Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

At this, the Pharisees went out
The Pharisees were a religious group known for their strict adherence to the Law of Moses and oral traditions. Their departure signifies a decisive moment of opposition against Jesus. This action follows Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath, which they viewed as a violation of the law. The Pharisees' response highlights their growing hostility and inability to recognize Jesus' authority and divine mission.

and began plotting with the Herodians
The Herodians were a political group that supported the Herodian dynasty, which was aligned with Roman rule. Normally, the Pharisees and Herodians were at odds, as the Pharisees opposed Roman influence. Their collaboration against Jesus underscores the threat He posed to both religious and political establishments. This alliance illustrates the extent of their desperation to maintain control and suppress Jesus' influence.

how they might kill Jesus
This phrase marks the beginning of a concerted effort to eliminate Jesus, foreshadowing the eventual crucifixion. It reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the suffering Messiah, such asIsaiah 53. The plot to kill Jesus is a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative, demonstrating the rejection of Jesus by the religious leaders and setting the stage for His sacrificial death, which is central to Christian theology.

Persons / Places / Events

1.Pharisees
A religious group known for strict adherence to the Law of Moses and traditions. They often clashed with Jesus over interpretations of the law and His claims of authority.

2.Herodians
A political group that supported Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee. They were more politically motivated and typically opposed the Pharisees, but they united with them against Jesus.

3.Jesus
The central figure of the New Testament, whose teachings and miracles challenged the religious and political status quo of His time.

4.Plotting to Kill Jesus
This event marks a significant escalation in the opposition against Jesus, showing the extent of the threat He posed to both religious and political leaders.

Teaching Points

The Danger of Legalism
The Pharisees' strict adherence to the law blinded them to the truth of Jesus' message. We must be cautious not to let legalism overshadow the grace and truth of the Gospel.

Unlikely Alliances Against Truth
The Pharisees and Herodians, typically adversaries, united against Jesus. This teaches us that opposition to truth can come from unexpected alliances.

The Cost of Following Christ
Jesus faced severe opposition, even to the point of death. As His followers, we should be prepared for challenges and opposition in our own lives.

The Sovereignty of God
Despite human plots, God's plan for salvation through Jesus was fulfilled. This reassures us of God's ultimate control over all circumstances.

What Does Mark 3:6 Mean

At this

“Immediately He [Jesus] went out with His disciples...” (Matthew 12:14) reminds us that the moment marks a turning point. Up to now, Jesus has been healing, teaching, extending mercy—especially in the synagogue where He restored the man’s withered hand (Mark 3:1-5). That merciful act should have evoked praise, yet it provokes hostility. Here’s why:

• It exposed the hardness of religious hearts (Mark 3:5).

• It revealed that Sabbath regulations had become more precious to the leaders than people (Luke 14:3-6).

• It forced a decision—either follow the Messiah’s authority or resist Him (John 3:19-20).

the Pharisees went out

Leaving the synagogue, the Pharisees step outside both physically and spiritually. Rather than repenting, they retreat into opposition. Similar exits appear when:

• Judas “went out” into the night to betray Jesus (John 13:30).

• The Nazarenes “drove Him out” of their town after His inaugural sermon (Luke 4:28-29).

In each case, walking away from Christ signals hardened unbelief.

and began plotting

A deliberate, calculated conspiracy replaces any semblance of seeking truth.Psalm 2:2 speaks prophetically: “The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One.” Planning evil rather than embracing grace fulfillsIsaiah 53:3—“He was despised and rejected by men.”

with the Herodians

This unlikely alliance underlines the depth of the Pharisees’ hatred. Normally, Pharisees fiercely opposed Herodian political loyalties. Yet:

• For a common enemy, they put aside differences (Luke 23:12 shows Herod and Pilate doing the same).

•Psalm 83:5 describes similar coalitions formed “against You.”

•Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together without agreeing on the direction?”—here, agreement centers on destroying Jesus.

how they might kill Jesus

The verb points to murder, not mere silencing. From early ministry onward, death loomed (John 5:18;John 11:53). But every plot unfolds under divine timetable: “No one takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord” (John 10:18). Their murderous intent sets in motion the redemptive plan foretold inActs 2:23.

summary

Mark 3:6 records a decisive moment: mercy shines, unbelief hardens. Religious leaders, stung by exposure, unite with political foes to destroy the source of their discomfort—Jesus. Yet their scheming cannot outmaneuver God’s sovereignty; every step hastens the cross where love triumphs over sin and death.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. - The Pharisees and the Herodians combine together against the Lord. This was a terrible crisis in his history, or rather in the history of those unbelieving men. They are now in this dilemma: they must either accept his teaching, or they must take steps against him as a sabbath-breaker. But what had he done? The miracle had been wrought by a word only. It would have been difficult, therefore, to have obtained a judgment against him. Therefore they secured some fresh allies. They had already gained to their side some of the disciples of John the Baptist (Mark 2:18), now they associate with themselves the Herodians. This is the first mention that we find made of the Herodians. They were the natural opponents of the Pharisees; but here they seem to have found some common ground of agreement, though it is not very easy to say what it was, in combining against our Lord. But it is no uncommon thing to find coalitions of men, strangely opposed to one another on most points, but united to effect some particular object; and it is easy to see how the purity and spirituality of our Lord and of his doctrine would be opposed, on the one hand, to the ceremonial formality of the Pharisee, and on the other to the worldly and secular spirit of the Herodian.
