St Mark 3
3
1AND he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days; that they might accuse him.
3And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.
4And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.
5And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.
6And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him.
9And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.
11And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying:
12Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known.
13And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him.
14And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.
15And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.
16And to Simon he gave the name Peter:
17And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
18And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananean:
19And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.
22And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
23And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?
24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.
27No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house.
28Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme:
29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.
30Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit.
31And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?
34And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
35For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Mark 3
3
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
1He entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. 2They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3He *said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” 4And He *said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. 5After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him. 9And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. 11Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.
The Twelve Are Chosen
13And He *went up on the mountain and *summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. 14And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, 15and to have authority to cast out the demons. 16And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”); 18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20And He *came #Lit into a househome, and the crowd *gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. 21When His own #Or kinsmenpeople heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.” 22The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.” 23And He called them to Himself and began speaking 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 will not be able to stand. 26If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished! 27But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31Then His mother and His brothers *arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. 32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they *said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.” 33Answering them, He *said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He *said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
