Context of Mark 3:8
6Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him. 7But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him. 9So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. 10For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.

Commentaries on Mark 3:8
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Tyre - Sidon, etc. - See Matthew 11:21. When they had heard what great things he did, came unto him - So, if Christ be persecuted and abandoned by the wicked, there are a multitude of pious souls who earnestly seek and follow him. He who labors for God will always find more than he loses, in the midst of all his contradictions and persecutions.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

The large crowd that came to see John the Baptist (1:7) was smaller than the crowd that came to see Jesus. Idumea was a region in southern Judea, settled by the Edomites after the exile in Babylon. Tyre and Sidon were Phoenician cities on the Mediterranean coast that Jesus later visited (7:24, 31).Read the comment
