Mark 2:11 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 2:11

I say unto thee, arise, and take up thy bed
He bid him, in an authoritative way to arise from his bed, in which he was brought, and on which he lay before him, and take it up upon his shoulders, directly, and in the face of all the people, carry it away:

and go thy way into thine house;
to show himself whole to his family and friends, and go about his business; (See Gill on Matthew 9:6),

Mark 2:11 In-Context

9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk'?

10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--he said to the paralytic--

11 "I say to you, get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home."

12 And he got up and immediately picked up his stretcher [and] went out in front of [them] all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen [anything] like this!"

13 And he went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach them.
