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.”

Marqos (Mark) 3
3
1And He went into the congregation again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.
2And they were watching Him, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so as to accuse Him.
3And He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up to the middle.”
4And He said to them, “Is it right to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5And having looked around on them with displeasure, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
6And the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him.
7But יהושע withdrew with His taught ones to the sea. And a great crowd from Galil followed Him, and from Yehuḏah.
8Even from Yerushalayim, and from Eḏom and beyond the Yardĕn, and those around Tsor and Tsiḏon, a large crowd came to Him when they heard how much He was doing.
9And He spoke to His taught ones, that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they should press upon Him.
10For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions fell upon Him to touch Him.
11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of Elohim.”
12But He warned them many times that they should not make Him known.
13And He went up on the mountain and called to Him whom He wished, and they came to Him.
14And He appointed twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to proclaim,
15and to possess authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.
16And He appointed the twelve: Shim‛on, to whom He added the name Kĕpha;
17and Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan the brother of Ya‛aqoḇ, to whom He added the name Beni-Reḡes, that is, “Sons of Thunder,”
18and Andri, and Philip, and Bartholomi, and Mattithyahu, and T’oma, and Ya‛aqoḇ son of Alphai, and Taddai, and Shim‛on the Kena‛anite;
19and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up. And they went into a house,
20and again the crowd came together, so that they were unable even to eat bread.
21And when His relatives heard about this, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.”
22And the scribes who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Be‛elzebul,” and, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
23And calling them near He said to them in parables, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan?
24“And if a reign is divided against itself, that reign is unable to stand.
25“And if a house is divided against itself, that house is unable to stand.
26“And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he is unable to stand, but has an end.
27“No one is able to enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28“Truly, I say to you, all the sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they speak,
29but he who blasphemes against the Set-apart Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is subject to everlasting judgment,”
30because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31And His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.
32And a crowd was sitting around Him. And they said to Him, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.”
33But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”
34And looking about on those sitting round Him, He said, “See My mother and My brothers!
35“For whoever does the desire of Elohim is My brother and My sister and mother.”#See Mat. 12:50; Luke 8:21
