Mark 1:33 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:33

And all the city was gathered together at the door.]
That is, the inhabitants of the city of Capernaum, a very great number of them at least, who having either heard of, or seen the dispossession of the unclean spirit in the synagogue in the daytime; and being willing to see what miraculous cures might be wrought by Christ upon the diseased and possessed that were brought to him, got together in great crowds about the door of the house of Simon and Andrew where Jesus now was.

Mark 1:33 In-Context

31 He went to her, took her hand, and raised her up. No sooner had the fever left than she was up fixing dinner for them.
32 That evening, after the sun was down, they brought sick and evil-afflicted people to him,
33 the whole city lined up at his door!
34 He cured their sick bodies and tormented spirits. Because the demons knew his true identity, he didn't let them say a word.
35 While it was still night, way before dawn, he got up and went out to a secluded spot and prayed.
