20Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
21When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

Mark 3:20-21
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.
