SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:2
Y luego se juntaron a l muchos, que ya no cabían ni aun a la puerta; y les predicaba la Palabra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 2:2
Verse 2. So much as about the door] Meaning the yard or court before the house. Preached THE WORD] ton logon. The doctrine of the kingdom of God; for so o logov is repeatedly used.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And straightway many were gathered together , etc..] From all parts of the city, insomuch that there was no room to receive them ; in the house: by which it should seem to be a large one, though not large enough to hold such a numerous company as were got together: no, not so much as about the door ; or the places before the door, the porch, the court, or courtyard. The crowd was so great, that neither the house, nor the out places before, could hold them, nor could they come even near the door; and he preached the word unto them . The Ethiopic version renders it, he spake his own word to them that came to him; he preached the Gospel, the word of grace and truth, of life and salvation, to as many as could come near him, and were within the hearing of him. To me it seems, that our Lord went up into an upper room, and out of the window preached to the people, that were, in great numbers, without doors; and the following narrative seems to confirm this conjecture.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-12 - It was this man's misery that he needed to be so carried, and shows the suffering state of human life; it was kind of those who so carried him and teaches the compassion that should be in men, toward their fellow-creatures in distress. True faith and strong faith may work i various ways; but it shall be accepted and approved by Jesus Christ Sin is the cause of all our pains and sicknesses. The way to remove the effect, is to take away the cause. Pardon of sin strikes at the root of all diseases. Christ proved his power to forgive sin, by showing his power to cure the man sick of the palsy. And his curing diseases was figure of his pardoning sin, for sin is the disease of the soul; when it is pardoned, it is healed. When we see what Christ does in healin souls, we must own that we never saw the like. Most men thin themselves whole; they feel no need of a physician, therefore despis or neglect Christ and his gospel. But the convinced, humbled sinner who despairs of all help, excepting from the Saviour, will show his faith by applying to him without delay.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:2 {So that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door} (hwste meketi cwrein mede ta pros ten quran). Another graphic Markan detail seen through Peter's eyes. The double compound negative in the Greek intensifies the negative. this house door apparently opened into the street, not into a court as in the larger houses. The house was packed inside and there was a jam outside. {And he spake the word unto them} (kai elalei autois ton logon). And he was speaking the word unto them, Mark's favorite descriptive imperfect tense (elalei). Note this word lalew about the preaching of Jesus (originally just sounds like the chatter of birds, the prattling of children, but here of the most serious kind of speech. As contrasted with legw (to say) it is rather an onomatopoetic word with some emphasis on the sound and manner of speaking. The word is com- mon in the vernacular papyri examples of social inter-course.
