Gospel of Mark - The Chosen Disciples

Mark 3:13-35 primarily focuses on Jesus appointing the twelve Apostles and addressing the growing controversy surrounding his ministry. Jesus selects twelve individuals, names them Apostles, and charges them with being with Him, preaching, and casting out demons. The passage also highlights the opposition he faces, including from his own family who believes he is out of his mind, and from scribes who accuse him of being possessed by Beelzebul. Finally, Jesus offers a parable about a divided kingdom and a divided house to illustrate His authority and the nature of His ministry.
