Mark 3:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Mark 3:9
Jesus commanded disciples to keep 'a small ship' ready 'because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.' The verb 'throng' (θλίβω) means press, crush—the crowd's enthusiasm threatened to overwhelm Him physically. This practical measure demonstrates wisdom in managing ministry demands. The boat served dual purposes: escape from crowds and floating platform for teaching (Mark 4:1). This reveals Jesus' full humanity—experiencing physical limitations, fatigue, need for space. Reformed Christology affirms Christ's full deity and full humanity.
