Mark 3:20-35

Jesus entered a house, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat.  When his family  heard this, they set out to restrain him, because they said, “He’s out of his mind.”  The scribes  who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,”  and, “He drives out  demons  by the ruler  of the demons.”  So he summoned  them and spoke to them in parables:  “How can Satan   drive out Satan?   If a kingdom   is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his possessions unless he first ties up   the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. “Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies   they utter. But whoever blasphemes   against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,   but is guilty   of an eternal sin”   ,  #— # because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”  His  mother  and his brothers  came, and standing outside, they sent word to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him and told him, “Look, your mother, your brothers,  and your sisters  are outside asking for you.” He replied to them, “Who are my mother and my brothers? ” Looking at those sitting in a circle around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!   Whoever does the will of God   is my brother and sister and mother.”
