Greek Commentary for Mark 3:34
Another of Mark‘s life-like touches. Jesus calls those who do the will of God his mother, brothers, and sisters. This does not prove that the sisters were actually there. The brothers were hostile and that gives point to the tragic words of Jesus. One‘s heart goes out to Mary who has to go back home without even seeing her wondrous Son. What did it all mean to her at this hour? [source]

Peculiar to Mark. As the master of the house, inspecting. “A look serious, sorrowful, judicial” (Meyer). Compare Mark 3:5, Mark 3:34. [source]
Another picture of the looks of Jesus and in Mark alone as in Mark 3:5, Mark 3:34. “To see what impression the incident had made on the Twelve” (Bruce). “When the man was gone the Lord‘s eye swept round the circle of the Twelve, as he drew for them the lesson of the incident” (Swete). [source]
Mark has a good deal to say about the looks of Jesus with this word (Mark 3:5, Mark 3:34; Mark 5:37; Mark 9:8; Mark 10:23; Mark 11:11) as here. So Luke only once, Luke 6:10. The eyes of Jesus swept the room all round and each rabbinical hypocrite felt the cut of that condemnatory glance. This indignant anger was not inconsistent with the love and pity of Jesus. Murder was in their hearts and Jesus knew it. Anger against wrong as wrong is a sign of moral health (Gould). [source]
Imperfect middle indicative. He kept looking around to find out. The answer of Jesus to the protest of the disciples was this scrutinizing gaze (see already Mark 3:5, Mark 3:34). Jesus knew the difference between touch and touch (Bruce). [source]
Not, in a circuitous track to Illyricum, but Jerusalem and the regions round it. For the phrase, see Mark 3:34; Mark 6:6, Mark 6:36; Luke 9:12; Revelation 4:6. For the facts, Acts href="/desk/?q=ac+20:1-3&sr=1">Acts 20:1-3. [source]
