What Does Mark 1:32 Mean?
Sunset ends the sabbath, and the town has been waiting. The moment the day closes and burdens may be carried, Capernaum converges on Simon's door, bringing its diseased and its demon-oppressed to Jesus. The morning's report from the synagogue has become an evening procession of need.
They came as soon as they could come, and they brought everyone: all that were diseased, all that were bound. No one is screened out as too far gone, too complicated, or too unimportant. The picture is of a whole community's pain funneled toward one Person, and of that Person receiving it. He is not overwhelmed by the volume of human need; he is its remedy.
