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.

The Man with the Paralyzed Hand
1Now # Mt 12:9-14; Lk 6:6-11 He entered the synagogue # Mk 1:21,39; Jms 2:2 again, and a man was there who had a paralyzed # Mk 4:6; 5:29; 9:18; 11:20-21 hand. 2In order to accuse # Rv 12:10 Him, they were watching Him closely # Lk 6:7; 14:1; 20:20 to see whether He would heal # Ac 8:7 him on the Sabbath. # Mk 2:23; Lk 13:10; 14:3 3He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.” # Lit Rise up in the middle 4Then He said to them, “Is it lawful # Jn 18:31 on the Sabbath to do what is good # Ps 34:14; Lk 18:18 or to do what is evil, # Ps 34:12-16; 1Pt 3:17 to save life # Php 2:12; Jms 5:20 or to kill? ” # Lk 20:15 But they were silent. # Lk 1:20; 19:40 5After looking around at them with anger # Jms 1:19 and sorrow at the hardness # Ex 7:13; Rm 11:25 of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. # Mk 8:25 6Immediately the Pharisees # Mk 7:3 went out and started plotting # Mt 12:14; Mk 15:1 with the Herodians # Mt 22:16; Mk 12:13 against Him, how they might destroy # Mk 11:18; Jn 5:18; 6:27 Him.
Ministering to the Multitude
7Jesus # Mt 4:24-25; 12:15-16; Lk 6:17-19 departed with His disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, # Mt 17:22 Judea, # Lk 1:5 8Jerusalem, # Mt 23:37 Idumea, beyond the Jordan, # Lk 3:3 and around Tyre # Ac 21:7 and Sidon. # Gn 49:13 The large crowd came to Him because they heard about everything He was doing. 9Then He told His disciples to have a small boat # Jn 21:8 ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him. 10Since He had healed # Ac 8:7 many, all who had diseases were pressing toward Him to touch # Jn 20:17 Him. 11Whenever the unclean # 2Co 6:17 spirits # Lk 11:24 saw Him, those possessed fell down # Lk 8:47 before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God! ” # Lk 4:34,41 12And He would strongly warn # 2Tm 4:2 them not to make Him known. # Mk 1:34
The 12 Apostles
13Then # Mt 10:2-4; Lk 6:12-16 He went up the mountain # Mt 4:8 and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him. 14He also appointed 12 — He also named them apostles # Other mss omit He also named them apostles # Ac 1:2; Jd 17 — to be with Him, to send them out to preach, # Mk 1:4 15and to have authority to # Other mss add heal diseases, and to drive out demons.
16He appointed the Twelve: # Other mss omit He appointed the Twelve # Mk 11:11; Jn 1:35-51
To Simon, # Mt 16:17 He gave the name Peter; # Ac 10:32
17and to James #Ac 12:2 the son of Zebedee, # Jn 21:2
and to his brother John, # Jn 21:7
He gave the name “Boanerges”
(that is, “Sons of Thunder” # Rv 6:1);
18Andrew; # Jn 6:8
Philip # Jn 1:43-48; 6:5,7; 12:21-22; 14:8-9 and Bartholomew;
Matthew # Ac 1:13 and Thomas; # Jn 11:16; 14:5; 20:24,26-28; 21:2
James the son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus;
Simon the Zealot, # Lit the Cananaean
19and Judas Iscariot, # Iscariot is probably “a man of Kerioth,” a town in Judea. # Mk 14:10,43; Ac 1:16,25
who also betrayed Him.
A House Divided
20Then He went home, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat. # Or eat a meal ; lit eat bread 21When His family # Jn 7:3 heard this, they set out to restrain Him, because they said, “He’s out of His mind.” # Lk 2:48; Jn 2:3-4; 7:3-5
22The scribes # Mt 2:4 who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul # Mt 10:25; 12:24,27; Lk 11:15-19 in Him! ” and, “He drives out # 3Jn 10 demons # Rv 9:20; 18:2 by the ruler # Lk 12:58 of the demons! ” # Mt 9:34; 12:24; Lk 11:15
23So He summoned # Lk 18:16 them and spoke to them in parables: # Mk 12:1 “How can Satan # Mk 1:13; 4:15; 8:33 drive out Satan? # Mt 12:25-29; Lk 11:17-22 24If a kingdom # Lk 4:5 is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished! # Lit but he has an end
27“On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man’s house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up # Mk 15:1 the strong man. Then he will rob his house. 28I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins # Lit All things will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies # Mt 12:31-32; Lk 12:10 they may blaspheme. 29But whoever blasphemes # Ac 7:51 against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, # Heb 6:4-6; 10:26-29; 1Jn 5:16 but is guilty # Mk 14:64 of an eternal sin” # Other mss read is subject to eternal judgment # 1Jn 5:16 — 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” # Lk 11:24
True Relationships
31Then # Mt 12:46-50; Lk 8:19-21 His mother # Mt 1:16 and His brothers # Jn 2:12 came, and standing outside, they sent word to Him and called Him. 32A crowd was sitting around Him and told Him, “Look, Your mother, Your brothers, # Mk 6:3 and Your sisters # Other mss omit and Your sisters are outside asking for You.”
33He replied to them, “Who are My mother and My brothers? ” 34And looking about at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! # Ac 9:30 35Whoever does the will of God # Rm 8:27; Gl 1:4; Eph 1:9; 1Jn 2:17 is My brother and sister and mother.”
