Mark3:20-

Mar 3:1 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand.

Jesus' custom is to be in the church

The scribes are always keeping a close eye on Jesus, they knew what was supposed to be done on the sabbath day, they knew Jesus, they recognized Jesus, that Jesus was going to heal him, so that they might accuse Jesus

Mar 3:2 And they watched Jesus, [fn] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

Jesus knew this, He took the opportunity

Mar 3:3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Come here."

Jesus brings the man with the withered hand in the middle of everybody

Mar 3:4 And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

If Jesus doesn't save then that's to destroy

Jesus & the scribes were total contrary to one another

The scribes didn't see the need of the man with the withered hand

Mar 3:5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

healthy anger

sin grieves Jesus

restored=this word has the idea that it was once not ok but then restored

Mar 3:6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Jesus on the move & the Pharisees plot conspire to kill Jesus

Herod is a descendant of Esau

Jesus is descendant of Jacob

The Herodians & the Jews did not get along at the time

Herod the king descended from Esau

Jesus the true King from Jacbo, living in Peter's house who is the king

Lets take a break

any questions?

Toshiko:

Tony: The benefits derived from taking a sabbath benefits you. God is not benefitted by you taking a sabbath. He writes that law that's written on our heart. He

after break:

Jesus withdrew

Mar 3:7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea


Mar 3:8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him.

they were coming to Him solely for what He was doing

People should come to Him because He is God, He is Messiah

The amount of grace He gives to us is amazing.


Mar 3:9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him,

pressed=crush, the same word of for crushing grapes

the boat is being rowed by the disciples near the shore where Jesus is walking


Mar 3:10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him.


Mar 3:11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

the demons SAW = studying

Jesus did not want the demons declaring who Jesus was

But The scribes did not see what the demons saw

The demons are helpless before Jesus

Mar 3:12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

Demons obey God but we sometimes do not

Mar 3:13 And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him.


Mar 3:14 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach

There 12 tribes in the old covenant, there's 12 disciples of Jesus

They were there to be with Him

what are we to do as Jesus' disciples,

Mar 3:15 and have authority to cast out demons.

we are to spend time with Jesus too, then preach, heal, cast out demons... we are to do what Jesus did to build the kingdom of God

Mar 3:16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);


Mar 3:17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder);


Mar 3:18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,


Mar 3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

discussion questions

what is the blaspheme of the holy spirit. Brian- Mark3:24-29. Valarie-that demons can't cast out demons. Brian-at work people use the name "Jesus" out of anger, but Jesus says He forgives even of that, but those that don't want to know Jesus will not be forgiven. Valarie-my brother in Canada... Bine-i think you're right. Sunny-i think youre right. Brian-JWs think Christians have demons

2. Mark4:12 implications, Val, Bina, once we're forgiven we can see. Val-when we see our own guilt sin, we can see. Like Chuck say, the scales fall off our eyes. Brian: like Saul the scales fell off his eyes... the natural man can't see the things of God. people without the Holy Spirit don't understand the things of God

3. what is up with Jesus sleeping in the boat. Bine: i love the commentary, Jesus wasn't worried, so He was sleeping like a baby. Once we know the Lord nothing else matters. Lord, help me know. I like what Philips is talking about. Val: yeah, look at the world killings... the world has no peace, we don't have to worry. Brian-the disciples said to Jesus, "Lord don't you care" Jesus saying "I'm with you all the way" its not easy going through it but we have to know the promises of God, but its easy to go back to the old pattern the old nature, but God says, "You don't; have to worry, I'm with you.." Val: he know God was with him he wasn't going to drown. They expected the kingdom... Brian-Joseph in slavery, his brothers betrayed him, but Joseph knew that the Lord was with him. Val: Joseph was a type of Jesus. I was sick sin I was... I have lots of meds, & surgeries, during that time, "Why is this happening to me, everytime I had a sense of peace, I felt really at peace, I knew I still had a future with my husband. God was bringing me through the other side. God did. God is always with us. I still suffered through it. Every day is filled with joy. Every night I feel so close to Him. It really strengthens me. We've been married about 30 years, through my illness my husband has been with me through it all when so many would leave. Not all of us get to be Joseph. But God is faithful to all His children. My mother watched me for 20 years & before she died she gave her life to the Lord.

prayer before teaching


Mar 3:20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat.

The news is going all around about what Jesus is doing.

The word about Jesus is going every where, its common for crowds to gather, they couldn't get food because of the immensity of the crowds

Mar 3:21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind."

Think of Jesus' family, they hear of all these things Jesus is doing, the family is hearing, what is their response, "He's crazy, He's embarrassing us, get Him home"

Mar 3:22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."

The scribes ares saying He was possessed

Bradley:

Tony: I don't think Jesus' mother Mary was excelling Jesus into ministry at the wedding.

21-34 is the same thought but there's another story in between, I don't think Mary is fully aware of who Jesus is at this time, just as the disciples, scribes were not sure, no one was sure.

Bradley: Jn2:4-5

Tony: This event in Mark4 is probably after John2:4-5

Mary is not quoted as saying anything

Jesus' response & those two stories gives us an idea of what Jesus' family was thinking

I don't think Mary is completely convinced, she's telling Jesus what to do but that will never work. Jesus tells us what to do.

I'm like you Bradley, we have traditions we are brought up with, Mary is highly exalted above women, but Mary is a natural woman that needs her Son to save her.

Bradley: When Mary was pregnant & had to tell Joseph, so it baffles me that Mary didn't get it.

Bine: Its like all of us, God tells us things and we soon forget.

Tony: What Jesus came to do was no where near what they thought Jesus came to do.

Valarie: Mary probably didn't want her Son to be hurt by the Pharisees, so she probably wanted Jesus to be safe

Andrew: perhaps she wanted Him out of there

Tony: His family thought Jesus was out of His mind

Mark3:22 Jesus dialogues with the pharisees, invites them to come dialogue with Him

Mar 3:23 And he called them to him and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

Parable=earthly story to explain a spiritual truth

Mark1 Jesus casts out demons, these are the actions of Jesus, Jesus is moving and people are hearing what He is doing

Jesus gives an example of a kingdom


Mar 3:24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.


Mar 3:25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

the same thought a family at war with itself will not be one

Mar 3:26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

satan against himself will come to an end

illogical thing to say to Jesus, they were ascribing to Jesus He was ruled by Satan
Mar 3:27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.

the strongman=satan

Jesus is here to set men free

The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;

Satan has no power unless we give him that power

Mar 3:28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter,


Mar 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--


Mar 3:30 for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."

The scribes were atributing the work of the Holy Spirit to the work of satan

Isaiah5:20 a person that's calling a work of God evil is endanger of the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit

if you're concerned about this, you probably haven't committed it, even if you have committed this you can still be forgiven

The things God is doing people say its the work of Satan,

taking what God is doing and calling it evil is blaspheme of the Holy Spirit

Mar 3:31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him.

back to Jesus' family, they send someone else to get Jesus

Mar 3:32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers [fn] are outside, seeking you."

Jesus is not being rude, but Jesus understands their reason for coming, they believed Jesus had lost their minds

why do you think these two stories are tied together?

its not as severe as the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit but they are trying to take Jesus out of God's ministry

Bradley: it doesn't say...

Tony: Mark3:20-21, Mt12:46-50, Luke
While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Mar 3:20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat.


Mar 3:21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind."


Mat 12:47   Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.


Mat 12:48   But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?


Mat 12:49   And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!


Mat 12:50 �=
