Mark 3

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.”

Mark 3
3
1 And again, he entered into the synagogue. And there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2 And they observed him, to see if he would cure on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him.
3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Stand up in the middle."
4 And he said to them: "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbaths, or to do evil, to give health to a life, or to destroy?" But they remained silent.
5 And looking around at them with anger, being very saddened over the blindness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Extend your hand." And he extended it, and his hand was restored to him.
6 Then the Pharisees, going out, immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, as to how they might destroy him.
7 But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and across the Jordan. And those around Tyre and Sidon, upon hearing what he was doing, came to him in a great multitude.
9 And he told his disciples that a small boat would be useful to him, because of the crowd, lest they press upon him.
10 For he healed so many, that as many of them as had wounds would rush toward him in order to touch him.
11 And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell prostrate before him. And they cried out, saying,
12 "You are the Son of God." And he strongly admonished them, lest they make him known.
13 And ascending onto a mountain, he called to himself those whom he willed, and they came to him.
14 And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
15 And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
16 and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
17 and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name 'Boanerges,' that is, 'Sons of Thunder;'
18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20 And they went to a house, and the crowd gathered together again, so much so that they were not even able to eat bread.
21 And when his own had heard of it, they went out to take hold of him. For they said: "Because he has gone mad."
22 And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, "Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons."
23 And having called them together, he spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, he would be divided, and he would not be able to stand; instead he reaches the end.
27 No one is able to plunder the goods of a strong man, having entered into the house, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28 Amen I say to you, that all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies by which they will have blasphemed.
29 But he who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit shall not have forgiveness in eternity; instead he shall be guilty of an eternal offense."
30 For they said: "He has an unclean spirit."
31 And his mother and brothers arrived. And standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 And the crowd was sitting around him. And they said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you."
33 And responding to them, he said, "Who is my mother and my brothers?"
34 And looking around at those who were sitting all around him, he said: "Behold, my mother and my brothers.
35 For whoever has done the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister and mother."
