(See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070649/0/0">study note on Joh 6:1</a>.) It lies on average 210 m (700 ft) below sea level. It is 21 km (13 mi) long from N to S and 12 km (8 mi) wide from E to W, and its greatest depth is about 48 m (160 ft). <strong>Gennesaret</strong> is the name of a small plain bordering the NW shore of the lake.

The forms of the Greek verbs used in this verse convey the idea that prayer was an ongoing habit for Jesus.

Matthew mentions nothing about the man’s being lowered through the roof, while Mark explains that the man’s friends removed the roof and dug an opening through which they lowered the man on a stretcher. Luke says that the man was lowered “through the tiling.” (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070649/15/0">study note on Mr 2:4</a>.) The Greek word rendered “tiling” (<em>keʹra·mos</em>) can refer to “clay,” the material that the tiles were made of, but here the plural form of the Greek word seems to refer to “roof tiles.” There is evidence that tiled roofs were used in ancient Israel. While it is not possible to say exactly what kind of roof the accounts of Mark and Luke describe, the individual tiles may have been put on the mud roof or somehow embedded in it. In any case, the accounts clearly convey that the friends of the paralyzed man went to great lengths to put him before Jesus. These acts no doubt showed the depth of their faith, for all three accounts mention that Jesus “saw their faith.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070649/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b">Lu
