This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Again into Capernaum after some days (palin eis Kapharnaoum di' hēmerōn). After the first tour of Galilee when Jesus is back in the city which is now the headquarters for the work in Galilee. The phrase di' hēmerōn means days coming in between (dia, duo, two) the departure and return.
In the house (en oikōi). More exactly, at home, in the home of Peter, now the home of Jesus. Another picture directly from Peter’s discourse. Some of the manuscripts have here eis oikon, illustrating the practical identity in meaning of en and eis (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 591-6).
It was noised (ēkousthē). It was heard (first aorist, passive indicative from akouō, to hear). People spread the rumour, “He is at home, he is indoors.”
