Mark 3
1 And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:
And again, he entered into the synagogue. And there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2 and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him.
And they observed him, to see if he would cure on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him.
3 And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst:
And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up in the middle.”
4 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.
And he said to them: “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbaths, or to do evil, to give health to a life, or to destroy?” But they remained silent.
5 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.
And looking around at them with anger, being very saddened over the blindness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and his hand was restored to him.
6 And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him:
Then the Pharisees, going out, immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, as to how they might destroy him.
7 but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea.
But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8 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.
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and across the Jordan. And those around Tyre and Sidon, upon hearing what he was doing, came to him in a great multitude.
9 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,
And he told his disciples that a small boat would be useful to him, because of the crowd, lest they press upon him.
10 so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him to touch Him.
For he healed so many, that as many of them as had wounds would rush toward him in order to touch him.
11 And impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God:
And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell prostrate before him. And they cried out, saying,
12 but He strictly charged them not to make Him known.
“You are the Son of God.” And he strongly admonished them, lest they make him known.
13 Then going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, and they came to Him:
And ascending onto a mountain, he called to himself those whom he willed, and they came to him.
14 and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel,
And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
15 and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons;
And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
16 even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter,
and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
17 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,
and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name ‘Boanerges,’ that is, ‘Sons of Thunder;’
18 and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him.
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20 And they went into a house, and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat.
And they went to a house, and the crowd gathered together again, so much so that they were not even able to eat bread.
21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said He spends Himself too much.
And when his own had heard of it, they went out to take hold of him. For they said: “Because he has gone mad.”
22 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.
And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, “Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
23 So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
And having called them together, he spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand:
For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
25 and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided,
And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.
26 he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an end.
And if Satan has risen up against himself, he would be divided, and he would not be able to stand; instead he reaches the end.
27 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.
No one is able to plunder the goods of a strong man, having entered into the house, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28 Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme:
Amen I say to you, that all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies by which they will have blasphemed.
30 for they said, He hath an impure spirit.
For they said: “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
And his mother and brothers arrived. And standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee.
And the crowd was sitting around him. And they said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.”
33 And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
And responding to them, he said, “Who is my mother and my brothers?”
34 And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren:
And looking around at those who were sitting all around him, he said: “Behold, my mother and my brothers.
35 for whosoever doth the will of God, he is to me as my brother, my sister, and mother.
For whoever has done the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister and mother.”
