Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
1Again Jesus went into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was #3:1 The Greek word also means “to dry out” and may indicate that the condition resulted from disease or an accident.withered. [Matt 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11] 2The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him [in the Jewish high court]. 3He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up and come forward!” 4He asked them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath 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 at the hardness and arrogance of their hearts, He told the man, “Hold out your hand.” And he held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the #3:6 A secular political party of Jews that strongly supported Herod Antipas and Rome, and opposed the Pharisees on most issues.Herodians [to plot] against Him, as to how #3:6 The Pharisees and Herodians set aside their religious and political differences to form a conspiracy.they might [fabricate some legal grounds to] put Him to death.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a large crowd from Galilee followed Him; and also people from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and [from the region] beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon; a vast number of people came to Him because they were hearing about all [the things] that He was doing. 9And He told His disciples to have a small boat stand ready for Him because of the many people, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, and as a result all who had diseases pressed around Him to touch Him. 11Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and screamed out, “You are the Son of God!” 12Jesus sternly warned them [again and again] not to tell who He was.
The Twelve Are Chosen
13He went up on the hillside and called those whom He Himself wanted and chose; and they came to Him. 14And He appointed #3:14 See notes Matt 10:2-4.twelve [disciples], so that they would be with Him [for instruction] and so that He could send them out to preach [the gospel as apostles—that is, as His special messengers, personally chosen representatives], 15and to have authority and power to cast out demons. 16He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), [Matt 10:2-4; Luke 6:13-16] 17and James, the son of #3:17 It is believed that Salome, Zebedee’s wife and the mother of James and John, was a sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus.Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”); 18and [He also appointed] Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathanael), and Matthew (Levi the tax collector), and Thomas, and #3:18 Also called James the Less or James the Younger. It is believed that his mother, Mary (Gr Maria), was a sister or sister-in-law of Mary, the mother of Jesus.James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas the son of James), and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20Then He came to a #3:20 Probably Simon Peter’s house; cf 2:1, 2.house [in Capernaum], and a crowd formed again, so [many people] that Jesus and His disciples could not even eat a meal [together]. 21When His own family heard this they went to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He is out of His mind.” 22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by #3:22 I.e. an idol worshiped in the Philistine city of Ekron: Baal Zebul, lord of the high places or Baal Zebub, lord of the flies.Beelzebul (Satan),” and “He is driving out the demons by the [power of the] ruler of the demons.” [Matt 12:22-37; Luke 11:14-28] 23So He called them to Himself and spoke to them in #3:23 Parables ordinarily were used for clarification, but Jesus often used them to hide sacred truths from unbelievers (see 4:11, 12).parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided [split into factions and rebelling] against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27But no one can go into a strong man’s house and steal his property unless he first overpowers and ties up the strong man, and then he will ransack and rob his house. [Is 49:24, 25; Matt 12:29]
28 “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and all the abusive and blasphemous things they say; 29but whoever #3:29 Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is denying all the work of the Holy Spirit. This leads ultimately to rejecting the deity of Christ.blasphemes against the Holy Spirit and His power [by attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin [a sin which is unforgivable in this present age as well as in the age to come]”— [Matt 12:32; Luke 12:10] 30[Jesus said this] because the scribes and Pharisees were [attributing His miracles to Satan by] saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called for Him. [Matt 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21] 32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Look! Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You.” 33And He replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34Looking at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35For #3:35 A universal offer.whoever does the will of God [by believing in Me, and following Me], he is My brother and sister and mother.”

Markos 3
3
1And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered again into the shul. And there was there a man having a withered hand.
2And they were watching Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [to see] if on Shabbos he will heal him, in order that they might accuse him.
3And he says to the man, the one with the withered hand, Stand up here in the center.
4And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Is it mutar (permissible) on Shabbos to do tov or rah, to restore nefesh or to destroy [it]? But they were silent.
5And having looked [at] them with ka'as and having agmat nefesh (grief) at the stubborn hardness of their levavot, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to the man, Stretch out your hand. And the man stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6And ofen ort (immediately) the Perushim went out and held consultation with the party of Herod against him, as to how they might destroy him.
7And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with his talmidim went away to the lake, and a great multitude from the Galil and also from Yehudah followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
8And from Yerushalayim and from Idumea and from the other side of the Yarden and from around Tzor-Tzidon area, a great multitude [followed], hearing everything that he was doing, and they came to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach.
9And he said to his talmidim that a sirah (boat) should stand ready for him, lest the multitude might crush him.
10For he had brought refuah to many, with the result that as many as had afflictions pressed in on him in order to touch him.
11And the ruchot hatemeiot (unclean spirits), whenever they saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, were falling before him and were crying out, saying, You are the Ben HaElohim!
12And he sternly rebuked them, lest they should make him known.
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach goes up to the mountain and summons those whom he wanted, and they came to him.
14And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appointed and gave smichah to Shneym Asar (Twelve), whom also he designated Shlichim, that they might be with him,#3:14 be mishtatef in Moshiachʼs chavurah and that he might send them out as his Shlichim to preach,
15and to have samchut (authority) to cast out shedim.
16And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appointed the Shneym Asar: Shim'on, to whom he gave the name Kefa,
17And Ya'akov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan, Ya'akovʼs brother. He gave to them the name Bnei Regesh, (Sons of Thunder).
18And Andrew and Philippos and Bar-Talmai, and Mattityahu, and T'oma, and Ya'akov Ben-Chalfai, and Taddai, and Shim'on the Zealot,
19And Yehudah from K'riot, the one who betrayed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach goes to his home shtetl; and again the multitude assembles, with the result that they were not able to have okhel (food).
21And when his own mishpochah heard of this, they went out to constrain him. For they were saying, He is meshuga.
22And the Sofrim (Scribes), the ones coming down from Yerushalayim, were saying, He is possessed by Baal-zibbul and by the Sar HaShedim he casts out shedim.
23But having called them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking to them in meshalim: How can HaSatan cast out HaSatan?
24And if a malchut is divided against itself, it is not possible for that malchut to stand.
25And if a bais is divided against itself, it will not be possible for that bais to stand.
26And if HaSatan has risen up against himself and is divided, it is not possible for him to stand, but his end has arrived.
27But no one is able, having entered into the house of the Gibbor to plunder his possessions, unless first, he binds HaGibbor, and then he will plunder the Bayit HaGibbor.
28Omein, I say to you that for everything — for the averos (sins) and the Chillul Hashem (Desecration of the Name), whatever blasphemies they may utter — the Bnei Adam will be granted selicha.
29But whoever commits Chillul Hashem gidduf against the Ruach Hakodesh, can never have selicha, but is guilty of a Chet Olam.
30For they were saying, He has a ruach hatumah (an unclean spirit).
31And the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and his achim come and stand outside and they sent word to him.
32And a multitude was sitting around him, and they are saying to him, Hinei! Your Em (Mother)! And your achim (brothers)! And your achayot (sisters) are outside looking for you.
33And in reply to them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Who is immi? And my achim (brothers)?
34And having looked around at the ones sitting around him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Hinei! Immi and my achim!
35For whoever does the ratzon Hashem, this one is my brother and my sister and mother.
