Mark 2:4
_ _ And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press — or, as in Luke (Luke 5:19), “when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude,” they “went upon the housetop” — the flat or terrace-roof, universal in Eastern houses.
_ _ they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed — or portable couch
_ _ wherein the sick of the palsy lay — Luke (Luke 5:19) says, they “let him down through the tilling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.” Their whole object was to bring the patient into the presence of Jesus; and this not being possible in the ordinary way, because of the multitude that surrounded Him, they took the very unusual method here described of accomplishing their object, and succeeded. Several explanations have been given of the way in which this was done; but unless we knew the precise plan of the house, and the part of it from which Jesus taught — which may have been a quadrangle or open court, within the buildings of which Peter’s house was one, or a gallery covered by a veranda — it is impossible to determine precisely how the thing was done. One thing, however, is clear, that we have both the accounts from an eye-witness. |
Mark 2:4
They uncovered the roof — Or, took up the covering, the lattice or trap door, which was on all their houses, (being flat roofed.) And finding it not wide enough, broke the passage wider, to let down the couch. |
Mark 2:4
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they (c) let down the (d) bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
(c) They broke up the upper part of the house which was made simply, and let down the man that was sick from paralysis into the lower part where Christ preached, for they could not come before Christ in any other way.
(d) The word signifies the poorest kind of bed, upon which men used to lay down at noon, and at such other times to refresh themselves; we call it a couch. |
- they uncovered:
Deuteronomy 22:8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
Luke 5:19 And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Jesus.
