A Mitzvah on Shabbat
1Yeshua entered the synagogue again, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2Now some were carefully watching Him, to see if He would heal him on Shabbat, so that they might accuse Him.
3He said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up here in the center.”
4Then He said to them, “Is it permitted on Shabbat 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 by their hardness of heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6The Pharisees went out right away with the Herodians and began plotting against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Crowds Clamor for Yeshua
7Yeshua withdrew to the sea with His disciples, and a large crowd from the Galilee followed. From Judea,
8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing all He was doing, came to Him.
9He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t mob Him.
10For He had healed many, so that all those afflicted fell down before Him in order to touch Him.
11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, would fall down before Him and cry out, “You are Ben-Elohim!”
12But Yeshua strictly ordered them not to make Him known.
Appointing the Twelve
13Now He climbs up on the mountain and calls those He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.
14He appointed twelve (whom He also named emissaries), so that they might be with Him and He might send them to proclaim the Good News,
15and to have power to drive out demons.
16And He appointed the Twelve: to Simon He gave the name Peter;
17to Jacob and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, He gave the name Boanerges, which is Sons of Thunder;
18and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Jacob the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;
19and Judah from Kriot, who also betrayed Him.
Binding the Strong Man
20Then He comes into a house, and again a crowd gathers so they couldn’t even eat.
21When His family heard about this, they went out to take hold of Him; for they were saying, “He’s out of His mind!”
22The Torah scholars who came down from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of demons He drives out demons.”
23He called them and began speaking to them in parables: “How can satan drive out satan?
24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26And if satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but his end has come.
27“But no one can enter a strong man’s house to ransack his property, unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will thoroughly plunder his house.
28Amen, I tell you, all things will be forgiven the sons of men, the sins and whatever blasphemies they utter;
29but whoever slanders the Ruach ha-Kodesh never has release, but is guilty of an eternal sin!”
30For they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
A Spiritual Family Begins
31Then His mother and brothers come. Standing outside, they sent word to Him, summoning Him.
32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they tell Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.”
33Answering them, He said, “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!
35For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

The Man with the Paralyzed Hand
1Now # Mt 12:9-14; Lk 6:6-11 He entered the synagogue # Mk 1:21,39; Jms 2:2 again, and a man was there who had a paralyzed # 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 paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.” # Lit Rise up in the middle 4Then He said to them, “Is it lawful # Jn 18:31 on the Sabbath to do what is good # Ps 34:14; Lk 18:18 or to do what is 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 and sorrow at the hardness # Ex 7:13; Rm 11:25 of their hearts, He 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 destroy # 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 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 the crowd would not 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, those possessed 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 12 Apostles
13Then # Mt 10:2-4; Lk 6:12-16 He went up the mountain # Mt 4:8 and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him. 14He also appointed 12 — He also named them apostles # 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 # Other mss add heal diseases, and to drive out demons.
16He appointed the Twelve: # 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, # Lit the Cananaean
19and Judas Iscariot, # Iscariot is probably “a man of Kerioth,” a town in Judea. # Mk 14:10,43; Ac 1:16,25
who also betrayed Him.
A House Divided
20Then He went home, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat. # 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 has Beelzebul # Mt 10:25; 12:24,27; Lk 11:15-19 in Him! ” 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 rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished! # Lit but he has an end
27“On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man’s house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up # Mk 15:1 the strong man. Then he will rob his house. 28I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins # Lit All things will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies # Mt 12:31-32; Lk 12:10 they may blaspheme. 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” # 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
31Then # Mt 12:46-50; Lk 8:19-21 His 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 # Other mss omit and Your sisters are outside asking for You.”
33He replied to them, “Who are My mother and My brothers? ” 34And looking about at those who were 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.”
