Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 3:19-22

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“That is, He has a devil and is mad, and therefore they wished to lay hold upon Him, that they might shut Him up as one who had a devil. And even His friends wished to do this, that is, His relations, perchance His countrymen, or His brethren. 1But it was a silly insanity in them, to conceive that the Worker of such great miracles of Divine Wisdom had become mad.”
