What does Mark 3:10 mean?

Barnes' Notes
Verse 10.

(f) "healed many" Mt 12:15, 14:14 (1) "they pressed upon him" or, "rushed"

Albert Barnes, 1834 · public domain

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 10 They pressed upon him - Rushed upon him, επιπιπτειν - through eagerness to have their spiritual and bodily maladies immediately removed. Plagues - Rather disorders, μαϚιγας; properly such disorders as were inflicted by the Lord. The word plague also tends to mislead.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Mark 3:6-12

All our sicknesses and calamities spring from the anger of God against our sins. Their removal, or the making them blessings to us, was purchased to us by the blood of Christ. But the plagues and diseases of our souls, of our hearts, are chiefly to be dreaded; and He can heal them also by a word. May more and more press to Christ to be healed of these plagues, and to be delivered from the enemies of their souls.
