Mark 2:2 - Additional Comments

The mixed crowd of followers and foes including Scribes & Pharisees:
- Word of Jesus' ministry had spread to the point where the Pharisees are curious and are showing up to check Him out.
- "The Pharisees were a non-priestly movement whose goal was to keep the nation faithful to Mosaic faith. In order to do this, they had a very developed tradition that gave rulings on how the law applied to a variety of possible situations not addressed directly by Scripture." They had rules for every possible situation and Jesus kept violating those rules. That is why there was so much conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees. See also the notes in Acts 4:5 and Luke 7:37.
