Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 3]. concern Satan's casting out (\ekballei\, the very word used of casting out demons) Satan (rhetorical question), a kingdom divided (\meristh•i\, for a mere portion) against itself, a house divided (\meristh•i\) against itself, two conditions of the third class undetermined, but with prospect of determination. 3:27 {Spoil} (\diarpasai\). Plunder, compound verb, thoroughly ransack. Picture of Satan plundering the demons, the very tools (\skeu•\) by which he carried on his business. A _reductio ad absurdum_. Jesus is the conqueror of Satan, not in league with him. 3:29 {Guilty of an eternal sin} (\enochos estin ai•niou hamart•matos\). The genitive of the penalty occurs here with \enochos\. In saying that Jesus had an unclean spirit (verse 30) they had attributed to the devil the work of the Holy Spirit. This is the unpardonable sin and it can be committed today by men who call the work of Christ the work of the devil, Nietzsche may be cited as an instance in point. Those who hope for a second probation hereafter may ponder carefully how a soul that eternally sins in such an environment can ever repent. That is eternal punishment. The text here is \hamart•matos\ (sin), not \krise•s\ (judgment), as the Textus Receptus has it. 3:31 {Standing without} (\ex• st•kontes\). A late present from the perfect \hest•ka\. Pathetic picture of the mother and brothers standing on the outside of the house thinking that Jesus inside is beside himself and wanting to take him home. They were crowded out. {They sent unto him, calling him} (\apesteilan pros auton kalountes auton\). They were unwilling to disclose their errand to take him home (Swete) and so get the crowd to pass word unto Jesus on the inside, "calling him" through others. Some of the MSS. add "sisters" to mother and brothers as seeking Jesus. 3:32 {Was sitting about him} (\ekath•to peri auton\). They sat in a circle (\kukl•i\) around Jesus with the disciples forming a sort of inner circle. 3:34 {Looking round on them} (\periblepsamenos\). Another of Mark's life-like touches. Jesus calls those who do the will of God his mother, brothers, and sisters. This does not prove that the sisters were actually there. The brothers were hostile and that gives point to the tragic words of Jesus. One's heart goes out to Mary who has to go back home without even seeing her http://www.ccel.org/r/robertson_at/wordpictures/htm/MR3.RWP.html (7 of 8) [28/08/2004 09:03:37 a.m.]
