Mark 3:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 3:6

4 Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

5 And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the ^ahardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored¹ as whole as the other.

6 ^aThen the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with ^bthe Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

A Great Multitude Follows Jesus

7 But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, ^aand from Judea

8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how ^amany things He was doing, came to Him.

9 So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.

10 For He healed ^amany, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to ^btouch Him.

11 ^aAnd the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, ^b“You are the Son of God.”

12 But ^aHe sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.

The Twelve Apostles

13 ^aAnd He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.

14 Then He appointed twelve,¹ that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,

15 and to have¹ power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
