At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.
2 sa vishrAmavAre tamarogiNaM kariShyati navetyatra bahavastam apavadituM ChidramapekShitavantaH|
They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.
3 tadA sa taM shuShkahastaM manuShyaM jagAda madhyasthAne tvamuttiShTha|
"Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.
4 tataH paraM sa tAn paprachCha vishrAmavAre hitamahitaM tathA hi prANarakShA vA prANanAsha eShAM madhye kiM karaNIyaM? kintu te niHshabdAstasthuH|
Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.
5 tadA sa teShAmantaHkaraNAnAM kAThinyAddheto rduHkhitaH krodhAt chartudasho dR^iShTavAn taM mAnuShaM gaditavAn taM hastaM vistAraya, tatastena haste vistR^ite taddhasto. anyahastavad arogo jAtaH|
Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
6 atha phirUshinaH prasthAya taM nAshayituM herodIyaiH saha mantrayitumArebhire|
But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.
7 ataeva yIshustatsthAnaM parityajya shiShyaiH saha punaH sAgarasamIpaM gataH;
Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;
8 tato gAlIlyihUdA-yirUshAlam-idom-yardannadIpArasthAnebhyo lokasamUhastasya pashchAd gataH; tadanyaH sorasIdanoH samIpavAsilokasamUhashcha tasya mahAkarmmaNAM vArttaM shrutvA tasya sannidhimAgataH|
and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.
9 tadA lokasamUhashchet tasyopari patati ityAsha Nkya sa nAvamekAM nikaTe sthApayituM shiShyAnAdiShTavAn|
So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng--to prevent their crushing Him.
10 yato. anekamanuShyANAmArogyakaraNAd vyAdhigrastAH sarvve taM spraShTuM parasparaM balena yatnavantaH|
For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.
11 apara ncha apavitrabhUtAstaM dR^iShTvA tachcharaNayoH patitvA prochaiH prochuH, tvamIshvarasya putraH|
And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out: "You are the Son of God."
12 kintu sa tAn dR^iDham Aj nApya svaM parichAyituM niShiddhavAn|
But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.

Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him.
14 tadA sa dvAdashajanAn svena saha sthAtuM susaMvAdaprachArAya preritA bhavituM
He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,
15 sarvvaprakAravyAdhInAM shamanakaraNAya prabhAvaM prAptuM bhUtAn tyAjayitu ncha niyuktavAn|
with authority to expel the demons.
16 teShAM nAmAnImAni, shimon sivadiputro
These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter),
17 yAkUb tasya bhrAtA yohan cha AndriyaH philipo barthalamayaH,
James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is 'Sons of Thunder'),

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

and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him.

And He went into a house. But again the crowd assembled, so that there was no opportunity for them even to snatch a meal.
21 tatastasya suhR^illokA imAM vArttAM prApya sa hataj nAnobhUd iti kathAM kathayitvA taM dhR^itvAnetuM gatAH|
Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
22 apara ncha yirUshAlama AgatA ye ye. adhyApakAste jagadurayaM puruSho bhUtapatyAbiShTastena bhUtapatinA bhUtAn tyAjayati|
The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons."
23 tatastAnAhUya yIshu rdR^iShTAntaiH kathAM kathitavAn shaitAn kathaM shaitAnaM tyAjayituM shaknoti?
So He called them to Him, and using figurative language He appealed to them, saying, "How is it possible for Satan to expel Satan?
24 ki nchana rAjyaM yadi svavirodhena pR^ithag bhavati tarhi tad rAjyaM sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti|
For if civil war breaks out in a kingdom, nothing can make that kingdom last;
25 tathA kasyApi parivAro yadi parasparaM virodhI bhavati tarhi sopi parivAraH sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti|
and if a family splits into parties, that family cannot continue.
26 tadvat shaitAn yadi svavipakShatayA uttiShThan bhinno bhavati tarhi sopi sthiraM sthAtuM na shaknoti kintUchChinno bhavati|
So if Satan has risen in arms and has made war upon himself, stand he cannot, but meets his end.
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|
Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;
30 tasyApavitrabhUto. asti teShAmetatkathAhetoH sa itthaM kathitavAn|
This was because they said, "He is possessed by a foul spirit."
31 atha tasya mAtA bhrAtR^igaNashchAgatya bahistiShThanato lokAn preShya tamAhUtavantaH|
By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.
32 tatastatsannidhau samupaviShTA lokAstaM babhAShire pashya bahistava mAtA bhrAtarashcha tvAm anvichChanti|
Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you."
33 tadA sa tAn pratyuvAcha mama mAtA kA bhrAtaro vA ke? tataH paraM sa svamIpopaviShTAn shiShyAn prati avalokanaM kR^itvA kathayAmAsa
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" He replied.
34 pashyataite mama mAtA bhrAtarashcha|
And, fixing His eyes on the people who were sitting round Him in a circle, He said,
35 yaH kashchid IshvarasyeShTAM kriyAM karoti sa eva mama bhrAtA bhaginI mAtA cha|
"Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother."
