Mark 3: 7-12 - ''He warned them not to make him known as the Son of God.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 1504 (in 'Christ the Physician') - Often Jesus asks the sick to believe. He makes use of signs to heal: spittle and the laying on of hands, mud and washing. The sick try to touch him, “for power came forth from him and healed them all.” And so in the sacraments Christ continues to “touch” us in order to heal us.

0:00.0	Hey again, everyone, and welcome back to our podcast where we take a look at the gospel reading from today,
0:17.1	and we want to try and get at the literal sense of the text. What was the original author trying to convey to his readers?
0:24.5	So what was Mark, in this case, trying to teach his first century audience?
0:29.3	We're looking today at Mark chapter 3, verses 7 to 12.
0:35.3	Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lakeside and great crowds from Galilee followed him
0:41.4	from Judea, Jerusalem, Idhiuma, Transjordania and the region of Tyre and Sidon
0:49.4	great numbers who had heard of all he was doing came to him and he asked his disciples to have a boat
0:57.4	ready for him because of the crowd to keep him from being crushed for he had cured so many
1:04.4	that all who were afflicted in any way were crowding forward to touch him and the unclean spirits
1:10.5	whenever they saw him, would
1:12.4	fall down before him and shout, you are the son of God, but he warned them strongly not to make
1:18.6	him known. Okay, so the context here is important. As we've just heard over the last couple of days,
1:29.0	Jesus has just had a couple of confrontations on the Sabbath day. Remember, the last one was in
1:34.4	the synagogue with the man with the withered hand. And this particular scene we're looking at
1:39.3	may well have happened on the same day because it starts by saying Jesus withdrew with his disciples.
1:46.1	So what's going on here is Jesus is getting out of town to get some space. Withrew
1:51.4	implies he wants to get away. So that's the plan. Maybe to have a bit of privacy or maybe to
1:58.6	teach his disciples in private. And they go to the lakeside, which is the Sea of Galilee. And Jesus does a bit of privacy or maybe to teach his disciples in private.
2:03.7	And they go to the lakeside, which is the Sea of Galilee.
2:06.2	And Jesus does a lot of his teaching from there.
2:11.3	That's just on the very edge of the town that he was just at.
2:18.4	Now, this is interesting because scholars have noticed that if you look at Jesus general travels in Mark and where he moves from and where he moves to eventually. So it's from this point on,
