But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."
Mark 3:21
This entry covers much of Mark Chapter 3, assuming you haven't read it - interesting chapter.
The people are referring to Jesus, after He had healed people and cast out demons. So the scribes accused Jesus of being Beelzebub - well, the Bible says, "He has Beelzebub." Is this the reason that Jesus didn't want the unclean spirits to say, "You are the Son of God?"
Sure, they already thought Jesus was crazy and could control the unclean spirits through Satan. How would they react if one of the spirits said that Jesus was the Son of God. In my opinion, they would say that Jesus told them to say that.
Poor Jesus, he suffered in more ways than one. He did have a multitude following Him, but did they all want something from Jesus? He had people wanting to discredit Him for the same reason that all the multitude was following Him - wow! I love you Jesus! Tell God that you love Him.
The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.
