Notes

Mark 3:22

The scribes … from Jerusalem claimed Jesus was crazy because they believed Satan possessed him (see study note on 1:22) (Greek Beelzeboul; see study note on Matthew 10:25). The opponents of Jesus said his ability to perform miracles came from Satan (see the Jewish rabbinic work, Sanhedrin 3:43a, where they credit the working of miracles to magic).

Mark 3:20–35

This story about Jesus and his family (3:20–21 and 31–35) surrounds a controversy story about Jesus driving out demons (3:22–30). This arrangement connects his family with the religious leaders, since both groups misunderstand him and stand against him.
