Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:8
Tyre - Sidon, etc. - See Matthew 11:21 . When they had heard what great things he did, came unto him - So, if Christ be persecuted and abandoned by the wicked, there are a multitude of pious souls who earnestly seek and follow him. He who labors for God will always find more than he loses, in the midst of all his contradictions and persecutions. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:9
A small ship - Πλοιαριον . The lytil boot, Old English MS. It was doubtless something of the boat kind, which probably belonged to some of the disciples. Our Lord was at this time teaching by the sea of Galilee. The word ship is utterly improper in many places of our translation, and tends to mislead the people. read more

They pressed upon him - Rushed upon him, επιπιπτειν - through eagerness to have their spiritual and bodily maladies immediately removed. Plagues - Rather disorders, μαϚιγας ; properly such disorders as were inflicted by the Lord. The word plague also tends to mislead. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:11
Thou art the Son of God - Two MSS., and the later Syriac, have, Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. One of Stephens's MSS. has, Thou art the Holy One of God. A MS. in the library of Leicester has, συ ει ὁ Θεος, υἱος , Thou art God, the Son. This is an uncommon reading, which is not confirmed by any MS. yet discovered. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:6
Verse 6 Mark 3:6.The Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians. Now they regarded the Herodians with the fiercest hatred; for their eagerness to be considered the guardians and protectors of public liberty made it necessary for them to make an open profession of mortal hatred to the ministers of that tyrant. And yet this aversion is counteracted by their hatred and fury against Christ, (88) which makes them not only enter into a conspiracy with foreigners, but insinuate themselves into the good... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 3:1-6
The man with the withered hand; or, keeping the sabbath. In the most sacred and joyous scenes there may be circumstances of pain and sorrow. There are often some in God's house who are hindered in their enjoyment by personal affliction. But even these may be of service in testing the spirit and disposition of God's professed people. I. IT IS IN SPIRIT ALONE THAT THE SABBATH IS TRULY KEPT , 1. Outward observances are of value only as expressing and fostering... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 3:1-6
Sabbath observance. I. THE SABBATH MAY BE OBSERVED TO THE LETTER WHILE BROKEN IN THE SPIRIT . Here were men watching to see whether a man would dare to do a loving deed! The letter, which can never be more than the expression of the spirit, must be kept at all costs—except that of the literalists. There are pedants who will quarrel with a great writer because he departs from the "rules of grammar," forgetting that grammar is but a collection of observations of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 3:1-6
Parallel passages: Matthew 12:9-14 ; Luke 6:6-11 .— The man with the withered hand. I. THE NATURE OF THE DISEASE . It was a case of severe paralysis of the hand—the right hand, as St. Luke, with a physician's accuracy, informs us. The sinews were shrunken, and the hand shrivelled and dried up. And yet we owe to St. Mark's great particularity in narration and minuteness of detail a piece of information that one might rather have expected from the professional skill of "the... read more
