Marcos 2:2

2 Então muita gente se reuniu ali, de forma que não havia lugar nem junto à porta; e ele lhes pregava a palavra.

Marcos 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 2:2

And straightway many were gathered together
From all parts of the city,

insomuch that there was no room to receive them;
in the house: by which it should seem to be a large one, though not large enough to hold such a numerous company as were got together:

no, not so much as about the door;
or the places before the door, the porch, the court, or courtyard. The crowd was so great, that neither the house, nor the out places before, could hold them, nor could they come even near the door;

and he preached the word unto them.
The Ethiopic version renders it, "he spake his own word to them that came to him"; he preached the Gospel, the word of grace and truth, of life and salvation, to as many as could come near him, and were within the hearing of him. To me it seems, that our Lord went up into an upper room, and out of the window preached to the people, that were, in great numbers, without doors; and the following narrative seems to confirm this conjecture.

Marcos 2:2 In-Context

1 Poucos dias depois, tendo Jesus entrado novamente em Cafarnaum, o povo ouviu falar que ele estava em casa.

2 Então muita gente se reuniu ali, de forma que não havia lugar nem junto à porta; e ele lhes pregava a palavra.

3 Vieram alguns homens, trazendo-lhe um paralítico, carregado por quatro deles.

4 Não podendo levá-lo até Jesus, por causa da multidão, removeram parte da cobertura do lugar onde Jesus estava e, pela abertura no teto, baixaram a maca em que estava deitado o paralítico.

5 Vendo a fé que eles tinham, Jesus disse ao paralítico: “Filho, os seus pecados estão perdoados”.
