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
A Man with a Withered Hand Healed
1 And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there. 2And they were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him. 3And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come into the middle.” 4And he said to them, “Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your#Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun hand.” And he stretched it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation out, and his hand was restored. 6And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians and began to conspire#Literally “began to give counsel”; the imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive (“began to”) against him with regard to how they could destroy him.
Jesus Heals Crowds by the Sea
7And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea,#That is, the Sea of Galilee and a great crowd from Galilee followed him.#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation And from Judea 8and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him because they#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as causal heard all that he was doing. 9And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him. 10For he had healed many, so that all those who were suffering from diseases#Literally “had suffering” pressed about him in order that they could touch him. 11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, were falling down before him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God!” 12And he warned them strictly that they should not make him known.
The Selection of the Twelve Apostles
13And he went up on the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted, and they came to him. 14And he appointed twelve,#Some manuscripts add “whom he also named apostles” so that they would be with him and so that he could send them out to preach 15and to have authority to expel demons. 16And he appointed the twelve.#Most Greek manuscripts omit the phrase “and he appointed the twelve” And to Simon he gave the name Peter, 17and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (and he gave to them the name 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 Zealot,#Literally “the Cananean,” but according to BDAG 507 s.v., this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for “enthusiast, zealot” (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13) 19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
A House Divided Cannot Stand
20And he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they were not even able to eat a meal. 21And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as temporal his family#Literally those “close to him” heard this,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, “He has lost his mind!”
22And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!” and “By the ruler of the demons he expels the demons!” 23And he called them to himself and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“called”) has been translated as a finite verb was speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan expel Satan? 24And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand, but is at an end! 27But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong man and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“enter”) has been translated as a finite verb plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man, and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.
28“Truly I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, however much they blaspheme. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever,#Literally “for the age” but is guilty of an eternal sin”—30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
31And his mother and his brothers arrived, and standing outside, they sent word to him to summon him. 32And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers#Some manuscripts add “and your sisters” are outside looking for you.” 33And he answered them and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“answered”) has been translated as a finite verb said, “Who is my mother or#Some manuscripts have “and” my brothers?” 34And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God, this person is my brother and sister and mother.”
