GOSPEL READING: MARK 3: 20-21
No one was prevented from meeting Jesus or listening to him. The crowd flocked to him. He welcomed them and answered each one according to his need. He was ready to forgo his meal. Those who were engaged in the works of God can easily bear with any inconveniences. They will not miss an opportunity of doing good.
The prophets were called mad people (2 Ki. 9:11). Since Jesus was doing the work of the kingdom and some of the people thought that he was a prophet and so like the prophets of old he was also mad in his dealings. In the context it could also mean that because he was not having his regular meal he would faint and his health would be in danger.
இயேசு ஒரு இறைவாக்கினர் என்று எல்லாரும் நம்பி வந்தார்கள். இறைவாக்கினர்களை மதிமயங்கியவர்கள் என்று கருதினார்கள் (இந்தப் பைத்தியக்காரன் உன்னிடம் வந்தது ஏன்?” 2 அர 9:11). இயேசு உணவு உண்ணாது பணிசெய்து கொண்டிருப்பதால் மயங்கிவிடுவார் என்றும் கருதியிருக்கலாம்.
