Contextual Overview
1 AND Jesus entered again into Capernaum for a few days; and when they heard that he was in a house, 2 A great many gathered together so that it was impossible to hold them, not even in front of the entrance; so he spoke a few words to them. 3 And they came to him, and brought to him a paralyzed man, carried between four men. 4 But as they were unable to come near him because of the crowd, they went up to the roof and uncovered it over the place where Jesus was; and they lowered the quilt-bed in which the paralyzed man lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, My son, your sins are forgiven. 6 Now some of the scribes and Pharisees were sitting there, and they reasoned in their hearts, 7 Why does this man speak blasphemy? Who can forgive sins except God only? 8 But Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were reasoning among themselves, and he said to them, Why do you reason these things in your heart? 9 Which is the easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up your quilt-bed and walk? 10 But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And straightway many were gathered together,.... From all parts of the city,
insomuch that there was no room to receive them; in the house: by which it should seem to be a large one, though not large enough to hold such a numerous company as were got together:
no, not so much as about the door; or the places before the door, the porch, the court, or courtyard. The crowd was so great, that neither the house, nor the out places before, could hold them, nor could they come even near the door;
and he preached the word unto them. The Ethiopic version renders it, "he spake his own word to them that came to him"; he preached the Gospel, the word of grace and truth, of life and salvation, to as many as could come near him, and were within the hearing of him. To me it seems, that our Lord went up into an upper room, and out of the window preached to the people, that were, in great numbers, without doors; and the following narrative seems to confirm this conjecture.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
So much as about the door - In the “court” or “yard” before the door. They could not get near enough to hear him.
Preached the word unto them - The word of God; the revelation or doctrine which he came to deliver, called “the Word,” and “the Word of God,” because it was spoken or revealed by God. Compare Acts 6:2-7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 2:2. So much as about the door — Meaning the yard or court before the house.
Preached THE WORD] τον λογον. The doctrine of the kingdom of God; for so ο λογος is repeatedly used.
