F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 3:1-99

Mark 3 THE PHARISEES HOWEVER were by no means convinced, and they re-opened the whole question a little later when on another sabbath He came into contact with human need in one of their synagogues. The conflict raged around the man with a withered hand. They watched Jesus anticipating that they would be furnished with a point of attack. He accepted the challenge which lay unspoken in their hearts by saying to the man, “Stand forth” (v. Mar_3:3 ), thus making him very prominent, and ensuring... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 3:20-21

The friends of Jesus think Him out of His senses: v. 20. And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. v. 21. And when His friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said, He is beside Himself. No sooner had Jesus returned to the city and to the house, no sooner had He come home, than a crowd again assembled. So urgent were they in their demand to see Him that Christ and His disciples were not even given time to partake of the... read more

Mark ‘HE IS BESIDE HIMSELF’ Mar_3:21 . There had been great excitement in the little town of Capernaum in consequence of Christ’s teachings and miracles. It had been intensified by His infractions of the Rabbinical Sabbath law, and by His appointment of the twelve Apostles. The sacerdotal party in Capernaum apparently communicated with Jerusalem, with the result of bringing a deputation from the Sanhedrim to look into things, and see what this new rabbi was about. A plot for His... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 3:20-35

Brother to All Who Will Mark 3:20-35 ; Mark 4:1-9 The Pharisees circulated this infamous charge-not because they believed it, but to satisfy the questions that were being asked on all sides. What they affirmed they knew to be untrue; but for selfish reasons they would not confess what they really thought. Such denial of truth is a deadly and unpardonable sin, because it injures the sensitiveness of conscience and produces moral death. Family ties, Mark 3:31-35 . The family of Jesus needed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 3:1-35

This is one of the few occasions on which it is said that Christ was angry. Particularly note the reason for His anger: "When He had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts." What a picture these next verses give us of the thronging of the crowds! Perhaps there is no other picture in the Gospels quite equal to it for life, and color, and movement. The time had now arrived for setting apart His workers. 1. "He . . . calleth unto Him whom He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:7-21

Amazing Success Brings Fervent Opposition From His Family And Friends (3:7-21). Jesus’ success expands as He continues to build up His forces for the proclamation of the truth and against the powers of evil, although it is at some personal cost and results in those who have known Him from the past deciding that He needs brining under control.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:19-20

‘And he comes into a house, and the great crowd comes together again so that they could not so much as eat food.’ ‘He comes into a house.’ The house may be that of Peter in Capernaum, or it may be the house of a follower in some other town. ‘The great crowd comes together again so that they could not so much as eat bread.’ The ‘again’ may refer back to Mark 3:8 or to Mark 2:2. The idea would seem to be that they brought so many sick folk that it was taking up all the group’s time. The fact that... read more
