“See this miracle explained in Matthew 9:2-8. Palsy - See the notes at Matthew 4:24. Borne of four - Carried upon a couch Matthew 9:2 by four men. Mark 2:4 The press - The crowd, the multitude of people. Jesus was probably in the large open area or hall in the center of the house. See the notes at Matthew 9:2.

Mark 2:5 Their faith - Their confidence or belief that he could heal them.…”
