< Mark 3 >

1 Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα.
2 And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.
Καὶ παρετήρουν αὐτὸν, εἰ τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύσει αὐτόν, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
3 "Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward."
Καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ τὴν χεῖρα ἔχοντι ξηράν, “Ἔγειρε εἰς τὸ μέσον.”
4 Then he asked them. "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?"
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Ἔξεστιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀποκτεῖναι;” Οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων.
5 They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.
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 As soon as they came out, the Pharisees plotted against him with the Herodians, in order to destroy him.
Καὶ ἐξελθόντες, οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εὐθὺς μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν συμβούλιον ἐποίησαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
7 Then Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great crowd of people from Galilee followed.
Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ἀνεχώρησεν πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν· καὶ πολὺ πλῆθος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἠκολούθησεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας,
8 From Judea, too, and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond Jordan, and from the district of Tyre and Sidon, they came to him a vast multitude, because they heard what 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 So he directed his disciples to keep a little boat in readiness for him, because of the crowd, to prevent their crushing him.
Καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν.
10 For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him.
Πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐθεράπευσεν, ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ, ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται ὅσοι εἶχον μάστιγας.
11 And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they threw themselves down at his feet, screaming 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 over and over, he strictly forbade them to make him known.
Καὶ πολλὰ ἐπετίμα αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ αὐτὸν φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν.
13 Then he went up the hillside and called to him those whom he chose, and they came to him.
Καὶ ἀναβαίνει εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ προσκαλεῖται οὓς ἤθελεν αὐτός, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
14 Twelve of them whom he also called "Apostles," he appointed to be with him, and also that he might send them out to preach,
Καὶ ἐποίησεν δώδεκα, οὓς καὶ ἀποστόλους ὠνόμασεν, ἵνα ὦσιν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν
15 and to have authority to cast out demons.
καὶ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 There was Simon, whom he surnamed Peter,
Καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς δώδεκα: καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα τῷ Σίμωνι, Πέτρον,
17 and James(them he surnamed Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),
καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανηργές, ὅ ἐστιν “Υἱοὶ βροντῆς”,
18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and Jamesthe son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,
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 Then he went into a house, but again such a multitude assembled that they could not get their food.
Καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς οἶκον, καὶ συνέρχεται πάλιν ὁ ὄχλος, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς μηδὲ ἄρτον φαγεῖν.
21 When his relatives heard of it, they came to take possession of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες, οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθον κρατῆσαι αὐτόν, ἔλεγον γὰρ, ὅτι “Ἐξέστη.”
22 The Scribes also who had come down from Jerusalem, said, "He is Beelzebub," and, "He casts out demons by the power of the Prince of the demons."
Καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει”, καὶ, ὅτι “Ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.”
23 So when he had called them to him he spoke to them in parables. "How," said he, "can Satan cast out Satan?
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς, ἐν παραβολαῖς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Πῶς δύναται Σατανᾶς Σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλειν;
24 If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand;
Καὶ ἐὰν βασιλεία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δύναται σταθῆναι ἡ βασιλεία ἐκείνη.
25 if a household be divided against itself, that household cannot stand;
Καὶ ἐὰν οἰκία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δυνήσεται ἡ οἰκία ἐκείνη σταθῆναι.
26 and if Satan has revolted against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand. Nay, he meets his end!
Καὶ εἰ ὁ Σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη, οὐ δύναται στῆναι, ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει.
27 "Indeed, no one can enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property without first binding the strong man; then he can plunder his house.
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 In solemn truth I tell you that the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins and all the blasphemies they may utter,
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πάντα ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν.
29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit is never forgiven. Nay, he is in the grasp of an eternal sin." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Ὃς δʼ ἂν βλασφημήσῃ εἰς τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, οὐκ ἔχει ἄφεσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ ἔνοχός ἐστιν αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος”– (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 Because they kept saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
ὅτι ἔλεγον, “Πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει.”
31 Then his mother and his brothers came up, and standing outside, they sent a messenger to him to call him.
Καὶ ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔξω στήκοντες, ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καλοῦντες αὐτόν.
32 Now a crowd was sitting round him and they told him, "See! your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, wanting to see you."
Καὶ ἐκάθητο περὶ αὐτὸν ὄχλος, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, ἔξω ζητοῦσίν σε.”
33 "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he replied.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτοῖς λέγει, “Τίς ἐστιν ἡ μήτηρ μου, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου;”
34 Then, with a glance at those who were in the circle sitting around him, he added.
Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος τοὺς περὶ αὐτὸν, κύκλῳ καθημένους λέγει, “Ἴδε, ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου!
35 "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and sister and mother."
Ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποιήσῃ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, οὗτος ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀδελφὴ καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν.”
