Mark 3:32
Arabic APD 2024 (كِتاب العَهد الجَّديد مِن الكِتاب المُقَدَّس)
ما معنى هذا؟
In this verse from Mark's gospel, a crowd around Jesus tells him that his mother and brothers are looking for him outside. It shows how Jesus' ministry was so focused that even family visits had to wait.
شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're playing a game with lots of friends when your mom calls out for you to come home. Your friends tell you, 'Your mom is calling you!' That's like what happened here, but Jesus was teaching people important things and his family wanted to see him too.
السياق التاريخي
Mark wrote this gospel in the late first century AD, likely targeting a non-Jewish audience living outside of Judea. The cultural setting was one where familial obligations were deeply valued, making Jesus' response to such an interruption particularly striking.

In today's context, this can remind us that sometimes our work or our passions might take precedence over family time, but it’s important to balance both without neglecting either. For example, a teacher might be so engrossed in helping students that they miss lunch with their family.
