< Mark 3 >

1 And He entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:
2 and they were watching Him, whether on the Sabbaths He will heal him, that they might accuse Him.
and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him.
3 And He says to the man having the hand withered, “Rise up in the midst.”
And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst:
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 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 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;
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 having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against Him how they might destroy Him.
And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him:
7 And Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea,
but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea.
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.
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 said to His disciples that a little boat may wait on Him, because of the multitude, that they may not press on 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 He healed many, so that they threw themselves on Him, in order to touch Him—as many as had plagues;
so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him 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 impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God:
12 and many times He was charging them that they might not make Him apparent.
but He strictly charged them not 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 going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, 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,
and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel,
15 and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons;
16 And He put on Simon the name Peter;
even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter,
17 and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and He put on them names—Boanerges, that 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 of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, 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 also delivered Him up; and they come into a house.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him.
20 And a multitude comes together again, so that they are not even able to eat bread;
And they went into a house, and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat.
21 and those alongside Him having heard, went forth to lay hold on Him, for they said that He was beside Himself,
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 [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”
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 having called them near, He said to them in allegories, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan?
So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How 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;
and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided,
26 and if Satan rose against himself, and has been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but has an end.
he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an 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.
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 that all sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and slanders with which they might have slandered,
Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme:
29 but whoever may slander in regard to the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness—throughout the age, but is in danger of continuous judgment; (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 said, He has an unclean spirit.”
for they said, He hath an impure spirit.
31 Then His brothers and mother come, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him,
So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
32 and a multitude was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers seek You outside.”
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 answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”
And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And having looked around in a circle to those sitting around Him, He says, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!
And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren:
35 For whoever may do 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.
