Mark 3
3
1Jesus#Mt 12:9–14; Lk 6:6–11 entered the synagogue#Mk 1:21,39; Jms 2:2 again, and a man was there who had a shriveled#Mk 4:6; 5:29; 9:18; 11:20–21 hand. 2In order to accuse#Rv 12:10 him, they were watching him closely#Lk 6:7; 14:1; 20:20 to see whether he would heal#Ac 8:7 him on the Sabbath.#Mk 2:23; Lk 13:10; 14:3 3He told the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand before us.” 4Then he said to them, “Is it lawful#Jn 18:31 to do good#Ps 34:14; Lk 18:18 on the Sabbath or to do evil,#Ps 34:12–16; 1Pt 3:17 to save life#Php 2:12; Jms 5:20 or to kill?” #Lk 20:15 But they were silent.#Lk 1:20; 19:40 5After looking around at them with anger,#Jms 1:19 he was grieved at the hardness#Ex 7:13; Rm 11:25 of their hearts and told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.#Mk 8:25 6Immediately the Pharisees#Mk 7:3 went out and started plotting#Mt 12:14; Mk 15:1 with the Herodians#Mt 22:16; Mk 12:13 against him, how they might kill#Mk 11:18; Jn 5:18; 6:27 him.
Ministering to the Multitude
7Jesus#Mt 4:24–25; 12:15–16; Lk 6:17–19 departed with his disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee,#Mt 17:22 and a large crowd followed from Judea,#Lk 1:5 8Jerusalem,#Mt 23:37 Idumea, beyond the Jordan,#Lk 3:3 and around Tyre#Ac 21:7 and Sidon.#Gn 49:13 The large crowd came to him because they heard about everything he was doing. 9Then he told his disciples to have a small boat#Jn 21:8 ready for him, so that the crowd wouldn’t crush him. 10Since he had healed#Ac 8:7 many, all who had diseases were pressing toward him to touch#Jn 20:17 him. 11Whenever the unclean#2Co 6:17 spirits#Lk 11:24 saw him, they fell down#Lk 8:47 before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” #Lk 4:34,41 12And he would strongly warn#2Tm 4:2 them not to make him known.#Mk 1:34
The Twelve Apostles
13Jesus#Mt 10:2–4; Lk 6:12–16 went up the mountain#Mt 4:8 and summoned those he wanted, and they came to him. 14He appointed twelve, whom he also named apostles,#3:14 Other mss omit he also named them apostles#Ac 1:2; Jd 17 to be with him, to send them out to preach,#Mk 1:4 15and to have authority to#3:15 Other mss add heal diseases, and to drive out demons. 16He appointed the Twelve:#3:16 Other mss omit He appointed the Twelve#Mk 11:11; Jn 1:35–51 To Simon,#Mt 16:17 he gave the name Peter;#Ac 10:32 17and to James#Ac 12:2 the son of Zebedee,#Jn 21:2 and to his brother John,#Jn 21:7 he gave the name “Boanerges” (that is, “Sons of Thunder”#Rv 6:1); 18Andrew;#Jn 6:8 Philip#Jn 1:43–48; 6:5,7; 12:21–22; 14:8–9 and Bartholomew; Matthew#Ac 1:13 and Thomas;#Jn 11:16; 14:5; 20:24,26–28; 21:2 James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, 19and Judas Iscariot,#Mk 14:10,43; Ac 1:16,25 who also betrayed him.
A House Divided
20Jesus entered a house, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat.#3:20 Or eat a meal; lit eat bread 21When his family#Jn 7:3 heard this, they set out to restrain him, because they said, “He’s out of his mind.”#Lk 2:48; Jn 2:3–4; 7:3–5
22The scribes#Mt 2:4 who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,”#Mt 10:25; 12:24,27; Lk 11:15–19 and, “He drives out#3Jn 10 demons#Rv 9:20; 18:2 by the ruler#Lk 12:58 of the demons.”#Mt 9:34; 12:24; Lk 11:15
23So he summoned#Lk 18:16 them and spoke to them in parables:#Mk 12:1 “How can Satan#Mk 1:13; 4:15; 8:33 drive out Satan?#Mt 12:25–29; Lk 11:17–22 24If a kingdom#Lk 4:5 is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished. 27But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his possessions unless he first ties up#Mk 15:1 the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28 “Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies #
Mt 12:31–32; Lk 12:10 they utter. 29But whoever blasphemes#Ac 7:51 against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,#Heb 6:4–6; 10:26–29; 1Jn 5:16 but is guilty#Mk 14:64 of an eternal sin”#3:29 Other mss read is subject to eternal judgment#1Jn 5:16 — 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”#Lk 11:24
True Relationships
31His#Mt 12:46–50; Lk 8:19–21 mother#Mt 1:16 and his brothers#Jn 2:12 came, and standing outside, they sent word to him and called him. 32A crowd was sitting around him and told him, “Look, your mother, your brothers,#Mk 6:3 and your sisters#3:32 Other mss omit and your sisters are outside asking for you.”
33He replied to them, “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!#Ac 9:30 35Whoever does the will of God#Rm 8:27; Gl 1:4; Eph 1:9; 1Jn 2:17 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.
