Mark 2:1,2 - There was no room left

2:1

We now get a series of incidents that all involve Jesus in some sort of controversy. The first one is the paralysed man being dropped through the roof. We tend to focus on the way the friends got the man into the house and his healing, but the focus of the text is actually on Jesus’ right to forgive sins.

2:2

Jesus returned to Capernaum, and news that hHe had returned home got around so crowds gathered around the house  There was no room left at all and Jesus “preached the word to them”. So  again we see the importance that Jesus, and Mark, placed on preaching.
