Read Mark 3:7-35
- How has Jesus ministry changed and why?
- What does Jesus order the unclean spirits to do and why?
- Who does Jesus call and for what purpose?

- How do Jesus family respond to his growing fame?
INTERPRETATION
What does it mean?
- What have we learned about the scribes already? How have they responded to Jesus so far?
- What do they charge Jesus with here?
- How does he respond? What point are the parables making about who Jesus is, and his relationship to Satan?
- What have we seen already in Mark about Jesus’ interactions with Satan and evil forces?
- What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and why is it unforgivable?
- How does Jesus respond to his family seeking him? Why?
- What does this emphasize about our relationship to Jesus and therefore God?
APPLICATION
