Marcos 3
Phillips writes that Jesus opens a "breathtaking door of opportunity to one and all. The natural family was being replaced by the new family. Anybody could become related to Him in a family tie that was nearer and dearer than any forged by natural birth. Natural ties would be swallowed up in spiritual ties. Henceforth, He would regard anyone who had the same relationship with His Father as He had as being in the new family. His relationship to the Father, while here on earth as a Man among men, was one of obedience (Heb. 10:7+). All who were willing to accept the yoke of obedience would be kin to Him! By natural birth, we are "children of disobedience." We are children of Adam, of whom it is written that it was by one man's disobedience that sin entered and death by sin. To become, instead, children of obedience calls for a new birth, a spiritual birth (John 1:11-13+), as the Lord explained to Nicodemus (John 3:3+). The Lord did not elaborate to His listeners on the "how," just on the "what." The principle of obedience, which characterizes the new family and its relationships, is illustrated in the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. The moment his eyes were opened, he enthroned Jesus as Lord. He said, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" (Acts 9:6+)." (Exploring Acts) Warren

Phillips - So Jesus told his disciples to have a small boat kept in readiness for him, in case the people should crowd him too closely. NET Mark 3:9 Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him so the crowd would not press toward him. GNT Mark 3:9 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν· NLT Mark 3:9 Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready so the crowd would not crush him. KJV Mark 3:9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. ESV Mark 3:9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him, NIV Mark 3:9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. ASV Mark 3:9 And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him: CSB Mark 3:9 Then He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him. NKJ Mark 3:9 So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. NRS Mark 3:9 He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him; YLT Mark 3:9 And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him, NAB Mark 3:9 He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him. NJB Mark 3:9 And he asked his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, to keep him from being crushed. GWN Mark 3:9 Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready so that the crowd would not crush him. BBE Mark 3:9 And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people; because of the crowd: Mk 5:30 Joh 6:15 Mark 3 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries The striking picture portrayed in Mark 3:9-10 is not found in Matthew's parallel account. And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd - Mark alone gives us the detail about a boat. His disciples were described in Mark 2:15, 16, 18, 23 and here clearly are His inner circle of men, not the many "followers" in general, for most of them would prove themselves "pseudo" disciples (cf Jn 6:66). And so the little boat was continually kept in readiness and close to shore so that He might be placed aboard at a moment's notice if it were in imminent danger of being crushed. Mark never says Jesus actually boarded the boat.

Phillips - For he healed so many people that all those who were in pain kept pressing forward to touch him with their hands. NET Mark 3:10 For he had healed many, so that all who were afflicted with diseases pressed toward him in order to touch him. GNT Mark 3:10 πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐθεράπευσεν, ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται ὅσοι εἶχον μάστιγας. NLT Mark 3:10 He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him. KJV Mark 3:10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. ESV Mark 3:10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him. NIV Mark 3:10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. ASV Mark 3:10 for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him. CSB Mark 3:10 Since He had healed many, all who had diseases were pressing toward Him to touch Him. NKJ Mark 3:10 For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him. NRS Mark 3:10 for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. YLT Mark 3:10 for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues; NAB Mark 3:10 He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him. NJB Mark 3:10 For he had cured so many that all who were afflicted in any way were crowding forward to touch him. GWN Mark 3:10 He had cured so many that everyone with a disease rushed up to him in order to touch him. BBE Mark 3:10 For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him. He had healed many: Mt 12:15 14:14 pressed: or, rushed, touched, Mk 5:27,28 6:56 Mt 14:36 Ac 5:15 19:11,12 all those who had afflictions: Mk 5:29 Ge 12:17 Nu 11:33 Lu 7:2 Heb 12:6 Mark 3 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries For (gar) is a term of explanation that explains why the crowd was so large and was pressing in on Him. He had healed many - Matthew says He healed them all (Mt 12:15) and many would indicate that there were many sick/ill following Him and all were healed. Healed (cure)(2323)(therapeuo from therapon = an attendant, servant) in classic Greek originally meant to serve and gradually came to mean “to care” for someone, finally acquiring the meaning most often intended in the NT uses of “to heal” or “render medical treatment” (Mt. 4:24; Mt 12:10; Mk 1:34; Luke 6:7; 10:9) Therapeúō means healing, not merely in the sense of medical treatment, but in the sense of the real healing that the Messiah brings. One could say the original meaning of therapeuo (to serve) combined with the common NT meaning (to heal), in Jesus for even as He said in Mk 10:45 "even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” In that sense, these temporal physical healings by Jesus were but a shadow of the greater spiritual healing He would make possible by giving "His life as a ransom for many." With the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him - The literal reading is quite striking "So that as a result they are falling upon him in order to touch him, as many as were having scourges.” The combination of afflictions and the phrase in order to touch Him would strongly indicate that the people were seeking healing just from His touch but they were not seeking spiritual healing from His teaching. I agree with Liefeld that "The crowd seems to have had little interest in Jesus other than as a miracle-worker. Despite this, He graciously healed many of them." (EBC) The eager, excited, jostling crowd was interested in Jesus meeting their physical needs, but sadly not their spiritual needs! O my! Jesus' heart must have been breaking (cf Mt 9:36+)! Pressed around (epipipto) is in the present tense picturing the crowd continually pressing in on Jesus. And actually the verb pressed around is literally falling upon Him, clearly a potentially dangerous situation! "The sight must have been pathetic. They hoped to obtain a cure even though it might be by a rude collision." (Borrow Wuest's Commentary on Mark)

Phillips - Evil spirits, as soon as they saw him, acknowledged his authority and screamed, "You are the Son of God!" NET Mark 3:11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

Phillips has an interesting comment that Jesus "chose with great care from the ranks of the many who had become His followers those few with whom He intended to spend most of His time for the next year or so. He called; they came. This balance always exists in God's dealings with men. God will woo, but He will not ravish. He will invite, but He will not invade." (Exploring Mark) And they came to Him - There is apparently no delay. He called. They came. Came is the common verb aperchomai which has the prefix "apo-" which speaks of separation and in this context Jesus is calling these men to separate from the larger uncommitted crowd. "It was an invitation to leave the vast crowd and follow Him up the hill." (Borrow Wuest's Commentary) Note that came is in the active voice indicating that these men made a definite volitional choice to come and follow Jesus. And so once again we see the juxtaposition of Divine Sovereignty (effectual call) and Human responsibility (choice of one's will). Hopefully God will explain this mysterious truth to us in Heaven, as Paul alludes to declaring "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known." (1 Cor 13:12). Related Resources: What is the effectual calling/call? Irresistible Grace - is it biblical? What does it mean that God draws us to salvation? Does God pursue us? Ray Stedman on calling and appointing the twelve - These are the twelve whom Jesus selected. It is evident in the contrast between this paragraph and the previous one that Mark wants us to understand that the witness Jesus wanted was not pretentious claims and impressive titles from demons, true as they might have been, but rather he wanted the witness of changed lives and empowered words, of men who had been with him and whose lives were different as a result, who were sent out to say what they had heard and learned, and who therefore had power to speak authoritatively -- even over the demons. This was the witness he chose. It is the witness he chooses yet today. Notice that these twelve men were called to do three things: They were called to a personal experience, first -- to be with him. Jesus never wants anybody to talk about Christianity as an advocate, but always as a witness, i.e., telling of something which has happened to you. If you are merely a salesman on behalf of Christianity, holding it up to be a very fine approach to life or a great moral teaching, then you are an ineffective witness. The Lord doesn't want that. He wants a witness who has had something happen to him. Then they were sent out for purposeful evangelism. They were sent out to preach, to say what they had learned from him. And they were given a powerful exorcism -- they were to cast out demons. That is, they were given something to say, they were sent out to say it, and they were given power over all the opposition. It is extremely interesting that in order to reach the multitudes, our Lord selected only twelve men. That is the way to do it. We often make a great mistake in our day by relying too heavily on mass media. We think we are going to reach the multitudes through all the great inventions which have come along -- radio, television, cassette tapes, etc. As helpful as they are, and rightful as they are in their place, nevertheless they will not take the place of men and women who have had a personal experience with Christ and who tell it but in whatever way they can -- perhaps even through some of these media -- and who have obvious power in their life to overcome the enemy and to stand against all opposition. This is the witness our Lord has chosen. The twelve disciples are listed for us here and their names are familiar. Simon, James, and John are first, and they are all given special names by Jesus. He "surnamed" them, i.e. he chose other names for them. This marks them as belonging to an inner circle within the twelve. You remember how frequently we read after this that when Jesus went to do something special he took with him Peter and James and John. He dealt more intimately with these three than he did with any of the others. Thereby he designated them leaders of this group, the means by which the others would be reached, in that remarkable method which both the Lord and the apostles employed of reaching the few in order to reach the many. Peter he called the "rock"; James and John he called the "sons of thunder." It is instructive to me that when he looked at this group of twelve men, what he saw as being needed in this band was a rock and two loud voices. Peter was the acknowledged leader of the twelve and was the one who ultimately proved to be the rock, the steady one to whom the others looked for leadership and upon whom they relied for guidance, while James was the first of the apostles to be martyred and John was the last, and in-between the apostolic witness was delivered. James left his mark by laying down his life first among the twelve, and John remained until the end to gather up all the apostolic witness, solidify it, and transmit it to us in its final expression in the Gospel of John, the letters of John, and the book of Revelation. So this was the leadership within the twelve, and our Lord dealt with them so that they might be the witness which ultimately would reach not only the multitudes there at hand, but, eventually, all the world. Jesus was content to work with these. (Mark 3:7-35 False Forces) WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HEAR THE CALL OF GOD? First, God calls you to faith in Jesus. You will know this call by the growing desire in your heart to settle the matter of peace with God speedily. Respond to him—answer with a grateful, “Yes, Lord, I need you!” Second, God calls you to service in Jesus’ name. Wherever you are (and sometimes you need to move), whatever you’re doing (and sometimes you need to upgrade your skills), God has a place of service for you. Jesus calls you and he wants you. Answer this call thoughtfully, seriously, in consultation with Christian advisers, “Yes, Lord, I love you and will follow you!” (Bruce Barton - LAC-Mark) Morning, September 10 “And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.” —Mark 3:13 Here was sovereignty. Impatient spirits may fret and fume, because they are not called to the highest places in the ministry; but reader be it thine to rejoice that Jesus calleth whom he wills. If he shall leave me to be a doorkeeper in his house, I will cheerfully bless him for his grace in permitting me to do anything in his service. The call of Christ’s servants comes from above. Jesus stands on the mountain, evermore above the world in holiness, earnestness, love and power. Those whom he calls must go up the mountain to him, they must seek to rise to his level by living in constant communion with him. They may not be able to mount to classic honours, or attain scholastic eminence, but they must like Moses go up into the mount of God and have familiar intercourse with the unseen God, or they will never be fitted to proclaim the gospel of peace. Jesus went apart to hold high fellowship with the Father, and we must enter into the same divine companionship if we would bless our fellowmen. No wonder that the apostles were clothed with power when they came down fresh from the mountain where Jesus was. This morning we must endeavour to ascend the mount of communion, that there we may be ordained to the lifework for which we are set apart. Let us not see the face of man to-day till we have seen Jesus. Time spent with him is laid out at blessed interest. We too shall cast out devils and work wonders if we go down into the world girded with that divine energy which Christ alone can give. It is of no use going to the Lord’s battle till we are armed with heavenly weapons. We must see Jesus, this is essential. At the mercy-seat we will linger till he shall manifest himself unto us as he doth not unto the world, and until we can truthfully say, “We were with him in the Holy Mount.” An Ordination Sermon By: Virgil Edwards, Mark 3:13–19 I.

In the Summit Daily News, Kimberly Nicoletti’s story captured a wide audience with her account of teens who love to snowboard and to tell how Jesus changed their lives. Undergirding the teenagers is a Christian youth organization equipping them to demonstrate God’s love.

Yes, we are saved from something, but we are also saved FOR something. We are saved to serve His purpose. Peter says "you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9+) So we are called FROM darkness to light, FOR the purpose of proclamation of His excellencies! Are you saved? Are you serving the purpose for which He called you out of spiritual darkness? The specific purpose may be different for different individuals (pastor, missionary, teacher, etc, etc), but rest assured He has called you for His purpose. Dear saint, wherever and whoever you are, don't ever believe the lie that your redeemed soul does not have a great and holy purpose in the Kingdom of God! If you don't know your purpose, then ask the Master and wait patiently for His answer. And remember that when He calls for a purpose, He also equips you so that you can fulfill that purpose (cf 1 Peter 4:10-11+, Eph 2:10+). And He appointed twelve - Similar to Luke 6:13+ which says "He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them." As alluded to above, it is based on these passages that some commentators feel the actual number called out of the large crowd was more than 12. Appointed is the verb poieo which more literally reads "He made" twelve,' doing so with a definite act of His will so as to create a distinct group. The Twelve became a technical term for this group and hereafter in Mark's Gospel "there seem to be no persons designated “disciples” in Mark’s Gospel other than the Twelve" (EBC). And Liefeld points out that "from this point on there seem to be no persons designated “disciples” in Mark’s Gospel other than the Twelve." (Ibid) Why twelve men? Obviously it was intentional and would correspond to the 12 Jewish patriarchs and the 12 tribes (e.g, cf the "regeneration", the Millennium, when they "shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Mt 19:28, cf " the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb" - Rev 21:14+). Leon
