Context of Mark 3:11

9And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was. 13And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

In this place it is equivalent to the Messiah, who was, among the Jews, called the Son of God.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 All our sicknesses and calamities spring from the anger of God against our sins.
