Mark 3
1 Jesus went to the synagogue again. A man was there who had a crippled hand.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα.
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.
Καὶ παρετήρουν αὐτὸν, εἰ τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύσει αὐτόν, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
3 Jesus told the man with the crippled hand, “Come and stand here in front of everyone.”
Καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ τὴν χεῖρα ἔχοντι ξηράν, “Ἔγειρε εἰς τὸ μέσον.”
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.
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Ἔξεστιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀποκτεῖναι;” Οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων.
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.
Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος αὐτοὺς μετʼ ὀργῆς, συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, “Ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα σου.” Καὶ ἐξέτεινεν, καὶ ἀπεκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ.
6 The Pharisees left, and immediately began plotting with Herod's party as to how they might kill Jesus.
Καὶ ἐξελθόντες, οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εὐθὺς μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν συμβούλιον ἐποίησαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
7 Meanwhile Jesus returned to the Sea, and a large crowd followed him. They were from Galilee, Judea,
Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ἀνεχώρησεν πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν· καὶ πολὺ πλῆθος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἠκολούθησεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας,
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.
καὶ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ περὶ Τύρον καὶ Σιδῶνα, πλῆθος πολύ ἀκούοντες ὅσα ἐποίει, ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
9 Jesus told his disciples to have a small boat ready in case the crowd crushed him,
Καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν.
10 because he had healed so many that all the sick people kept on pressing towards him so they could touch him.
Πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐθεράπευσεν, ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ, ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται ὅσοι εἶχον μάστιγας.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him they would fall down in front of him and shout out, “You are the Son of God!”
Καὶ τὰ πνεύματα τὰ ἀκάθαρτα, ὅταν αὐτὸν ἐθεώρουν, προσέπιπτον αὐτῷ καὶ ἔκραζον λέγοντα, ὅτι “Σὺ εἶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
12 But he commanded them not to reveal who he was.
Καὶ πολλὰ ἐπετίμα αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ αὐτὸν φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν.
13 Then Jesus went away to the hill country. He called those he wanted to be with him, and they came to him.
Καὶ ἀναβαίνει εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ προσκαλεῖται οὓς ἤθελεν αὐτός, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
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,
Καὶ ἐποίησεν δώδεκα, οὓς καὶ ἀποστόλους ὠνόμασεν, ἵνα ὦσιν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν
15 and with the authority to drive out demons.
καὶ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 These are the twelve he chose: Simon (whom he called Peter),
Καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς δώδεκα: καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα τῷ Σίμωνι, Πέτρον,
17 James the son of Zebedee and his brother John (who he called Boanerges, meaning “sons of thunder”),
καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανηργές, ὅ ἐστιν “Υἱοὶ βροντῆς”,
18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
καὶ Ἀνδρέαν, καὶ Φίλιππον, καὶ Βαρθολομαῖον, καὶ Ματθαῖον, καὶ Θωμᾶν, καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου, καὶ Θαδδαῖον, καὶ Σίμωνα τὸν Καναναῖον,
19 and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed him).
καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριώθ, ὃς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν.
20 Jesus went home, but such a large crowd gathered again that he and his disciples didn't even have time to eat.
Καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς οἶκον, καὶ συνέρχεται πάλιν ὁ ὄχλος, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς μηδὲ ἄρτον φαγεῖν.
21 When Jesus' family heard about it, they came to take him away, saying, “He's lost his senses!”
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες, οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθον κρατῆσαι αὐτόν, ἔλεγον γὰρ, ὅτι “Ἐξέστη.”
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!”
Καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει”, καὶ, ὅτι “Ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.”
23 But Jesus called them over to him. Using illustrations he asked them, “How can Satan throw out Satan?
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς, ἐν παραβολαῖς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Πῶς δύναται Σατανᾶς Σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλειν;
24 A kingdom fighting itself can't continue.
Καὶ ἐὰν βασιλεία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δύναται σταθῆναι ἡ βασιλεία ἐκείνη.
25 A household that's divided is doomed.
Καὶ ἐὰν οἰκία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δυνήσεται ἡ οἰκία ἐκείνη σταθῆναι.
26 If Satan is divided and fights against himself, he won't last long—he'll soon come to an end.
Καὶ εἰ ὁ Σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη, οὐ δύναται στῆναι, ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει.
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.”
Ἀλλʼ οὐ δύναται οὐδεὶς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ εἰσελθὼν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ διαρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον τὸν ἰσχυρὸν δήσῃ, καὶ τότε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει.
28 “I tell you the truth: all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven,
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πάντα ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν.
30 (Jesus said this because they said, “He has an evil spirit.”)
ὅτι ἔλεγον, “Πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει.”
31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They waited outside and sent him a message, asking him to come out.
Καὶ ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔξω στήκοντες, ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καλοῦντες αὐτόν.
32 The crowd that was sitting around him told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside asking for you.”
Καὶ ἐκάθητο περὶ αὐτὸν ὄχλος, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, ἔξω ζητοῦσίν σε.”
33 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” he responded.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτοῖς λέγει, “Τίς ἐστιν ἡ μήτηρ μου, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου;”
34 Looking around at all those sitting there in a circle, he said, “Here is my mother! Here are my brothers!
Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος τοὺς περὶ αὐτὸν, κύκλῳ καθημένους λέγει, “Ἴδε, ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου!
35 Whoever does what God wants, they are my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποιήσῃ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, οὗτος ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀδελφὴ καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν.”
