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, "Stand up and take your mat 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, stand up, take your mat and go to your home."

12 And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

13 Jesus went out again beside the sea; the whole crowd gathered around him, and he taught them.
