< Mark 3 >

1 Once again Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα.
2 Now the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath, so that they could accuse him.
Καὶ παρετήρουν αὐτὸν, εἰ τοῖς Σάββασιν θεραπεύσει αὐτόν, ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Rise and come forward.”
Καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ τὴν χεῖρα ἔχοντι ξηράν, “Ἔγειρε εἰς τὸ μέσον.”
4 Then Jesus said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Ἔξεστιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀποκτεῖναι;” Οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων.
5 After looking around at them with anger, grieved by the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out yoʋr hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored, as sound as the other.
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 Then the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Jesus as to how they might destroy him.
Καὶ ἐξελθόντες, οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εὐθὺς μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν συμβούλιον ἐποίησαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
7 But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and also from Judea,
Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ἀνεχώρησεν πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν· καὶ πολὺ πλῆθος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἠκολούθησεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας,
8 from Jerusalem, from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. A great multitude of people from around Tyre and Sidon also came to him when they heard about everything 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 Then he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, so that the crowd would not crush him.
Καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν.
10 For he had healed many, so that all who had afflictions were pressing toward him to touch him.
Πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐθεράπευσεν, ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ, ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται ὅσοι εἶχον μάστιγας.
11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down before him and cry out, “Yoʋ 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 would strictly warn them not to make him known.
Καὶ πολλὰ ἐπετίμα αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ αὐτὸν φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν.
13 Afterward Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those whom he wanted, and they came to him.
Καὶ ἀναβαίνει εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ προσκαλεῖται οὓς ἤθελεν αὐτός, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
14 He appointed twelve so that they might be with him and so 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 heal diseases and cast out demons.
καὶ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 He appointed Simon (whom he gave the name Peter);
Καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς δώδεκα: καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα τῷ Σίμωνι, Πέτρον,
17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means, 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 Cananite,
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. Then they entered a house,
καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριώθ, ὃς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν.
20 and a crowd came together again, so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat bread.
Καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς οἶκον, καὶ συνέρχεται πάλιν ὁ ὄχλος, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς μηδὲ ἄρτον φαγεῖν.
21 When his family heard about it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες, οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθον κρατῆσαι αὐτόν, ἔλεγον γὰρ, ὅτι “Ἐξέστη.”
22 But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of demons he casts out demons.”
Καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει”, καὶ, ὅτι “Ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.”
23 So Jesus called them over and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς, ἐν παραβολαῖς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Πῶς δύναται Σατανᾶς Σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλειν;
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Καὶ ἐὰν βασιλεία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δύναται σταθῆναι ἡ βασιλεία ἐκείνη.
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Καὶ ἐὰν οἰκία ἐφʼ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δυνήσεται ἡ οἰκία ἐκείνη σταθῆναι.
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but has come to an end.
Καὶ εἰ ὁ Σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐμερίσθη, οὐ δύναται στῆναι, ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει.
27 No one can enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods unless he first binds 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 “Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter.
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πάντα ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ αἱ βλασφημίαι, ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν.
29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal judgment.” (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 He said this because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
ὅτι ἔλεγον, “Πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει.”
31 Then Jesus' brothers and mother came, and standing outside, they sent word to him and called for him.
Καὶ ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔξω στήκοντες, ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καλοῦντες αὐτόν.
32 There was a crowd sitting around Jesus, and they said to him, “Behold, yoʋr mother, yoʋr brothers, and yoʋr sisters are outside looking for yoʋ.”
Καὶ ἐκάθητο περὶ αὐτὸν ὄχλος, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, ἔξω ζητοῦσίν σε.”
33 But he answered them, “Who is my mother, or my brothers?”
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτοῖς λέγει, “Τίς ἐστιν ἡ μήτηρ μου, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου;”
34 And looking around in a circle at the people sitting there, he said, “Behold, these are my mother and my brothers!
Καὶ περιβλεψάμενος τοὺς περὶ αὐτὸν, κύκλῳ καθημένους λέγει, “Ἴδε, ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου!
35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and mother.”
Ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποιήσῃ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, οὗτος ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀδελφὴ καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν.”
