Gill's Notes on the Bible
But there were certain of the Scribes sitting there,.... In the upper room where Jesus was, to watch and observe what he said:, and did:
and reasoning in their hearts; upon the above words of Christ, in the following manner.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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. 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.
Son - Literally, “child.” The Hebrews used the words “son” and “child” with a great latitude of signification. They were applied to children, to grandchildren, to adopted children, to any descendants, to disciples, followers, young people, and to dependents. See the notes at Matthew 1:1. In this place it denotes affection or kindness. It was a word of consolation - an endearing appellation, applied by the Saviour to the sick man to show his “compassion,” to inspire confidence, and to assure him that he would heal him.
We never saw it on this fashion - Literally, “We never saw it so.” We never saw anything like this.
