Teaching the Capernaum Miracle
This famous story from the Gospels of Mark and Luke takes place in a crowded first-century house in Capernaum. When teaching children about this event, you can use these coloring sheets to illustrate the sequence of the narrative. The visual progression helps young learners understand how the events unfolded step by step.
Start with the friends carrying the man up the outside stairs, move to the lowering of the stretcher, and end with the man walking away.
Historical Details to Color

Ideas for Sunday School Lessons
These printables work well as a quiet activity while reading the scripture aloud. You can ask students to color the healed man carrying his bed and discuss the themes of faith and friendship demonstrated by the four men who would not let a crowded room stop them from helping their friend.
Have the children point out the expressions of amazement on the faces of the bystanders as the man leaps with joy.
Coloring the Ancient Setting
Earth tones are ideal for bringing these historical scenes to life. Use shades of brown, tan, and terracotta for the mud-brick walls and wooden roof beams.
Crayons and colored pencils are great for adding texture to the stone walls and the woven fabric of the stretcher. Bright colors can be saved for the clothing of the main characters to make them stand out against the ancient background.
