Mark 3
1 And He entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered.
2 and they were watching Him, whether on the Sabbaths He will heal him, that they might accuse Him.
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.
3 And He says to the man having the hand withered, “Rise up in the midst.”
"Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward."
4 And He says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?” But they were silent.
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?"
5 And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch forth your hand”; and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
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.
6 and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against Him how they might destroy Him.
As soon as they came out, the Pharisees plotted against him with the Herodians, in order to destroy him.

8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon—a great multitude—having heard how He was doing great things, came to Him.
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.
9 And He said to His disciples that a little boat may wait on Him, because of the multitude, that they may not press on Him,
So he directed his disciples to keep a little boat in readiness for him, because of the crowd, to prevent their crushing him.
10 for He healed many, so that they threw themselves on Him, in order to touch Him—as many as had plagues;
For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him.
11 and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing Him, were falling down before Him, and were crying, saying, “You are the Son of God”;
And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they threw themselves down at his feet, screaming out, "You are the Son of God."
12 and many times He was charging them that they might not make Him apparent.
But over and over, he strictly forbade them to make him known.
13 And He goes up to the mountain, and calls near whom He willed, and they went away to Him;
Then he went up the hillside and called to him those whom he chose, and they came to him.
14 and He appointed twelve, that they may be with Him, and that He may send them forth to preach,

16 And He put on Simon the name Peter;

and James(them he surnamed Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),
18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and Jamesthe son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,
19 and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered Him up; and they come into a house.
and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
20 And a multitude comes together again, so that they are not even able to eat bread;
Then he went into a house, but again such a multitude assembled that they could not get their food.
21 and those alongside Him having heard, went forth to lay hold on Him, for they said that He was beside Himself,
When his relatives heard of it, they came to take possession of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
22 and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”
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."
23 And having called them near, He said to them in allegories, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan?
So when he had called them to him he spoke to them in parables. "How," said he, "can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand;
25 and if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot be made to stand;
if a household be divided against itself, that household cannot stand;
26 and if Satan rose against himself, and has been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but has an end.
and if Satan has revolted against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand. Nay, he meets his end!
27 No one is able to spoil the vessels of the strong man, having entered into his house, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then he will spoil his house.
"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.
28 Truly I say to you that all sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and slanders with which they might have slandered,
In solemn truth I tell you that the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins and all the blasphemies they may utter,
30 because they said, He has an unclean spirit.”

31 Then His brothers and mother come, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him,
Then his mother and his brothers came up, and standing outside, they sent a messenger to him to call him.
32 and a multitude was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers seek You outside.”
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."
33 And He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" he replied.
34 And having looked around in a circle to those sitting around Him, He says, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!
Then, with a glance at those who were in the circle sitting around him, he added.
35 For whoever may do the will of God, he is My brother, and My sister, and mother.”
"Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and sister and mother."
