin

No. He’s still lying there. That’s all he said.

Replying to @capernaum.synagogue

He’s just turned to them and asked why they’re thinking these things. None of them had said anything.

Replying to @capernaum.synagogue

So you know the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, he says. Then he turns back to the man on the mat.

Dude just stood up, picked up his mat and walked out. Past all of us.

Replying to @thecrowds

Everyone’s praising God. Everyone. Inside and out.
