6. Mk. 3: 7-12

1.       Mk. 3: 7-12: Mark mention the seven geographical areas from which crowds came and followed Jesus. The universal aspect of Jesus’ mission is indicated. From the backdrop of these crowds Jesus calls the 12 disciples again Jesus’ ministry is universal in nature. The crowds are poor and from every walk of life and Jesus heal them from their maladies – now the same mission followed by the universal church.
