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, pick up your stretcher, and walk'?

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

11 "I tell you: get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home."

12 Immediately he got up, picked up the stretcher, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

13 Then Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to Him, and He taught them.
