On another occasion Jesus went in to a synagogue, where there was a man whose hand was withered.
2 sa vishrAmavAre tamarogiNaM kariShyati navetyatra bahavastam apavadituM ChidramapekShitavantaH|
And they watched Jesus closely, to see if he would cure the man on the Sabbath, so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
3 tadA sa taM shuShkahastaM manuShyaM jagAda madhyasthAne tvamuttiShTha|
‘Stand out in the middle,’ Jesus said to the man with the withered hand;
4 tataH paraM sa tAn paprachCha vishrAmavAre hitamahitaM tathA hi prANarakShA vA prANanAsha eShAM madhye kiM karaNIyaM? kintu te niHshabdAstasthuH|
and to the people he said, ‘Is it allowable to do good at the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or destroy it?’
5 tadA sa teShAmantaHkaraNAnAM kAThinyAddheto rduHkhitaH krodhAt chartudasho dR^iShTavAn taM mAnuShaM gaditavAn taM hastaM vistAraya, tatastena haste vistR^ite taddhasto. anyahastavad arogo jAtaH|
As they remained silent, Jesus looked round at them in anger, grieving at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man stretched it out; and his hand had become sound.
6 atha phirUshinaH prasthAya taM nAshayituM herodIyaiH saha mantrayitumArebhire|
Immediately on leaving the synagogue, the Pharisees and the Herodians united in laying a plot against Jesus, to put him to death.
7 ataeva yIshustatsthAnaM parityajya shiShyaiH saha punaH sAgarasamIpaM gataH;
Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, followed by a great number of people from Galilee.
8 tato gAlIlyihUdA-yirUshAlam-idom-yardannadIpArasthAnebhyo lokasamUhastasya pashchAd gataH; tadanyaH sorasIdanoH samIpavAsilokasamUhashcha tasya mahAkarmmaNAM vArttaM shrutvA tasya sannidhimAgataH|
A great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country round Tyre and Sidon.
9 tadA lokasamUhashchet tasyopari patati ityAsha Nkya sa nAvamekAM nikaTe sthApayituM shiShyAnAdiShTavAn|
So Jesus told his disciples to keep a small boat close by, so that the crowd would not crush him.
10 yato. anekamanuShyANAmArogyakaraNAd vyAdhigrastAH sarvve taM spraShTuM parasparaM balena yatnavantaH|
For he had cured many of them, and so people kept crowding around him, so all who were sick might touch him.
11 apara ncha apavitrabhUtAstaM dR^iShTvA tachcharaNayoH patitvA prochaiH prochuH, tvamIshvarasya putraH|
The foul spirits, too, whenever they caught sight of him, flung themselves down before him, and screamed out, ‘You are the Son of God’!
12 kintu sa tAn dR^iDham Aj nApya svaM parichAyituM niShiddhavAn|
But he repeatedly warned them not to make him known.

Jesus made his way up the hill, and called those whom he wished; and they went to him.
14 tadA sa dvAdashajanAn svena saha sthAtuM susaMvAdaprachArAya preritA bhavituM
He appointed twelve – whom he also named “apostles” – so that they might be with him, and that he might send them out as his messengers, to preach,
15 sarvvaprakAravyAdhInAM shamanakaraNAya prabhAvaM prAptuM bhUtAn tyAjayitu ncha niyuktavAn|
and with power to drive out demons.
16 teShAM nAmAnImAni, shimon sivadiputro
So he appointed the Twelve – Peter (which was the name that Jesus gave to Simon),
17 yAkUb tasya bhrAtA yohan cha AndriyaH philipo barthalamayaH,
James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John (to whom he gave the name of Boanerges, which means the Thunderers),

Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

and Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed him.

Jesus went into a house; and again a crowd collected, so that they were not even able to eat their food.
21 tatastasya suhR^illokA imAM vArttAM prApya sa hataj nAnobhUd iti kathAM kathayitvA taM dhR^itvAnetuM gatAH|
When his relatives heard of it, they went to take charge of him, for they said that he was out of his mind.
22 apara ncha yirUshAlama AgatA ye ye. adhyApakAste jagadurayaM puruSho bhUtapatyAbiShTastena bhUtapatinA bhUtAn tyAjayati|
The teachers of the Law, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, ‘He has Beelzebul in him! He drives the demons out by the help of their chief.’
23 tatastAnAhUya yIshu rdR^iShTAntaiH kathAM kathitavAn shaitAn kathaM shaitAnaM tyAjayituM shaknoti?
So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables, ‘How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 ki nchana rAjyaM yadi svavirodhena pR^ithag bhavati tarhi tad rAjyaM sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti|
When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;
25 tathA kasyApi parivAro yadi parasparaM virodhI bhavati tarhi sopi parivAraH sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti|
and when a household is divided against itself, it will not be able to last.
26 tadvat shaitAn yadi svavipakShatayA uttiShThan bhinno bhavati tarhi sopi sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti kintUchChinno bhavati|
So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last – his end has come!
27 apara ncha prabalaM janaM prathamaM na baddhA kopi tasya gR^ihaM pravishya dravyANi luNThayituM na shaknoti, taM badvvaiva tasya gR^ihasya dravyANi luNThayituM shaknoti|
‘No man who has broken into a strong man’s house can carry off his goods, without first tying him up; and not until then will he plunder his house.

I tell you that people will be forgiven everything – their sins, and all the slanders that they utter;
30 tasyApavitrabhUto. asti teShAmetatkathAhetoH sa itthaM kathitavAn|
This was said in reply to the charge that he had a foul spirit in him.
31 atha tasya mAtA bhrAtR^igaNashchAgatya bahistiShThanato lokAn preShya tamAhUtavantaH|
His mother and his brothers came, and stood outside, and sent to ask him to come to them.
32 tatastatsannidhau samupaviShTA lokAstaM babhAShire pashya bahistava mAtA bhrAtarashcha tvAm anvichChanti|
There was a crowd sitting round Jesus, and some of them said to him, ‘Look, your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.’
33 tadA sa tAn pratyuvAcha mama mAtA kA bhrAtaro vA ke? tataH paraM sa svamIpopaviShTAn shiShyAn prati avalokanaM kR^itvA kathayAmAsa
‘Who is my mother? And my brothers?’ was his reply.
34 pashyataite mama mAtA bhrAtarashcha|
Then he looked around on the people sitting in a circle round him, and said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 yaH kashchid IshvarasyeShTAM kriyAM karoti sa eva mama bhrAtA bhaginI mAtA cha|
Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’
