{At the door} (pros t(886e) thuran). At the door of Peter's
house. The whole city was gathered together there ((886e)
episun(8867)men(882c) past perfect passive periphrastic indicative,
double compound epi and sun). Mark alone mentions this vivid
detail. He is seeing with Peter's eyes again. Peter no doubt
watched the beautiful scene with pride and gratitude as Jesus
stood in the door and healed the great crowds in the glory of
that sunset. He loved to tell it afterwards. {Divers diseases}
(poikilais nosois). See Mt 4:24 about poikilos meaning
many-coloured, variegated. All sorts of sick folk came and were
healed.
