< Mark 3 >
1 And he went again into the Synagogue; and there was a man there whose hand was dead.
And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:
2 And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.
and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him.
3 And he said to the man, Get up and come forward.
And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst:
4 And he said to them, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to put to death? But they said nothing.
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.
5 And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.
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.
6 And the Pharisees went out, and straight away made designs with the Herodians about how they might put him to death.
And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him:
7 And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,
but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea.
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
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.
9 And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people;
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,
10 For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.
so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him to touch Him.
11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.
And impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God:
12 And he gave them special orders not to say who he was.
but He strictly charged them not to make Him known.
13 And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.
Then going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, and they came to Him:
14 And he took twelve to be with him, so that he might send them out as preachers,
and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel,
15 And give them the power of driving out evil spirits:
and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons;
16 To Simon he gave the second name of Peter;
even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter,
17 And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:
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,
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;
and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
19 And Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him.
20 And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.
And they went into a house, and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat.
21 And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said He spends Himself too much.
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of evil spirits he sends evil spirits out of men.
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.
23 And turning to them, he said to them in the form of a story, How is it possible for Satan to put out Satan?
So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 If there is division in a kingdom, that kingdom will come to destruction;
If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand:
25 And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;
and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided,
26 And if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.
he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an end.
27 But no one is able to go into the house of the strong man and take his goods, without first putting cords round the strong man, and then he will take his goods.
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.
28 Truly, I say to you, The sons of men will have forgiveness for all their sins and for all the evil words they say:
Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme:
29 But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but the evil he has done will be with him for ever: (aiōn , aiōnios )
but whosoever blasphemeth against the holy Ghost never hath forgiveness, but is liable to eternal damnation: (aiōn , aiōnios )
30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
for they said, He hath an impure spirit.
31 And his mother and brothers came and were outside, and sent for him, requesting to see him.
So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
32 And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.
and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee.
33 And he said in answer, Who are my mother and my brothers?
And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And looking round at those who were seated about him, he said, See, my mother and my brothers!
And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren:
35 Whoever does God's pleasure, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
for whosoever doth the will of God, he is to me as my brother, my sister, and mother.
