I say unto you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.
All Commentaries on Mark 2:11 Go To Mark 2
Peter Chrysologus
AD 450
Take up your bed. Carry the very mat that once carried you. Change places, so that what was the proof of your sickness may now give testimony to your soundness. Your bed of pain becomes the sign of healing, its very weight the measure of the strength that has been restored to you. :.
