Commentary -- Word/Phrase Notes (per phrase)

Vincent: Mar 3:15 - -- To have power ( ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν ) Note that he does not say to preach and to cast out, but to preach and to have authority...

To have power ( ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν )

Note that he does not say to preach and to cast out, but to preach and to have authority to cast out. The power of preaching and the power of exorcising were so different that special mention is made of the divine authority with which they would need to be clothed. The power of driving out demons was given that-they might apply it in confirmation of their teaching. Compare Mar 16:20.

Clarke: Mar 3:15 - -- To have power to heal - and to cast out devils - The business of a minister of Christ is 1st. To preach the Gospel 2dly. To be the physician of soul...

To have power to heal - and to cast out devils - The business of a minister of Christ is

1st. To preach the Gospel

2dly. To be the physician of souls. And

3dly. To wage war with the devil, and destroy his kingdom.

For an account of the appointment of the apostles, see the notes at Mat 10:1-4.

And calleth unto him whom he would - Those whom he chose; whom he was about to appoint to the apostleship. See the notes at Joh 15:16.

Mar 3:14

He ordained twelve - The word rendered "ordained"here does not express our notion of ordination to the ministry. It means, literally, "he made"- that is, he "appointed"twelve to be with him.

Twelve - The reason why "twelve"were chosen was, probably, that such a number would be deemed competent witnesses of what they saw; that they could not be easily charged with being excited by sympathy, or being deluded, as a multitude might; and that, being destined to go into all the world, a considerable number seemed indispensable. Perhaps, also, there was some reference to the fact that "twelve"was the number of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mar 3:17

Boanerges - This word is made up of two Hebrew words signifying "sons of thunder,"meaning that they, on some accounts, "resembled"thunder. See the notes at Mat 1:1. It is not known why this name was given to James and John. They are nowhere else called by it. Some suppose it was because they wished to call down fire from heaven and consume a certain village of the Samaritans, Luk 9:54. It is, however, more probable that it was on account of something fervid, and glowing, and powerful in their genius and eloquence.

Poole: Mar 3:13-15 - -- Ver. 13-15. We have this piece of history, or rather something to which it relates, both in Matthew and in Luke, only Mark hath this peculiar to hims...

Ver. 13-15. We have this piece of history, or rather something to which it relates, both in Matthew and in Luke, only Mark hath this peculiar to himself, that our Saviour did this upon a mountain. It is the opinion of Bucer, that this was the mountain at the foot of which he preached the sermon largely recorded, Mat 5:1-7:29 , and (as some judge) more shortly by Luk 6:17-45 : he thinketh the multitude here mentioned is the same with that mentioned Mat 4:25 , and Luk 3:7 , and that our Saviour did not go up into this mountain to preach, or ordain his disciples, but only to pray, and to discourse with some of his disciples more privately about spiritual mysteries. That it was at this time that he continued all night in prayer to God, Luk 6:12 ; and in the morning called unto him such of his disciples as he thought fit, and discoursed with them his intentions concerning them, telling them,

1. That he had chosen them to be with him, ordinarily, to be eye and ear witnesses of what he spake and did.

2. That he designed soon after to send them out to preach; which we read he did, Mar 6:7 Mat 10:1 ; to give them a power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: so that this chapter only mentions Christ’ s election of them, not his actual sending them, which is discoursed Mar 6:7-13 , as also Mat 10:1-42 .

These things being privately transacted on the mountain, Bucer thinks he came down into the plain at the foot of the mountain, according to Luk 6:17 , and there preached that sermon mentioned Mat 5:1-7:29 , as we before said. The evangelist telling us that he called to him which of his disciples he would, lets us know, that he chose them, and not they him; that the choice of them was of his free grace and mercy; and his continuing all night in prayer before this choice, lets us know the gravity of the work of choosing persons fit to be sent out to preach the gospel.

He gave his apostles the power of curing maladies both of soul and body, and of expelling devils, that they might prove the truth of their doctrines by the authority of miracles. (Bible de Vence)

And to have power to heal sicknesses,.... All manner of corporeal diseases that attend men and women:

and to cast out devils; from such who were possessed with them: that is, he chose and appointed them to be his apostles, with a view of conferring such powers upon them hereafter; for as yet, they were not vested with them, nor sent out to exercise them; no, not till near twelve months after.
