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 And [when he] entered again into Capernaum after [some] days, it became known that he was at home.

2 And many had gathered, so that [there was] no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them.

3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four [of them].

4 And [when] they were not able to bring [him] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And [after] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.

5 And [when] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
