Torrey's *Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge* (ca. 1880), a Protestant reference work in the tradition of exhaustive biblical concordances. The entry covers Mark chapter 3, tracing events including Jesus healing a withered hand on the Sabbath, his confrontation with Pharisees and Herodians, his selection of the twelve apostles, his rebuttal of the accusation that he casts out demons by Beelzebub's power, and his redefinition of family as those who do God's will. The work's primary content is not prose exposition but dense chains of cross-references \u2014 each verse or phrase in Mark 3 is linked to dozens of parallel or supporting passages from across both Testaments \u2014 making it a navigation tool for comparative Bible study rather than a narrative commentary. Occasional short glosses appear, such as the note clarifying that \"Canaanite\" (applied to Simon) derives from a Hebrew root meaning \"zealous,\" not from the land of Canaan, or the note explaining Jesus's anger as directed at his opponents' \"desperate malice\" combined with grief for the consequences they were bringing on themselves. The underlying theological perspective is conservative evangelical: the cross-references consistently reinforce the unity of Old and New Testament witness, the authority of Christ, and doctrines such as the unforgivable sin and eternal punishment. It is most useful to readers who want to trace a biblical theme or phrase across the entire scriptural canon rather than to those seeking interpretive argument or historical context.","tags":["Cross-Reference Bible Notes","R.A.
