Mark 3:21

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

Then came his brothers and his mother, and standing outside they sent to call him;

so his brothers said to him, "Leave this and go across into Judaea, to let your disciples witness what you can do;

A number of them said, "He is mad. Why listen to him?"

When he brought this forward in his defence, Festus called out, "Paul, you are quite mad! Your great learning is driving you insane."

'I am beside myself,' am I? Well, that is between myself and God. I am 'sane,' am I? Well, that is in your interests;

send them off to the farms and villages round about to buy some food for themselves."

His mother and brothers reached him but they were unable to join him for the crowd.

(for even his brothers did not believe in him).
