They had come from nearly every village in Galilee and Judea, even as far away as Jerusalem, to be there. The healing power of God was on him. 18 Some men arrived carrying a paraplegic on a stretcher. They were looking for a way to get into the house and set him before Jesus. When they couldn’t find a way in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof, removed some tiles, and let him down in the middle of everyone, right in front of Jesus. Impressed by their bold belief, he said, “Friend, I forgive your sins.” 21 That set the religion scholars and Pharisees buzzing. “Who does he think he is? That’s blasphemous talk! God and only God can forgive sins.” 22 Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking and said, “Why all this gossipy whispering? Which is simpler: to say ‘I forgive your sins,’ or to say ‘Get up and start walking’? Well, just so it’s clear that I’m the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both. . . .” He now spoke directly to the paraplegic: “Get up. Take your bedroll and go home.” Without a moment’s hesitation, he did it – got up, took his blanket, and left for home, giving glory to God all the way. The people rubbed their eyes, incredulous – and then also gave glory to God. Awestruck, they said, “We’ve never seen anything like that!”      (MSG Translation)Questions1.    What is “paraplegia”?

How does the gospel distinctly impact the city of Jerusalem in Acts 1–7 and provide an alternative community (city)—the kingdom of God made manifest? In order to successfully answer this issue, identify 3 specific ways that the Jewish community of faith under the Messiah stands in sharp contrast to the community of Jews under its religious/political elite with its leaders. Bring in your readings/research of first-century Jerusalem from the Dictionary of New Testament Background as well as from Acts 1–7. Present these contrasts as 2 opposing columns or as consecutive/matching numbers.Present 3 things that characterize those Jews who rejected the Messiah in Jerusalem, using Acts 1–7 and your dictionary readings as support. In addition, present 3 things that characterize those Jews who have embraced the gospel. Each of the 3 characterizations should stand in clear contrast to their alternate, and each characterization should contain 1–3 sentences that are thoughtful, clear, and supported by your readings (cite specific texts/sources).
