Contextual Overview

1 And Jeshu again entered the congregation: and a certain man was there whose hand was withered; 2 and they watched him whether he would cure him on the shabath, that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to him, the man with the withered hand, Stand up in the midst. 4 He said also to them, Is it lawful on the shabath to do good, or (that) which (is) evil ? to save life, or to destroy it ? But they were silent. 5 And he beheld them with indignation, while it grieved him on account of the hardness of their hearts. And he said to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched (it); and his hand straightened. 6 And the Pharishee went out immediately, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. 7 And Jeshu with his disciples went towards the sea: and many people joined him from Galila, and from Jehud, 8 and from Urishlem, and from Edum, and from beyond Jurdan, and from Tsur, and from Tsaidon; great multitudes, who, having heard all that he had done, came to him. 9 And he spoke to his disciples to bring a vessel for him, that the crowds might not oppress him; 10 for he had healed multitudes, until they were falling [fn] upon him to touch him.

Matthew 5:28
But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery in his heart.
1 Timothy 2:14
and Adam was not deceived, but the wife was deceived, and transgressed the commandment.
1 John 2:16
For every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Pharisees went forth,.... Out of the synagogue, being dreadfully galled with the reasonings of Christ, at the silence and confusion they were put to, and with the miracle he wrought, to the exposing of them, and establishing his own credit:

and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him:

:-.

How they might destroy him: persisting still in their evil intentions, though Christ had so fully and clearly exposed the wickedness of them: and it is to be observed, that those men who thought it was not lawful to heal a lame man on the sabbath day, yet make no scruple of meeting and consulting together on that day, and even with profane men, what measures and methods were best to take, to destroy the life of an innocent person.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Straightway - Immediately, or as soon as possible.

Took counsel - Laid a plan. Consulted with them. Literally, “made a consultation.”

The Harridans - See the notes at Matthew 22:16.

How they might destroy him - They hated him, he was so holy; because he reproved them; because he laid open their hypocrisy; and because he won the hearts of the people and lessened their influence. They therefore determined to remove him, if possible, and thus avoid his reproofs. Sinners would often rather put to death the man that reproves them than forsake their sins. The Pharisees had rather commit any crime, even to the murder of the Messiah, than forsake the sins for which he rebuked them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 3:6. Herodians — For an account of these, see the note on Matthew 16:1; Matthew 22:16.
