< Mark 3 >

1 And he entred againe into ye Synagogue, and there was a man which had a withered had.
And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:
2 And they watched him, whether he would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him.
3 Then he saide vnto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the middes.
And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst:
4 And he saide to them, Is it lawfull to doe a good deede on the Sabbath day, or to doe euil? to saue the life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
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 Then hee looked rounde about on them angerly, mourning also for the hardnesse of their hearts, and saide to the man, Stretch foorth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hande was restored, as whole as the other.
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 Pharises departed, and straightway gathered a councill with the Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.
And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him:
7 But Iesus auoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galile, and from Iudea,
but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea.
8 And from Ierusalem, and from Idumea, and beyonde Iordan: and they that dwelled about Tyrus and Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him in great number.
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 commanded his disciples, that a litle shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, lest they shoulde throng him.
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 hee had healed many, in so much that they preassed vpon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.
so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him to touch Him.
11 And when the vncleane spirits sawe him, they fel downe before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne 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 sharply rebuked them, to the ende they should not vtter him.
but He strictly charged them not to make Him known.
13 Then hee went vp into a mountaine, and called vnto him whome he woulde, and they came vnto him.
Then going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, and they came to Him:
14 And hee appoynted twelue that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preache,
and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel,
15 And that they might haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuils.
and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons;
16 And the first was Simon, and hee named Simon, Peter,
even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter,
17 Then Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn Iames brother (and surnamed them Boanerges, which is, the sonnes 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 Philippe, and Bartlemew, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames, the sonne of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
19 And Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him, and they came home.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him.
20 And the multitude assembled againe, so that they could not so much as eate 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 kinsfolkes heard of it, they went out to laie hold on him: for they sayde that he was beside himselfe.
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 which came downe from Hierusalem, saide, He hath Beelzebub, and through the prince of the deuils he casteth out deuils.
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 But he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, How can Satan driue out Satan?
So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 For if a kingdome bee deuided against it selfe, that kingdome can not stand.
If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand:
25 Or if a house bee deuided against it selfe, that house can not continue.
and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided,
26 So if Satan make insurrection against himselfe, and be deuided, hee can not endure but is at an ende.
he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an end.
27 No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goods, except hee first binde that strong man, and then spoyle his house.
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 Verely I say vnto you, all sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the children of men, and blasphemies, wherewith they blaspheme:
Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme:
29 But hee that blasphemeth against the holy Ghost, shall neuer haue forgiuenesse, but is culpable of eternall damnation. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whosoever blasphemeth against the holy Ghost never hath forgiveness, but is liable to eternal damnation: (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 Because they saide, Hee had an vncleane spirit.
for they said, He hath an impure spirit.
31 Then came his brethren and mother, and stoode without, and sent vnto him, and called him.
So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
32 And the people sate about him, and they said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother, and thy brethren seeke for thee without.
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 But hee answered them, saying, Who is my mother and my brethren?
And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And hee looked rounde about on them, which sate in compasse about him, and saide, Beholde my mother and my brethren.
And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren:
35 For whosoeuer doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
for whosoever doth the will of God, he is to me as my brother, my sister, and mother.
