Context of Mark 3:10
8Jerusalem, Idumea, and from across the Jordan River, and from around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they had heard about everything he was doing. 9Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready so that the crowd would not crush him. He had cured so many that everyone with a disease rushed up to him in order to touch him. 11Whenever people with evil spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12He gave them orders not to tell people who he was.

Commentaries on Mark 3:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10They pressed upon him - Rushed upon him, - through eagerness to have their spiritual and bodily maladies immediately removed. Plagues - Rather disorders, Ϛ ; properly such disorders as were inflicted by the Lord. The word plague also tends to mislead.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10As many as had plagues - As many as had diseases or maladies of body or mind. The word plague, now confined to the pestilence, does not express the meaning of the original, and tends to mislead.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 All our sicknesses and calamities spring from the anger of God against our sins. Their removal, or the making them blessings to us, was purchased to us by the blood of Christ. But the plagues and diseases of our souls, of our hearts, are chiefly to be dreaded; and He can heal them also by a word. May more and more press to Christ to be healed of these plagues, and to be delivered from the enemies of their souls.Read the comment
