The Man With a Withered Hand
Mt 12:9–14; Lk 6:6–11
1#Mt 12:9–14; Mk 1:21Again, He entered the synagogue, and there was a man who had a withered hand. 2#Lk 14:1; 6:7They watched Him to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up.”
4Then He said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.
5#Lk 6:10; Ro 11:25When He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch your hand forward.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 6#Mt 22:16; Mk 12:13Then the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to kill Him.
The Crowd at the Seaside
7#Mt 4:25; Lk 6:17Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed Him from Galilee and Judea 8#Eze 35:15; Isa 34:5and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And those from Tyre and Sidon, a great crowd, when they heard what great things He did, came to Him. 9He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they should crush Him. 10#Mt 14:36; Mk 6:56For He had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed on Him to touch Him. 11#Mt 4:3; 14:33When unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him, crying out, “You are the Son of God.” 12#Mt 12:16; Mk 1:25But He sternly ordered them not to make Him known.
The Choosing of the Twelve Apostles
Mt 10:1–4; Lk 6:12–16
13He went up into the mountain and called to Him those whom He desired, and they came to Him. 14He ordained twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach, 15and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16#Jn 1:42; Ac 1:13Simon, whom He named Peter; 17James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, whom he surnamed Boanerges (meaning Sons of Thunder); 18#Ac 1:13; Mk 2:14; Mt 9:9Andrew,and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus; andThaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
Jesus and Beelzebub
Mt 12:22–32; Lk 11:14–23; 12:10
20#Mk 6:31Then they entered a house, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat bread. 21#Jn 10:20; Ac 26:24When His family heard of it, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is beside Himself.”
22#Mt 9:34; 10:25And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”
23#Mt 13:34So He called them to Him and said 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 cannot stand. 26And if Satan rises up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27#Isa 53:12; Mt 12:29No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then he will plunder his house. 28#Mt 12:31–32; Lk 12:10Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they speak. 29#Mt 25:46; Mk 12:40But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal condemnation.”
30For they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
The Mother and Brothers of Jesus
Mt 12:46–50; Lk 8:19–21
31#Lk 8:19–21Then His mother and His brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him. 32The crowd sat around Him and said to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You.”
33He answered, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34Then He looked around at those who sat around Him and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35#Mt 7:21; 1Jn 2:17For whoever does the will of God is My brother, and My sister, and My mother.”

A Mitzvah on Shabbat
1Yeshua entered the synagogue again, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2Now some were carefully watching Him, to see if He would heal him on Shabbat, so that they might accuse Him.
3He said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up here in the center.”
4Then He said to them, “Is it permitted on Shabbat to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent.
5After looking around at them with anger, grieved by their hardness of heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6The Pharisees went out right away with the Herodians and began plotting against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Crowds Clamor for Yeshua
7Yeshua withdrew to the sea with His disciples, and a large crowd from the Galilee followed. From Judea,
8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing all He was doing, came to Him.
9He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t mob Him.
10For He had healed many, so that all those afflicted fell down before Him in order to touch Him.
11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, would fall down before Him and cry out, “You are Ben-Elohim!”
12But Yeshua strictly ordered them not to make Him known.
Appointing the Twelve
13Now He climbs up on the mountain and calls those He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.
14He appointed twelve (whom He also named emissaries), so that they might be with Him and He might send them to proclaim the Good News,
15and to have power to drive out demons.
16And He appointed the Twelve: to Simon He gave the name Peter;
17to Jacob and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, He gave the name Boanerges, which is Sons of Thunder;
18and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Jacob the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;
19and Judah from Kriot, who also betrayed Him.
Binding the Strong Man
20Then He comes into a house, and again a crowd gathers so they couldn’t even eat.
21When His family heard about this, they went out to take hold of Him; for they were saying, “He’s out of His mind!”
22The Torah scholars who came down from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of demons He drives out demons.”
23He called them and began speaking to them in parables: “How can satan drive out satan?
24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26And if satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but his end has come.
27“But no one can enter a strong man’s house to ransack his property, unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will thoroughly plunder his house.
28Amen, I tell you, all things will be forgiven the sons of men, the sins and whatever blasphemies they utter;
29but whoever slanders the Ruach ha-Kodesh never has release, but is guilty of an eternal sin!”
30For they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
A Spiritual Family Begins
31Then His mother and brothers come. Standing outside, they sent word to Him, summoning Him.
32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they tell Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.”
33Answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34Looking at those sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
35For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
