THE MESSAGE
After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he was back home. A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word. They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men. When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher. Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, "Son, I forgive your sins."

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?
10But just so you know that God's Top Hand has the authority on earth to forget sins . . ." He turned to the paralyzed man and said,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days,.... After he had been preaching in the synagogues throughout Galilee, and after he had spent some days in prayer, and private retirement in desert places: and it was noised that he was in, the house; a report was spread throughout the city that he was in the house of Simon and Andrew, where he was before, and where he used to be when in Capernaum.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Into Capernaum - See the notes at Matthew 4:13.
After some days - The number of days is not known. Jesus probably remained long enough in the desert to heal the sick who were brought to him, and to give instructions to the multitudes who attended his preaching. Capernaum was not “the city” mentioned in Mark 1:45, and it is probable that there was no difficulty in his remaining there and preaching.
And it was noised ... - He entered the city, doubtless, privately; but his being there was soon known, and so great had his popularity become that multitudes pressed to hear him.
