2: And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
dropsy.
2: And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the
dropsy.
A certain man before him. In what way he came there we know not. He
might have been one of the Pharisee's family, or might have been placed
there by the Pharisees to see whether he would heal him. This last
supposition is not improbable, since it is said in Lk 14:1 that
they watched him.
The dropsy. A disease produced by the accumulation of water in various parts of the body; very distressing, and commonly incurable.
