Mark 2:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 2:1

And again he entered into Capernaum after some days
After he had been preaching in the synagogues throughout Galilee, and after he had spent some days in prayer, and private retirement in desert places: and it was noised that he was in, the house; a report was spread throughout the city that he was in the house of Simon and Andrew, where he was before, and where he used to be when in Capernaum.

Mark 2:1 In-Context

1 After a few days, Jesus went back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home.

2 So many gathered that there was no longer space, not even near the door. Jesus was speaking the word to them.

3 Some people arrived, and four of them were bringing to him a man who was paralyzed.

4 They couldn't carry him through the crowd, so they tore off part of the roof above where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven!"
