Mark 2:6

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 2:1-12

We read the history of this miracle in Matthew nine. See Poole on "Matthew 9:1", and following verses to Matthew 9:8, having there taken in those passages in this evangelist’s relation which Matthew had not, I shall only take notice of some few things not there touched upon. He preached the word unto them; the word of God, the gospel. There are other words, but that is the word, Matthew 13:20; Mark 8:32; Mark 16:20; Luke 1:2; Acts 17:11; the most excellent word, and the only word to be... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 2:1-12

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 2:1. It was noised.—It was heard, He is in the house, or at home. Perhaps the house already mentioned, viz. Simon’s (Mark 1:29); but more probably His own homestead.Mark 2:4. Come nigh unto Him.—Bring (him) to Him.Mark 2:5. Thy sins be.—Have been forgiven thee. Doubtless the man himself was more anxious about his state in the sight of God than about his bodily ailments.Mark 2:7. Blasphemies.—Why doth this man talk thus? He blasphemeth! They had yet to learn the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 2:1-12

Mark 2:1-12 Note here: I. The helplessness of some men. All helplessness traceable to sin. II. The social usefulness of some other men. We can all carry sufferers to Christ, even when we cannot heal them ourselves. To point a sinner to Christ is a good work; to carry a little child to the Saviour is to execute a most blessed mission. III. The possibilities of earnestness. These men uncovered the roof in their determination to approach the Healer. IV. The vigilance of Jesus Christ over human... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 2:1-28

Now,And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house ( Mark 2:1 ).So, word went around Jesus is in the house over there.And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them ( Mark 2:2 ).I like that. "He preached the word unto them." What else is there to preach? Well, all you have to do is listen to television and the radio, and you'll... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 2:1-28

Mark 2:4 . They uncovered the roof. Houses in the east have mostly flat roofs on which they walk for the benefit of the air. They have but a narrow door, and seldom a window to the street. All their lower windows are toward the gardens. Mark 2:7 . Who can forgive sins but God only. When Nathan came to David he said, “The Lord hath put away thy sin, thou shalt not die.” The pharisees on hearing Christ, being learned in the law, said, “this man blasphemeth.” What would they have said to... read more

Mark 2:1-12And again He entered into Capernaum.The general ministry of ChristChrist’s apparent delays are only the maturings of time-the ripenings of opportunity. He will come, not when impatient men think best, but when His wisdom determines: neither too soon nor too late.I. Where Christ is desired Christ comes. He visits with equal readiness every willing heart. In penitent and submissive natures He finds His favourite haunts.II. Christ’s presence in the house cannot be concealed. Holy... read more

Mark 2:6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts.Reasons in reserveAll true religion is located in the heart. Where the human heart goes the human life will go. The New Testament is a revelation addressed to the heart. Our Lord Jesus Christ was “set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against, that the thoughts of many hearts may he revealed.” This story is remarkable for the exhibition it makes:(1) Of enterprise... read more

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Ver. 6. But there were certain of the scribes ] Little do preachers know when they preach, what hearers sit before them. Araneo fel est, quod api mel. Some of our hearers carry fel in aure, as it is said of some creatures, they carry their gall in their ears. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Mark 2:6

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,But certain of the scribes — See whence the first offence cometh! As yet not one of the plain unlettered people were offended. They all rejoiced in the light, till these men of learning came, to put darkness for light, and light for darkness. Wo to all such blind guides! Good had it been for these if they had never been born. O God, let me never offend one of thy simple ones! Sooner let my tongue cleave to the... read more
