A.T. Robertson Commentary Mark 2:3

"And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four." — Mark 2:3 (ASV)

And they come (κα ερχοντα). Fine illustration of Mark's vivid dramatic historical present preserved by Luke Lu 5:18, but not by Mt 9:2 (imperfect).

Borne by four (αιρομενον υπο τεσσαρων). Another picturesque Markan detail not in the others.
