Mark 3
1 Jesus went to the synagogue again. A man was there who had a crippled hand.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
2 Some of those there were watching Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath, because they were looking for a reason to accuse him of breaking the law.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛⲁⲑⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ
3 Jesus told the man with the crippled hand, “Come and stand here in front of everyone.”
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ.
4 “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? Should you save life, or should you kill?” he asked them. But they didn't say a word.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϫⲛ̅ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲥ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ
5 He looked around at them in exasperation, very upset by their hard-hearted attitude. Then he told the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ.
6 The Pharisees left, and immediately began plotting with Herod's party as to how they might kill Jesus.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ
7 Meanwhile Jesus returned to the Sea, and a large crowd followed him. They were from Galilee, Judea,
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲁⲛⲁⲭⲱⲣⲓ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛⲙ̅ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ
8 Jerusalem, Idumea, Transjordan, and from the regions of Tyre and Sidon. So many people came to see him because they'd heard all he was doing.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲙ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϯⲇⲟⲩⲙⲁⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲙⲡ̅ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲥⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲧϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
9 Jesus told his disciples to have a small boat ready in case the crowd crushed him,
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲉϫⲏⲩ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲕⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ
10 because he had healed so many that all the sick people kept on pressing towards him so they could touch him.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him they would fall down in front of him and shout out, “You are the Son of God!”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϣⲁⲩⲡⲁϩⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
12 But he commanded them not to reveal who he was.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 Then Jesus went away to the hill country. He called those he wanted to be with him, and they came to him.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ
14 He chose twelve to be with him, and called them apostles. They were to be with him, and he would send them out to announce the good news,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲛⲉϩⲙⲛⲧⲥ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ
15 and with the authority to drive out demons.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛϥ̅ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
16 These are the twelve he chose: Simon (whom he called Peter),

17 James the son of Zebedee and his brother John (who he called Boanerges, meaning “sons of thunder”),

18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,

19 and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed him).

20 Jesus went home, but such a large crowd gathered again that he and his disciples didn't even have time to eat.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲏⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲥⲣ̅ϥⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ
21 When Jesus' family heard about it, they came to take him away, saying, “He's lost his senses!”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲱϣⲥ.
22 But the religious leaders from Jerusalem said, “He's possessed by Beelzebub! It's by the ruler of demons that he's driving out demons!”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲃⲉⲉⲗⲍⲉⲃⲟⲩⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲉϫⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
23 But Jesus called them over to him. Using illustrations he asked them, “How can Satan throw out Satan?
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲛⲉϫⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
24 A kingdom fighting itself can't continue.

25 A household that's divided is doomed.

26 If Satan is divided and fights against himself, he won't last long—he'll soon come to an end.

27 Clearly, if someone breaks into the house of a strong man and tries to take his things, he won't get far in his theft unless he ties up the strong man first.”

31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They waited outside and sent him a message, asking him to come out.
