Mark 3
3
1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered. 2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth. 4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored. 6And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
7And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judæa, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him. 9And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him: 10for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him. 11And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12And he charged them much that they should not make him known.
13And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him. 14And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15and to have authority to cast out demons: 16and Simon he surnamed Peter; 17and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder: 18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Cananæan, 19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
And he cometh into a house. 20And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons. 23And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26And if Satan hath risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27But no one can enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 28Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: 30because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
31And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. 32And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren? 34And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! 35For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Mark 3
3
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.”
