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."

The Man With a Withered Hand
Mt 12:9–14; Lk 6:6–11
1#Mt 12:9–14; Mk 1:21Again, He entered the synagogue, and there was a man who had a withered hand. 2#Lk 14:1; 6:7They watched Him to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up.”
4Then He said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.
5#Lk 6:10; Ro 11:25When He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch your hand forward.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 6#Mt 22:16; Mk 12:13Then the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to kill Him.
The Crowd at the Seaside
7#Mt 4:25; Lk 6:17Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed Him from Galilee and Judea 8#Eze 35:15; Isa 34:5and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And those from Tyre and Sidon, a great crowd, when they heard what great things He did, came to Him. 9He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they should crush Him. 10#Mt 14:36; Mk 6:56For He had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed on Him to touch Him. 11#Mt 4:3; 14:33When unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him, crying out, “You are the Son of God.” 12#Mt 12:16; Mk 1:25But He sternly ordered them not to make Him known.
The Choosing of the Twelve Apostles
Mt 10:1–4; Lk 6:12–16
13He went up into the mountain and called to Him those whom He desired, and they came to Him. 14He ordained twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach, 15and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16#Jn 1:42; Ac 1:13Simon, whom He named Peter; 17James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, whom he surnamed Boanerges (meaning Sons of Thunder); 18#Ac 1:13; Mk 2:14; Mt 9:9Andrew,and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus; andThaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
Jesus and Beelzebub
Mt 12:22–32; Lk 11:14–23; 12:10
20#Mk 6:31Then they entered a house, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat bread. 21#Jn 10:20; Ac 26:24When His family heard of it, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is beside Himself.”
22#Mt 9:34; 10:25And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”
23#Mt 13:34So He called them to Him 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. 26And if Satan rises up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27#Isa 53:12; Mt 12:29No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then he will plunder his house. 28#Mt 12:31–32; Lk 12:10Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they speak. 29#Mt 25:46; Mk 12:40But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal condemnation.”
30For they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
The Mother and Brothers of Jesus
Mt 12:46–50; Lk 8:19–21
31#Lk 8:19–21Then His mother and His brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him. 32The crowd sat around Him and said to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You.”
33He answered, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34Then He looked around at those who sat around Him and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35#Mt 7:21; 1Jn 2:17For whoever does the will of God is My brother, and My sister, and My mother.”
