Mark 3:1 - 3:19

Gospel of Mark
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg

In this segment, Steve Gregg delves into Mark 3:1 - 3:19, focusing on the controversies surrounding the Sabbath and the selection of Jesus' apostles. He explains how Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, an action that irked the religious leaders of his time. Steve also explores how Jesus chose his twelve apostles, including Judas, despite their lack of theological education or training. The apostles were selected and trained to become the face of Jesus' movement, with a special relationship with him, and the power to perform signs and wonders to confirm their message.
