Marcos 2:2

2 Y luego se juntaron á él muchos, que ya no cabían ni aun á la puerta; y les predicaba la palabra.

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 Y ENTRO otra vez en Capernaum después de algunos días, y se oyó que estaba en casa.

2 Y luego se juntaron á él muchos, que ya no cabían ni aun á la puerta; y les predicaba la palabra.

3 Entonces vinieron á él unos trayendo un paralítico, que era traído por cuatro.

4 Y como no podían llegar á él á causa del gentío, descubrieron el techo de donde estaba, y haciendo abertura, bajaron el lecho en que yacía el paralítico.

5 Y viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dice al paralítico: Hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados.
