Mark 3

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
1He entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. 2They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3He *said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” 4And He *said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. 5After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him. 9And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. 11Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.
The Twelve Are Chosen
13And He *went up on the mountain and *summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. 14And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, 15and to have authority to cast out the demons. 16And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”); 18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20And He *came #Lit into a househome, and the crowd *gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. 21When His own #Or kinsmenpeople heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.” 22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.” 23And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished! 27But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31Then His mother and His brothers *arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. 32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they *said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.” 33Answering them, He *said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He *said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

Mark 3
3
1And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
2and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.
3And he saith to the man having the hand withered, ‘Rise up in the midst.’
4And he saith to them, ‘Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?’ but they were silent.
5And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, ‘Stretch forth thy hand;’ and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
6and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon — a great multitude — having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
9And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
10for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him — as many as had plagues;
11and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying — ‘Thou art the Son of God;’
12and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
14and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
15and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
16And he put on Simon the name Peter;
17and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names — Boanerges, that is, ‘Sons of thunder;’
18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
19and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
21and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said — ‘He hath Beelzeboul,’ and — ‘By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.’
23And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, ‘How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
24and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
25and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
26and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
27‘No one is able the vessels of the strong man — having entered into his house — to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
28‘Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
29but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness — to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;’
30because they said, ‘He hath an unclean spirit.’
31Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
32and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, ‘Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.’
33And he answered them, saying, ‘Who is my mother, or my brethren?’
34And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, ‘Lo, my mother and my brethren!
35for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.’
