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.”

A Man with a Withered Hand Healed
1 And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there. 2And they were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him. 3And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come into the middle.” 4And he said to them, “Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your#Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun hand.” And he stretched it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation out, and his hand was restored. 6And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians and began to conspire#Literally “began to give counsel”; the imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive (“began to”) against him with regard to how they could destroy him.
Jesus Heals Crowds by the Sea
7And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea,#That is, the Sea of Galilee and a great crowd from Galilee followed him.#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation And from Judea 8and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him because they#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as causal heard all that he was doing. 9And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him. 10For he had healed many, so that all those who were suffering from diseases#Literally “had suffering” pressed about him in order that they could touch him. 11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, were falling down before him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God!” 12And he warned them strictly that they should not make him known.
The Selection of the Twelve Apostles
13And he went up on the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted, and they came to him. 14And he appointed twelve,#Some manuscripts add “whom he also named apostles” so that they would be with him and so that he could send them out to preach 15and to have authority to expel demons. 16And he appointed the twelve.#Most Greek manuscripts omit the phrase “and he appointed the twelve” And to Simon he gave the name Peter, 17and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (and he gave to them the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”), 18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,#Literally “the Cananean,” but according to BDAG 507 s.v., this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for “enthusiast, zealot” (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13) 19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
A House Divided Cannot Stand
20And he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they were not even able to eat a meal. 21And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as temporal his family#Literally those “close to him” heard this,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, “He has lost his mind!”
22And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!” and “By the ruler of the demons he expels the demons!” 23And he called them to himself and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“called”) has been translated as a finite verb was speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan expel Satan? 24And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to 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 is not able to stand, but is at an end! 27But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong man and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“enter”) has been translated as a finite verb plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man, and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.
28“Truly I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, however much they blaspheme. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever,#Literally “for the age” but is guilty of an eternal sin”—30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
31And his mother and his brothers arrived, and standing outside, they sent word to him to summon him. 32And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers#Some manuscripts add “and your sisters” are outside looking for you.” 33And he answered them and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“answered”) has been translated as a finite verb said, “Who is my mother or#Some manuscripts have “and” my brothers?” 34And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God, this person is my brother and sister and mother.”
