Mark 3
3
1He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there whose hand was withered. 2They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him. 3He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up.” 4He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other. 6The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea, 8from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him. 9He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him. 10For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him. 11The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!” 12He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
13He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him. 14He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach 15and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter); 17James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder); 18Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Then he came into a house. 20The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.” 22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
23He summoned them and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end. 27But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house.
28 “Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme; 29but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.”#3:29 NU reads, guilty of an eternal sin. 30—because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him. 32A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters#3:32 TR omits “your sisters” are outside looking for you.”
33He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”

Mark (Mrk) 3
3
1Yeshua went again into a synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, people watched him carefully to see if he would heal him on Shabbat. 3He said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come up where we can see you!” 4Then to them he said, “What is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or killing?” But they said nothing. 5Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” As he held it out, it became restored. 6The P’rushim went out and immediately began plotting with some members of Herod’s party how to do away with him.
7Yeshua went off with his talmidim to the lake, and great numbers followed him from the Galil. 8When they heard what he was doing, great numbers also followed him from Y’hudah, Yerushalayim, Idumea, the territory beyond the Yarden, and the Tzor-Tzidon area. 9He told his talmidim to have a boat ready for him, so that he could escape the crush of the crowd if necessary, 10for he had healed many people, and all the sick kept pressing forward to touch him. 11Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, “You are the Son of God!” 12But he warned them strictly not to make him known.
13Then he went up into the hill country and summoned to himself those he wanted, and they came to him. 14He appointed twelve to be with him, to be sent out to preach 15and to have authority to expel demons:
16Shim‘on, to whom he gave another name, “Kefa”;
17Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan, Ya‘akov’s brother — to them he gave the name “B’nei-Regesh” (that is, “Thunderers”);
18Andrew, Philip, Bar-Talmai, Mattityahu, T’oma, Ya‘akov Ben-Halfai, Taddai, Shim‘on the Zealot,
19and Y’hudah from K’riot, the one who betrayed him.
Then he entered a house; 20and once more, such a crowd came together that they couldn’t even eat. 21When his family heard about this, they set out to take charge of him; for they said, “He’s out of his mind!”
22The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Ba‘al-Zibbul in him,” and “It is by the ruler of the demons that he expels the demons.” 23But he called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan expel Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom can’t survive; 25and if a household is divided against itself, that household can’t survive. 26So if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he can’t survive either; and that’s the end of him. 27Furthermore, no one can break into a strong man’s house and make off with his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. After that, he can ransack his house. 28Yes! I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29however, someone who blasphemes against the Ruach HaKodesh never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin.” 30For they had been saying, “He has an unclean spirit in him.”
31Then his mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent a message asking for him. 32A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.” 33He replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34Looking at those seated in a circle around him, he said, “See! Here are my mother and my brothers! 35Whoever does what God wants is my brother, sister and mother!”
