And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
All Commentaries on Mark 3:21 Go To Mark 3
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
He is beside himself. See what has been said on S. Matthew 12:46. The Arabic has, saying that He is foolish. The Greek is ε̉ξÎστη, i.e, He has gone out of his mind, through too great piety and zeal. The Syriac renders literally. Others render differently, saying that He has swooned, from hunger, because, on account of the multitude, He had no leisure to eat. (Top)
