Mark 3
3
1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up. 2And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him. 3And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up and come into the midst. 4And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent. 5And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. 7And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him. 9And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him. 10For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues. 11And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.
13And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him. 14And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach, 15and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons. 16And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter; 17and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of 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 Cananaean, 19and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to the house. 20And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread. 21And his relatives having heard of it went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.
22And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons. 23And having called them to him, he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist. 25And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist. 26And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end. 27But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong man unless he first bind the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. 28Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously; 29but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin; 30— because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him. 32And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without. 33And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren? 34And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren: 35for whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
1Again Jesus went into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was #3:1 The Greek word also means “to dry out” and may indicate that the condition resulted from disease or an accident.withered. [Matt 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11] 2The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him [in the Jewish high court]. 3He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up and come forward!” 4He asked them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath 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 at the hardness and arrogance of their hearts, He told the man, “Hold out your hand.” And he held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the #3:6 A secular political party of Jews that strongly supported Herod Antipas and Rome, and opposed the Pharisees on most issues.Herodians [to plot] against Him, as to how #3:6 The Pharisees and Herodians set aside their religious and political differences to form a conspiracy.they might [fabricate some legal grounds to] put Him to death.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a large crowd from Galilee followed Him; and also people from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and [from the region] beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon; a vast number of people came to Him because they were hearing about all [the things] that He was doing. 9And He told His disciples to have a small boat stand ready for Him because of the many people, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, and as a result all who had diseases pressed around Him to touch Him. 11Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and screamed out, “You are the Son of God!” 12Jesus sternly warned them [again and again] not to tell who He was.
The Twelve Are Chosen
13He went up on the hillside and called those whom He Himself wanted and chose; and they came to Him. 14And He appointed #3:14 See notes Matt 10:2-4.twelve [disciples], so that they would be with Him [for instruction] and so that He could send them out to preach [the gospel as apostles—that is, as His special messengers, personally chosen representatives], 15and to have authority and power to cast out demons. 16He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), [Matt 10:2-4; Luke 6:13-16] 17and James, the son of #3:17 It is believed that Salome, Zebedee’s wife and the mother of James and John, was a sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus.Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”); 18and [He also appointed] Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathanael), and Matthew (Levi the tax collector), and Thomas, and #3:18 Also called James the Less or James the Younger. It is believed that his mother, Mary (Gr Maria), was a sister or sister-in-law of Mary, the mother of Jesus.James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas the son of James), and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20Then He came to a #3:20 Probably Simon Peter’s house; cf 2:1, 2.house [in Capernaum], and a crowd formed again, so [many people] that Jesus and His disciples could not even eat a meal [together]. 21When His own family heard this they went to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He is out of His mind.” 22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by #3:22 I.e. an idol worshiped in the Philistine city of Ekron: Baal Zebul, lord of the high places or Baal Zebub, lord of the flies.Beelzebul (Satan),” and “He is driving out the demons by the [power of the] ruler of the demons.” [Matt 12:22-37; Luke 11:14-28] 23So He called them to Himself and spoke to them in #3:23 Parables ordinarily were used for clarification, but Jesus often used them to hide sacred truths from unbelievers (see 4:11, 12).parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided [split into factions and rebelling] against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27But no one can go into a strong man’s house and steal his property unless he first overpowers and ties up the strong man, and then he will ransack and rob his house. [Is 49:24, 25; Matt 12:29]
28 “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and all the abusive and blasphemous things they say; 29but whoever #3:29 Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is denying all the work of the Holy Spirit. This leads ultimately to rejecting the deity of Christ.blasphemes against the Holy Spirit and His power [by attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin [a sin which is unforgivable in this present age as well as in the age to come]”— [Matt 12:32; Luke 12:10] 30[Jesus said this] because the scribes and Pharisees were [attributing His miracles to Satan by] saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called for Him. [Matt 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21] 32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Look! Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You.” 33And He replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34Looking at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35For #3:35 A universal offer.whoever does the will of God [by believing in Me, and following Me], he is My brother and sister and mother.”
