Neville Goddard on Mark 2:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

4And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

Mark 2:3-4

Biblical Context

In Mark 2:3-4, a paralytic is carried to Jesus. When the crowd blocks access, his friends uncover the roof and lower the bed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 2:3-4 invites us to see the healing not as a distant miracle, but as a revision in consciousness. The paralytic is your mind bound by a belief in lack or limitation; the four bearers symbolize the stubborn weights of habit, memory, fear, and doubt that you permit to carry that belief. The crowded room and the roof-tilting act reveal that true access comes not by external proximity but by interior action—you lift the roof with imagination and permit the higher I AM to enter your field of awareness. When they lower the bed, it is your old state being brought under the light of inner awareness, and Jesus (the I AM) speaks not from distance but from within, forgiving and restoring. Healing, in this light, is a state of consciousness affirmed by feeling and revision: you are not at the mercy of the crowd; you are the one who commands your inner world. Return to the certainty that you are already healed in imagination, and your external life follows.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of this healing now; imagine the roof of your mind lifting and the I AM descending, carrying away limitation as you declare, 'I am whole'.
