LESSON
by Charles E. Dunn
Jesus Chooses the Twelve
Lesson for February 5th. Mark
3:7-19.
Golden Text: John 15:16.
Like the preceding lesson texts taken from the gospel of Mark, this one is packed with incident. We read first of the prudent withdrawal of Jesus from the hostile designs of the Pharisees. He went, with His disciples, to the lakeside, and there a great multitude gathered, some of them coming long distances, as verse 8 so clearly indicates. This shows that the fame of Jesus had spread far and wide, that He had created an extraordinary sensation. The crowd was so great, indeed, that the Master found it necessary to ask the disciples to make ready a small boat so that in case the people should press too hard upon Him, He might escape into the bosom of the water. Many were diseased, and thronged about him that they might touch Him, and experience His healing power. Those afflicted with mental disturbances were noisy, screaming, "You are the Son of God!" much to the annoyance of Jesus. Then He went up a nearby hill, with certain designated followers, and appointed the twelve disciples. The famous "Sermon on the Mount", not given by Mark, was preached here, and may be considered an ordination address for the college of the twelve. (See Luke 6.) Note that they were chosen carefully, only after deliberation. But of course He had to make use of the available personnel, the folk present and interested. The twelve were not a cabinet of "best minds," but men who Jesus felt He could trust. Peter was their leader, the "rock" upon which the Master said He would build His Church. James and John were fiery "sons of thunder." These three were closer to Jesus than the others. Andrew was the useful, unheralded hero who introduced Peter, his brother, to our Lord. Matthew was the tax-gatherer. Thomas is famous for his doubt, Philip brought Nathanael to Jesus, and there are reasons for believing that Nathanael is identical with Bartholomew. The others are Thaddeus, Simon, called the "Zealot," James the Less, and Judas, the traitor. It is an uneven group and only one failed.
