< Mark 3 >
1 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.
And he went again into the Synagogue; and there was a man there whose hand was dead.
2 And They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
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.
3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Stand up in the middle."
And he said to the man, Get up and come forward.
4 And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.
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.
5 And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
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.
6 And the Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
And the Pharisees went out, and straight away made designs with the Herodians about how they might put him to death.
7 And Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, and from Judea,
And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,
8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A large crowd, when they heard what great things he did, came to him.
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.
9 And he told his disciples that a small boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him.
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;
10 For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
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.
11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and shouted, saying, "You are the Son of God."
And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.
12 And he sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
And he gave them special orders not to say who he was.
13 And he went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
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.
14 And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,
And he took twelve to be with him, so that he might send them out as preachers,
15 to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.
And give them the power of driving out evil spirits:
16 And he appointed the twelve. And to Simon he gave the name Peter;
To Simon he gave the second name of Peter;
17 and James the son of Zebedee; and John the brother of James (and he gave them the names Boanerges, which is to say, Sons of Thunder);
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:
18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;
19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
And Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.
20 And he came into a house, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.
21 And when his family heard it, they went out to take charge of him: for they said, "He is out of his mind."
And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons."
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.
23 And so he summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?
And turning to them, he said to them in the form of a story, How is it possible for Satan to put out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
If there is division in a kingdom, that kingdom will come to destruction;
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he will not be able to stand, but has an end.
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.
27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.
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.
28 Truly I tell you, all human sins will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
Truly, I say to you, The sons of men will have forgiveness for all their sins and for all the evil words they say:
29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin"— (aiōn , aiōnios )
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 )
30 because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
And his mother and brothers came and were outside, and sent for him, requesting to see him.
32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you."
And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.
33 And he answered them, saying, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"
And he said in answer, Who are my mother and my brothers?
34 And looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Look, my mother and my brothers.
And looking round at those who were seated about him, he said, See, my mother and my brothers!
35 For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."
Whoever does God's pleasure, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
