HEALING OF A PARALYTIC. ( = Mat 9:1-8; Luk 5:17-26). (Mar 2:1-12)
And again he entered into Capernaum--"His own city" (Mat 9:1).
and it was noised that he was in the house--no doubt of Simon Peter (Mar 1:29). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Into Capernaum - See the notes at Mat 4:13.
After some days - The number of days is not known. Jesus probably remained long enough in the desert to heal the sick who were brought to him, and to give instructions to the multitudes who attended his preaching. Capernaum was not "the city" mentioned in Mar 1:45, and it is probable that there was no difficulty in his remaining there and preaching.
And it was noised ... - He entered the city, doubtless, privately; but his being there was soon known, and so great had his popularity become that multitudes pressed to hear him. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
It was noised (ἠκούσθη)
Lit., it was heard.
That he was in the house (ὅτι εἰς οἶκόν ἐστιν)
The ὅτι, that, is recitative, introducing the report in the direct form. It was reported - he is in the house! The preposition in is literally into, carrying the idea of the motion preceding the stay in the house. "He has gone into the house, and is there." But the best texts read ἐν οἴκῳ in the house. The account of this rumor is peculiar to Mark.
He preached (ἐλάλει)
Lit., spake, as Rev. Imperfect tense. He was speaking when the occurrence which follows took place. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And again - After having been in desert places for some time, he returned privately to the city. In the house - In Peter's house. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| In the house - The house of Peter, with whom Christ lodged when at Capernaum. See the notes on Mat 4:13; Mat 8:13. |
29 And [2532] forthwith [2112], when they were come [1831] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], they entered [2064] into [1519] the house [3614] of Simon [4613] and [2532] Andrew [406], with [3326] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491].
1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172].
1 And [2532] again [3825] he entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584] after [1223] some days [2250]; and [2532] it was noised [191] that [3754] he was [2076] in [1519] the house [3624].
2 And [2532] straightway [2112] many [4183] were gathered together [4863], insomuch that [5620] there was [5562] no [3371] room to receive [5562] them, no, not so much [3366] as about [4314] the door [2374]: and [2532] he preached [2980] the word [3056] unto them [846].
3 And [2532] they come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], bringing [5342] one sick of the palsy [3885], which was borne [142] of [5259] four [5064].
4 And [2532] when they could [1410] not [3361] come nigh [4331] unto him [846] for [1223] the press [3793], they uncovered [648] the roof [4721] where [3699] he was [2258]: and [2532] when they had broken it up [1846], they let down [5465] the bed [2895] wherein [1909] [3739] the sick of the palsy [3885] lay [2621].
5 When [1161] Jesus [2424] saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [3004] unto the sick of the palsy [3885], Son [5043], thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
6 But [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] sitting [2521] there [1563], and [2532] reasoning [1260] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588],
7 Why [5101] doth [2980] this [3778] man thus [3779] speak [2980] blasphemies [988]? who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266] but [1508] God [2316] only [1520]?
8 And [2532] immediately [2112] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] in his [846] spirit [4151] that [3754] they so [3779] reasoned [1260] within [1722] themselves [1438], he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] reason ye [1260] these things [5023] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
9 Whether [5101] is it [2076] easier [2123] to say [2036] to the sick of the palsy [3885], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]?
10 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he saith [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],)
11 I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] go thy way [5217] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
12 And [2532] immediately [2112] he arose [1453], took up [142] the bed [2895], and [2532] went forth [1831] before [1726] them all [3956]; insomuch that [5620] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], [3754] We [1492] never [3763] saw [1492] it on this fashion [3779].
17 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], as [2532] he [846] was [2258] teaching [1321], that [2532] there were [2258] Pharisees [5330] and [2532] doctors of the law [3547] sitting by [2521], which [3739] were [2258] come [2064] out of [1537] every [3956] town [2968] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] Judaea [2449], and [2532] Jerusalem [2419]: and [2532] the power [1411] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] present to [1519] heal [2390] them [846].
18 And [2532], behold [2400], men [435] brought [5342] in [1909] a bed [2825] a man [444] which [3739] was [2258] taken with a palsy [3886]: and [2532] they sought [2212] means to bring [1533] him [846] in [1533], and [2532] to lay [5087] him before [1799] him [846].
19 And [2532] when they could [2147] not [3361] find [2147] by [1223] what [4169] way they might bring [1533] him [846] in [1533] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], they went [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and let [2524] him [846] down [2524] through [1223] the tiling [2766] with [4862] his couch [2826] into [1519] the midst [3319] before [1715] Jesus [2424].
20 And [2532] when he saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [2036] unto him [846], Man [444], thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863] thee [4671].
21 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] began [756] to reason [1260], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] which [3739] speaketh [2980] blasphemies [988]? Who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266], but [1508] God [2316] alone [3441]?
22 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] their [846] thoughts [1261], he answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], What [5101] reason ye [1260] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
23 Whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043]?
24 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] upon [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3886] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] couch [2826], and go [4198] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
25 And [2532] immediately [3916] he rose up [450] before [1799] them [846], and took up [142] that whereon [1909] [3739] he lay [2621], and departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624], glorifying [1392] God [2316].
26 And [2532] they were [2983] all [537] amazed [1611], and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], and [2532] were filled [4130] with fear [5401], saying [3004], [3754] We have seen [1492] strange things [3861] to day [4594].
1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], they brought [4374] to him [846] a man sick of the palsy [3885], lying [906] on [1909] a bed [2825]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] seeing [1492] their [846] faith [4102] said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3885]; Son [5043], be of good cheer [2293]; thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
3 And [2532], behold [2400], certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] said [2036] within [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] man blasphemeth [987].
4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761] said [2036], Wherefore [2444] think [1760] ye [5210] evil [4190] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
5 For [1063] whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] walk [4043]?
6 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (then [5119] saith he [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],) Arise [1453], take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2825], and [2532] go [5217] unto [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
7 And [2532] he arose [1453], and departed [565] to [1519] his [846] house [3624].
8 But [1161] when the multitudes [3793] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], which [3588] had given [1325] such [5108] power [1849] unto men [444].
45 But [1161] he went out [1831], and began [756] to publish [2784] it much [4183], and [2532] to blaze abroad [1310] the matter [3056], insomuch that [5620] Jesus [846] could [1410] no more [3371] openly [5320] enter [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], but [235] was [2258] without [1854] in [1722] desert [2048] places [5117]: and [2532] they came [2064] to [4314] him [846] from every quarter [3836].
13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]:
13 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto the centurion [1543], Go thy way [5217]; and [2532] as [5613] thou hast believed [4100], so be it done [1096] unto thee [4671]. And [2532] his [846] servant [3816] was healed [2390] in [1722] the selfsame [1565] hour [5610].
13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]:
