Mark 3: 7-35 (HG2)

Mark 3: 7-35

Vs. 7 -12: Jesus Withdraws from the crowd. Why?

• He needed rest / He was overwhelmed
• It was not the right time to go public
• To spend time with disciples

Why did the people come? (Mark 3: 8)

• Word travels quickly
• They wanted to satisfy personal needs
• They were curious
• They heard that He was a healer (Or maybe even the Messiah?)

Evil Spirits:

• They knew who Jesus was/ recognized Him (Mk 3 :11)
• Their reaction was fear – born out of the knowledge of who He was
• Jesus didn’t need their support

Vs 13 – 19 – Jesus selects His disciples / His team

1. He goes up and prays (through the night) (Lk 6:12-16)
2. He calls (Mk 3:13)
3. They came (Mk 3:13)
4. He appointed (Mk 3:14)
5. Designated the apostles (Mk 3:14)

• To (PURPOSE) :
• Be with Him (Mk 3:14)
• Be sent out to preach (Mk 3:14)
• To have authority - to drive out demons and heal the sick (Mk3:15, Mt 10:1)

Q: does power come in different measures?

Q: does power mean only for deliverance, healing etc. and is it only for the apostles?

Q: vs.27 (Is satan the strong man?)

• Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
• Unforgivable sin
• Eternal sin

Q. Can believers commit the unpardonable sin?
