The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 3:4-6

The healing: v. 4. And He saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath-days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. v. 5. And when He had looked round about them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out; and his hand was restored whole as the other. v. 6. And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against Him how they might... read more

Miracles by the Seaside. The withdrawal of Jesus: v. 7. But Jesus withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed" Him, and from Judea, v. 8. and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what great things He did, came unto Him. Jesus made use of discretion and prudence. He knew the plans of the Pharisees, and therefore He withdrew from their wiles and persecutions... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 3:1-12

Fifth Conflict.—Healing of the Withered Hand on the Sabbath. The Traditionalists hardened into purposes of Murder. Withdrawal of Jesus to the Sea. Mark 3:1-12(Parallels: Matthew 12:9-21; Luke 6:6-11; Mark 3:17-19.)1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth [up]. 4And he saith unto... read more

Mark AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST Mar_3:6 - Mar_3:19 . A common object of hatred cements antagonists into strange alliance. Hawks and kites join in assailing a dove. Pharisees and Herod’s partisans were antipodes; the latter must have parted with all their patriotism and much of their religion, but both parties were ready to sink their differences in order to get rid of Jesus, whom they instinctively felt to threaten destruction to them both. Such alliances of mutually repellent partisans against... read more

the Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2:23-28 ; Mark 3:1-19 The ritualist demands the outward, the conventional, the ancient usage of the past. Christ says, “Be natural.” The needs of man, whether of body or of soul, are greater than ceremonial restriction. Ceremonies are only expressions of life, and where life is wanting, they are meaningless and void. The withered hand, Mark 3:1-6 . Through long disuse of powers which God has given, but which we have refrained from exercising, degeneration may... 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

The Man with the Withered Hand Mark 3:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We are giving a study in the Book of Mark which will carry some splendid suggestions for the student. Every Sunday morning we see a large group of people hurrying toward Sunday School and church. I wonder how many of us ever stop to consider the objectives of the various people who move on their way churchward. In our study, in Mark 3:2 , we read these words, "And they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath Day; that... read more

Six Incidents In The Life of Jesus Which Reveal His Unique Power and Authority and Lead to the Pharisees Plotting Against Him (1:40-3:6).

Through them the glory of Jesus and Who He is, is brought out. The subsection commences with the healing of a seriously... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:1-35

SECTION 1. The Establishment of His Ministry (1:1-3:35). This section commences with Jesus’ emergence from the wilderness as the Spirit anointed King and Servant (Isaiah 11:1-4; Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 61:1-3) Who is God’s beloved Son (Mark 1:11), continues with His initial revelation of Himself as introducing the Kingly Rule of God (Mark 1:15), and as consequently doing mighty works in God’s Name, includes the idea of the formation of a group of disciples who are to extend His ministry (Mark... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 3:6

‘And the Pharisees went out and immediately, with the officials of Herod, took counsel against him how they might destroy him.’ We have observed the slow growth of their opposition. First they had come to observe and act as critics, judging whether this man deserved their support (Mark 2:6), and their criticism had been silent. Then they had been worsted in argument in front of the crowds and had become resentful (Mark 2:9-10). Then they had sought to attack Him more openly through His... read more
