Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 3:1-12

Here, as before, we have our Lord Jesus busy at work in the synagogue first, and then by the sea side; to teach us that his presence should not be confined either to the one or to the other, but, wherever any are gathered together in his name, whether in the synagogue or any where else, there is he in the midst of them. In every place where he records his name, he will meet his people, and bless them; it is his will that men pray every where. Now here we have some account of what he did. I.... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 3:13-21

In these verses, we have, I. The choice Christ made of the twelve apostles to be his constant followers and attendants, and to be sent abroad as there was occasion, to preach the gospel. Observe, 1. The introduction to this call or promotion of disciples; He goes up into a mountain, and his errand thither was to pray. Ministers must be set apart with solemn prayer for the pouring out of the Spirit upon them; though Christ had authority to confer the gifts of the Holy Ghost, yet, to set us an... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 3:7-12

3:7-12 So Jesus withdrew to the lakeside with his disciples, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him; and from Judaea and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and from the Transjordan country, and from the territory round Tyre and Sidon, there came to him a great crowd of people, for they were hearing about what great things he was doing. He told his disciples to have a boat ready waiting for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him; for he healed many, and the result... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 3:13-19

3:13-19 Jesus went up into the mountain and invited to his service the men of his choice; and he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to act as his heralds, and to have power to cast out demons. He chose Simon, and to him he gave the name of Peter; he chose James, Zebedee's son, and John, James' brother, and to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder; he chose Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas, and James,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:9

And he spake unto his disciples ,.... In an authoritative way; he ordered and commanded them, that a small ship should wait on him : that a boat should be got ready, be near at hand, and attend him, who was on shore; that he might go into it, should there be any occasion for it; and from thence preach to the people: because of the multitude ; which came from the above parts, and all together made a very numerous body of people: lest they should throng him ; crowd, press, afflict,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:10

For he had healed many ,.... Of various diseases, and the fame of this brought more still to him: insomuch that they pressed upon him ; or pushed upon him, with great eagerness and violence. The Arabic version renders it, "they rushed upon him, so that they fell": they pushed on, and pressed so hard to get to him, that they fell upon one another, and on him: the Persic version renders it, "they cast themselves on him, for the sake of touching him"; which must be very troublesome indeed.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:11

And unclean spirits, when they saw him ,.... That is, as the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "they who had unclean spirits": or, as the Ethiopic, "they that were possessed with unclean spirits"; as soon as ever they beheld Christ, though they had never seen him before, and he was an entire stranger to them, yet fell down before him : the unclean spirits being said to do that, which they that were possessed with them did; and which, notwithstanding their possession of them, they could... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:12

And he straitly charged them ,.... Or vehemently rebuked them, as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; or threatened them much and vehemently, as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic. The Persic version renders it, "threatened many"; both the devils that confessed him, and the many that were healed of their diseases: he gave them a strict and severe charge, that they should not make him known ; or "his work", as the Arabic, his miracles: he sought not vain glory and popular applause, nor... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:13

And he goeth up into a mountain ,.... Near Capernaum, being solitary, and a place of recess and retirement, "to pray", as Luke says, Luke 6:12 , who adds, "and continued all night in prayer to God", notwithstanding the great fatigue of the day past. His prayer, as is very probable, was chiefly concerning the great and important work, which was upon his mind, and he was about to do; the making and constituting twelve of his disciples, as his apostles, to preach in his name, and work... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 3:14

And he ordained twelve ,.... Or made, constituted, and appointed twelve men, out of those he called to him. The Arabic version adds, "and called them apostles"; which seems to be taken out of Luke 6:13 . That they should be with him ; constantly, in private and in public; be taken into his family, and reckoned such; be his familiars, and privy to all his affairs; hear all his discourses, and see his miracles; that so they might be trained up and fitted for the great work he designed... read more
