Shalom,

In Mark 3 today we see that those who SHOULD have known Jesus the very best, those closest to Him, did not YET believe that He was Who HE said HE was! Look at Mark 3:21:

21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. KJV

"Friends" here is actually two Greek words that mean "those closest to Him". The Wuest Translation says this:

And having heard, those nearest to Him among His kinsfolk went out for the purpose of taking Him by force, for they were saying, He is out of His mind.

So this was NOT just a bunch of well-meaning friends! These were his relatives! Look at the Amplified Bible:

21 And when those who belonged to Him (His kinsmen) heard it, they went out to take Him by force, for they kept saying, He is out of His mind (beside Himself, deranged)!

They KNEW, especially Mary, His mother, that there was something special about Jesus, but they did NOT expect Him to be doing and saying what He had been doing and saying! He had made the religious leaders IRATE! He couldn't POSSIBLY be Messiah, could He, when He made the religious leaders get beside themselves with anger, worry and fear? Maybe they all thought He would be a diplomatic leader or even a warrior, but THIS! Teaching and preaching and healing? They had never heard of such a thing before! He HAD to be crazy to do such things, right? Jesus was NOT moved by their concerns! He said this in verses 33-35:

33 And He replied, Who are My mother and My brothers? 34 And looking around on those who sat in a circle about Him, He said, See! Here are My mother and My brothers; 35 For whoever does the things God wills is My brother and sister and mother!

Jesus came to this earth to fulfill the will of the Father in carrying out the great plan for our Salvation! THAT kind of "deranged" I can live with! In fact, we cannot live without "it" or HIM! AMEN! The next time you begin YOUR study of the Word of God, remember that God does NOT think like man thinks! What is impossible with man is POSSIBLE (Mark 10:27) with God and highly PROBABLE, IF we do things HIS way! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Wake"(lyrics follow):

[Verse 1:]
At break of day, in hope we rise.
We speak Your Name, we lift our eyes.
Tune our hearts into Your beat.
Where we walk, there You'll be.

[Verse 2:]
With fire in our eyes, our lives a-light.
Your love untamed, it's blazing out.
The streets will glow forever bright.
Your glory's breaking through the night.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You will never fade away, Your love is here to stay
By my side, in my life, shining through me everyday.

You will never fade away, Your love is here to stay
By my side, in my life, shining through me everyday.

[Chorus:]
You wake within me, wake within me. 
You're in my heart forever.

You wake within me, wake within me. 
You're in my heart forever.

[Verse 2:]
With fire in our eyes, our lives a-light.
Your love untamed, it's blazing out.
The streets will glow forever bright.
Your glory's breaking through the night.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You will never fade away, Your love is here to stay
By my side, in my life, shining through me everyday.

You will never fade away, Your love is here to stay
By my side, in my life, shining through me everyday.

[Chorus:]
You wake within me, wake within me. 
You're in my heart forever.

You wake within me, wake within me. 
You're in my heart forever.

[Bridge:]
Forever, forever, forever in Your love.
Forever, forever, forever in Your love.

Forever, forever, forever in Your love.
Forever, forever, we know that...

Shalom in Him!
