Acts 3:5

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And he gave heed unto them,.... Or "he looked at them", as the Syriac version renders it, as they bid him: he was not only attentive to them in his mind, but he directed his eyes towards them, and looked wistly at them.

This clause is left out in the Ethiopic version.

Key Acts in Mark: Act 1: Baptism & Ministry Launch (0:55-2:14): John the Baptist prepares the way, and Jesus is baptized, receiving divine endorsement before immediately calling his first disciples. Act 2: Galilean Ministry & Authority (2:15-4:24): Jesus demonstrates authority through miracles—healing, casting out spirits, and calming storms—while using parables to teach about the Kingdom of God (3:02). This act also introduces the conflict with religious leaders. Act 3: The Turning Point (4:25-6:00): Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah (4:56), leading Jesus to define his mission not as political power, but as suffering, death, and resurrection (5:22). Act 4: The Passion (6:01-7:30): The intense final week in Jerusalem, covering his triumphal entry, the Last Supper, betrayal, and crucifixion. The climax occurs when a Roman Centurion declares Jesus the Son of God at his death (7:09). Act 5: The Resurrection (7:31-8:50): Women find the empty tomb, confirming Jesus has risen, demonstrating that sacrifice led to ultimate victory.DiscipleDeck devotionThe Real ThingConversion is Scriptural, real, necessary, possible, happy, and visible.
