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 Is it easier to say to this paralyzed man, "Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk'?

10 I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man,

11 "I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home!"

12 While they all watched, the man got up, picked up his mat, and hurried away. They were all completely amazed and praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

13 Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee. A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them.
