Mark 3:1-6

The Servant-King Confronted: Sabbath Mercy, Demonic Accusation, and the Family of God

Mark 3 moves from Sabbath mercy rejected by hardened leaders, to crowds drawn by Jesus' power, to the appointment of the Twelve, to escalating accusations from family and scribes, and finally to Jesus' declaration that his true family consists of those who do God's will.

1Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

2In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

3Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”

4And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.

5Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.

6At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
