1
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2
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.
3
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Commentary
Ellicott’s Commentary for English ReadersII.
(1) **And again he entered into Capernaum.**—See Notes on Matthew 9:1-8. St. Mark alone names Capernaum, St. Matthew describing it as “His own city.” The house may have been Peter’s, as before in Mark 1:29.
