Commentary on Mark 3:23
Jesus 'called them unto him' for direct confrontation and teaching 'in parables'—brief illustrative stories conveying spiritual truth. His rhetorical question 'How can Satan cast out Satan?' exposes illogical accusation. The question assumes Satan's self-interest—he wouldn't undermine his kingdom. Jesus' parabolic method accomplishes dual purposes: revealing truth to receptive hearts while concealing from hardened hearts (Mark 4:11-12). His willingness to engage opponents demonstrates patient teaching despite hostility.
