Mark 2:1 - Exposition

The first sentence of this verse is better rendered thus: And when he entered again ( εἰσελθῶν πάλιν ) into Capernaum after some days; literally, after days ( δι ̓ ἡμερῶν ). It is probable that a considerable interval had taken place since the events recorded in the former chapter. It was noised that he was in the house ( ὅτι εἰς οἶκόν ἐστὶ ); or, if the ὅτι be regarded as recitative, it was noised, He is in the house , at home , in his usual place of residence at Capernaum.
