< Mark 3 >

1 He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there whose hand was withered.
And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:
2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him.
3 He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up.”
And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst:
4 He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
then saith He to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? but they were silent.
5 When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
And when He had looked round upon them with indignation, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and his hand was made as sound as the other.
6 The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him:
7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea.
8 from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing how great things He did, came unto Him.
9 He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.
Therefore He spake to his disciples, that there might be a small vessel attending Him, because of the multitude, least they should throng Him: for He had healed many,
10 For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him to touch Him.
11 The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!”
And impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God:
12 He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
but He strictly charged them not to make Him known.
13 He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
Then going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, and they came to Him:
14 He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach
and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel,
15 and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons;
16 Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter,
17 James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder);
and James the Son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, (and He surnamed them Boanerges, which is to say, Sons of thunder, ) and Andrew,
18 Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him.
20 The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
And they went into a house, and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat.
21 When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.”
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said He spends Himself too much.
22 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He is in league with Beelzebub, and casts out demons by the help of the prince of demons.
23 He summoned them and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand:
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided,
26 If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.
he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an end.
27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house.
No one can enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his goods; unless he first bind the strong man, and then he may pillage his house.
28 “Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme:
29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whosoever blasphemeth against the holy Ghost never hath forgiveness, but is liable to eternal damnation: (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 —because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
for they said, He hath an impure spirit.
31 His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
32 A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you.”
and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee.
33 He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren:
35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”
for whosoever doth the will of God, he is to me as my brother, my sister, and mother.
