‏ Mark 2:1

The Healing of a Paralytic.

After preaching in the countryside, Jesus returned to Capernaum, which was like his home base. Even though he may have hoped the crowds would be smaller, people quickly heard he was back and gathered in great numbers. This story shows the faith of friends, the power of Jesus to forgive sins, and how Jesus’ miracles amazed everyone.

v. 1-2: When people heard that Jesus was in the house, they came right away. The house was so full that there was no room, not even near the door. Jesus welcomed them and preached the word to them. Even though some came just to see miracles or out of curiosity, Jesus always gave them the message they needed (Isaiah 32:20 a).
