This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
33. ὅλη ἡ πόλις. Popular hyperbole, like πᾶσα and πάντες in Mar 1:5, and πάντες in Mar 1:37.

ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν. “Flocked towards the door and formed a dense crowd there.” Note the periphrastic tense (Mar 1:6; Mar 1:22), and the double compound; one concourse came on the top of another. Cf. ἐπισυνάγαγε ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν (Psa 106:47). Mt., as often, omits the dense crowds which impeded Christ.
