Mark, Chapter 3

In Mark 3 we see the Jewish leaders continuing to resist Jesus at every opportunity even to the point of planing to kill him. As Jesus' ministry continued to grow scribes came from Jerusalem claiming he was doing his miracles through the power of Satan. Jesus replies by warning them of the dangers of committing the unpardonable sin.
