Notes

Mark 3:23–27

Jesus showed that this charge made no sense by using several examples. Satan would not work against himself.

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.
