A Man with a Paralyzed Hand
(Matthew 12.9-14; Luke 6.6-11)
1The next time Jesus went into the synagogue, a man with a paralyzed hand was there. 2The Pharisees#3.2 Pharisees: The Greek text has “they” (but see verse 6). wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong, and they kept watching to see if Jesus would heal him on the Sabbath.
3Jesus told the man to stand up where everyone could see him. 4Then he asked, “On the Sabbath should we do good deeds or evil deeds? Should we save someone's life or destroy it?” But no one said a word.
5Jesus was angry as he looked around at the people. Yet he felt sorry for them because they were so stubborn. Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his bad hand was healed.
6The Pharisees left. And at once they started making plans with Herod's followers#3.6 Herod's followers: People who were political followers of the family of Herod the Great and his son Herod Antipas. to kill Jesus.
Large Crowds Come to Jesus
7Jesus led his disciples down to the shore of the lake. Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Judea, 8and Jerusalem. People came from Idumea, as well as other places east of the Jordan River. They also came from the region around the towns of Tyre and Sidon. All of these crowds came because they had heard what Jesus was doing. 9#Mk 4.1; Lk 5.1-3. He even had to tell his disciples to get a boat ready to keep him from being crushed by the crowds.
10After Jesus had healed many people, the other sick people begged him to let them touch him. 11And whenever any evil spirits saw Jesus, they would fall to the ground and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12But Jesus warned the spirits not to tell who he was.
Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10.1-4; Luke 6.12-16)
13Jesus decided to ask some of his disciples to go up on a mountain with him, and they went. 14Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles,#3.14 to be his apostles: These words are not in some manuscripts. so they could be with him. He also wanted to send them out to preach 15and to force out demons. 16Simon was one of the twelve, and Jesus named him Peter. 17There were also James and John, the two sons of Zebedee. Jesus called them Boanerges, which means “Thunderbolts.” 18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus were also apostles. The others were Simon, known as the Eager One,#3.18 known as the Eager One: The Greek text has “Cananaean,” which probably comes from a Hebrew word meaning “zealous” (see Luke 6.15). “Zealot” was the name later given to the members of a Jewish group that resisted and fought against the Romans. 19and Judas Iscariot,#3.19 Iscariot: This may mean “a man from Kerioth” (a place in Judea). But more probably it means “a man who was a liar” or “a man who was a betrayer.” who later betrayed Jesus.
Jesus and the Ruler of Demons
(Matthew 12.22-32; Luke 11.14-23; 12.10)
20Jesus went back home,#3.20 went back home: Or “entered a house” (perhaps the home of Simon Peter). and once again such a large crowd gathered that there was no chance even to eat. 21When Jesus' family heard what he was doing, they thought he was crazy and went to get him under control.
22 #
Mt 9.34; 10.25. Some teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem and said, “This man is under the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons! He is even forcing out demons with the help of Beelzebul.”
23Jesus told the people to gather around him. Then he spoke to them in riddles and said:
How can Satan force himself out? 24A nation whose people fight each other won't last very long. 25And a family that fights won't last long either. 26So if Satan fights against himself, that will be the end of him.
27How can anyone break into the house of a strong man and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything.
28I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are. 29#Lk 12.10. But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven. That sin will be held against you forever.
30Jesus said this because the people were saying that he had an evil spirit in him.
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12.46-50; Luke 8.19-21)
31Jesus' mother and brothers came and stood outside. Then they sent someone with a message for him to come out to them. 32The crowd sitting around Jesus told him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisters#3.32 and sisters: These words are not in some manuscripts. are outside and want to see you.”
33Jesus asked, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?” 34Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 35Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother.”

Pinagaling ang Lalaking Paralisado ang Isang Kamay
(Mt. 12:9-14; Lu. 6:6-11)
1Muling pumasok si Jesus sa sinagoga. Naratnan niya roon ang isang lalaking paralisado ang isang kamay. 2Pinagmasdan ng ilang taong naroroon kung pagagalingin ni Jesus ang lalaking iyon sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, upang may maiparatang sila laban sa kanya. 3Tinawag ni Jesus ang lalaking paralisado ang kamay, “Halika rito!” 4Pagkatapos, tinanong naman niya ang mga tao, “Alin ba ang naaayon sa Kautusan, ang gumawa ng mabuti, o ang gumawa ng masama sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? Ang magligtas ng buhay, o ang pumatay?”
Ngunit hindi sila sumagot. 5Tiningnan ni Jesus ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya. Nagalit siya at nalungkot dahil sa katigasan ng kanilang mga puso. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa maysakit, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay.” Iniunat naman ng lalaki ang kanyang kamay at ito'y gumaling. 6Umalis ang mga Pariseo at agad nakipagsabwatan sa mga tagasunod ni Herodes upang maipapatay si Jesus.
Ang Napakaraming Tao sa Tabi ng Lawa
7Umalis si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad at sila'y nagpunta sa tabi ng lawa. Sinundan siya roon ng napakaraming taong buhat sa Galilea, sa Judea, 8sa Jerusalem, sa Idumea, sa ibayo ng Jordan, at sa palibot ng Tiro at Sidon. Sumunod sila kay Jesus dahil nabalitaan nila ang lahat ng ginagawa niya. 9Dahil#Mc. 4:1; Lu. 5:1-3. napakarami ng mga tao, inutusan ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad na maghanda ng isang bangkang masasakyan niya upang hindi siya maipit ng mga taong dumaragsa. 10Sapagkat marami na siyang pinagaling, dinudumog siya ng lahat ng maysakit upang mahawakan man lamang siya. 11Bawat taong sinasapian ng masamang espiritu na makakita sa kanya ay nagpapatirapa sa harapan niya at sumisigaw, “Ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos!” 12Ngunit mahigpit na inutusan ni Jesus ang masasamang espiritu na huwag ipagsabi kung sino siya.
Ang Pagpili ni Jesus sa Labindalawang Apostol
(Mt. 10:1-4; Lu. 6:12-16)
13Pagkatapos nito, umakyat si Jesus sa bundok at tinawag ang mga taong pinili niya, at lumapit sila sa kanya. 14Pumili siya ng labindalawa [na tinawag niyang mga apostol].#3:14 na tinawag niyang mga apostol: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. Hinirang niya ang mga ito upang makasama niya at isugo upang mangaral. 15Sila ay binigyan din niya ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng mga demonyo. 16[Ito ang labindalawang hinirang niya:]#3:16 Ito ang labindalawang hinirang niya: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. si Simon, na pinangalanan niyang Pedro; 17ang magkapatid na sina Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedeo (sila'y tinawag niyang Boanerges, na ang kahulugan ay “mga anak ng kulog”); 18sina Andres, Felipe, Bartolome, Mateo, Tomas, Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, si Tadeo, si Simon na Makabayan, 19at si Judas Iscariote na siyang nagkanulo kay Jesus.
Si Jesus at si Beelzebul
(Mt. 12:22-32; Lu. 11:14-23; 12:10)
20Pag-uwi ni Jesus, muling nagkatipon doon ang napakaraming tao kaya't hindi na sila nagkaroon ng pagkakataong kumain pa. 21Nang mabalitaan iyon ng kanyang mga kamag-anak, pumunta sila roon upang kunin siya dahil maraming nagsasabi na siya'y nasisiraan ng bait.
22Sinasabi#Mt. 9:34; 10:25. naman ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na galing sa Jerusalem, “Sinasapian siya ni Beelzebul. Nakapagpapalayas siya ng demonyo sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng pinuno ng mga demonyo!”
23Dahil dito, pinalapit ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila ang ilang talinghaga. Sabi niya, “Paanong mapapalayas ni Satanas ang kanyang sarili? 24Kapag naglaban-laban ang mga mamamayan ng isang kaharian, mawawasak ang kahariang iyon. 25Kapag naglaban-laban ang mga kaanib ng isang sambahayan, magkakawatak-watak ang sambahayang iyon. 26Gayundin naman, kapag kinalaban ni Satanas ang kanyang sarili at nagkabaha-bahagi ang kanyang mga kampon, hindi siya magtatagal at iyon na ang kanyang magiging wakas.
27“Hindi maaaring pasukin at pagnakawan ang bahay ng isang taong malakas, malibang gapusin muna siya. Kapag siya'y nakagapos na, saka pa lamang mapagnanakawan ang kanyang bahay. 28Tandaan ninyo ito: maaaring patawarin ang tao sa lahat ng kanyang kasalanan at paglapastangan, 29ngunit#Lu. 12:10. ang sinumang lumapastangan sa Espiritu Santo ay walang kapatawaran, sapagkat siya ay nagkasala ng walang hanggang kasalanan.” 30Sinabi ito ni Jesus sapagkat sinasabi ng mga tao na siya'y sinasapian ng masamang espiritu.
Ang Ina at mga Kapatid ni Jesus
(Mt. 12:46-50; Lu. 8:19-21)
31Dumating ang ina at mga kapatid ni Jesus. Tumayo sila sa labas ng bahay at ipinatawag siya. 32Nang oras na iyon ay maraming taong nakaupo sa palibot ni Jesus. May nagsabi sa kanya, “Nasa labas po at naghihintay ang inyong ina at mga kapatid na lalaki [at mga kapatid na babae].#3:32 at mga kapatid na babae: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito.”
33“Sino ang aking ina at mga kapatid?” tanong naman ni Jesus. 34Tumingin siya sa mga nakaupo sa palibot at sinabi, “Ito ang aking ina at mga kapatid! 35Sapagkat ang mga sumusunod sa kalooban ng Diyos ang aking mga kapatid at aking ina.”
