Commentary

Matthew Henry on Mark 2:1-12

Christ, having been for some time preaching about in the country, here returns to Capernaum his head-quarters, and makes his appearance there, in hopes that by this time the talk and crowd would be somewhat abated. Now observe, I. The great resort there was to him. Though he was in the house, wither Peter's house, or some lodgings of his own which he had taken, yet people came to him as soon as it was noised that he was in town; they did not stay till he appeared in the synagogue, which they might be sure he would do on the sabbath day, but straightway many were gathered together to him. Where the king is, there is the court; where Shiloh is, there shall the gathering of the people be. In im…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Mark 2:11

I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house--This taking up the portable couch, and walking home with it, was designed to prove the completeness of the cure.

Adam Clarke on Mark 2:7

Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? - See this explained Mat 9:3 (note), etc.

John Gill on Mark 2:11

John Calvin on Mark 2:1-12

Mark 2:1-12 Matthew 9:1-8 Mark 2:1-12 Luke 5:17-26 1. And entering into a ship, he passed over, and came into his own city. 2. And, lo, they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Take courage, my son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 3. And, lo, some of the scribes said among themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4. And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5. For whether is it easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6. But that you may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go…

The Church Fathers

You have been a paralytic inwardly. You did not take charge of your bed. Your bed took charge of you.
— Augustine of Hippo, ON THE PSALMS 41.4

He charged the man to perform an action of which health was the necessary condition, even while the patient was still praying for a remedy for his disease.… It was our Lord's custom to require of those whom he healed some response or duty to be done.
— Ambrose of Milan, Exposition of the Christian Faith 4.5.54-55

Take up your bed. Carry the very mat that once carried you. Change places, so that what was the proof of your sickness may now give testimony to your soundness. Your bed of pain becomes the sign of healing, its very weight the measure of the strength that has been restored to you.
— Peter Chrysologus, HOMILY 50.6
