Mark 3:21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. I find St. Paul in the same chapter confesses and denies madness in himself. Whilst he was mad indeed, then none did suspect or accuse him to be distracted; but when converted, and in his right mind, then Festus taxeth him of madness. (See Acts 26:11.) (Thomas Fuller, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.WEB: When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, "He is insane." |
