Contextual Overview
1A few days later, Jesus rode back to Capernaum and news spread quickly that he was back in the home country.
2So many people gathered at the house Jesus was at that there was no longer any room to stand, not even by the door. But Jesus preached the good news to all who were there and could hear him.
3Some people brought a paralyzed fellow to see him, but they couldn't even get in the house.
4These guys were so adamant about getting their friend to Jesus that they climbed up on the roof and dug out the section right above where he was talking. They lowered their friend on a stretcher right down in front of him. Jesus smiled and admired their boldness and their faith.
5He said to the paralyzed man, "Your sins have been forgotten."
6There were some religious experts watching and they were all thinking,
7"Who does this cowboy think he is? Only God can forgive sins."
8Quick as a cow kick, Jesus knew exactly what these so called "religious experts" were thinking. He decided to clear the air. He asked them, "Why are your thoughts so screwed up with what I just did?
9Is it easier to say that a man's sins are forgotten or is it easier to tell him to get up and walk?

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.
