Mark 2:12

“And immediately he arose, etc..] Power going along with the words of Christ, he found himself perfectly well; and at once sprung up from off his bed, and took up his bed, upon his shoulders, with all the ease imaginable: and went forth before them all: the Scribes and Pharisees, and the whole multitude of the people, who were eyewitnesses of this wonderful cure: or “against them all”; for being strong and robust, he made his way through the crowd, with his bed on his back; insomuch that they were all amazed; at the power of Christ, and the strength of the man: and glorified God, saying, we never saw it on this fashion; or any thing like this in our days. They easily perceived it was a…”

“And immediately he arose, took up the bed--"Sweet saying!" says BENGEL: "The bed had borne the man: now the man bore the bed." and went forth before them all--proclaiming by that act to the multitude, whose wondering eyes would follow him as he pressed through them, that He who could work such a glorious miracle of healing, must indeed "have power on earth to forgive sins."

The people pressed into the area, and blocked up the door so that they could not have access to him. They uncovered the roof where he was - See the notes at Matthew 9:2. When they had broken it up - When they had removed the awning or covering, so that they could let the man down. See the notes at Matthew 9:2. Mark 2:5 Their faith - Their confidence or belief that he could heal them.…”

“They were all amazed - Even the scribes themselves for a time. Mark 2:13”

“2:12 We’ve never seen anything like this before! Mark consistently records Jesus creating amazement (1:22, 27; 4:41; 6:50-51).”

“insomuch: Mar 1:27; Mat 9:8, Mat 12:23; Luk 7:16 glorified: Mat 15:31; Luk 5:26, Luk 13:13, Luk 17:15; Act 4:21 We never: Mat 9:33; Joh 7:31, Joh 9:32 Mark 2:13”
