Mk 1:29-2:12

• v30: Peter (a.k.a Simon) was married; I wonder why there's no mentioning of his wife anywhere;
• v30-34: Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law and many others; drove out many demons;
• v35: Jesus got up before daybreak to pray in a solitary place;
• v38: Jesus wanted to go elsewhere when everyone in the villages was looking for him; he came to preach, not just to heal the sicks;
• v45: again Jesus switch places when his name is known for healing a leper;
• 2:1-12: Jesus healed a Paralytic
• in Capernaum; Jesus preached in a room;
  
• a paralytic was carried by 4 men;
• they had to find a creative way to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd;
• so they dig a hole in the roof and lower the men in a mat to Jesus;
• Jesus saw their faith (v5);
• Which is easier?
  
• to heal, or
• to forgive sins
• Jesus did both (first he forgave the sins of the men, then healed his paralysis);
• the crowd was amazed and praised God!
