Mark 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:15

And to have power to heal sicknesses

from such who were possessed with them: that is, he chose and appointed them to be his apostles, with a view of conferring such powers upon them hereafter; for as yet, they were not vested with them, nor sent out to exercise them; no, not till near twelve months after.
