Mark 3

¹And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

²And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

³And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth.

⁴And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

⁵And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.

⁶And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

⁷And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judæa,

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him.

⁹And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:

¹⁰for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.

¹¹And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

¹²And he charged them much that they should not make him known.

¹³And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him.

¹⁴And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

¹⁵and to have authority to cast out demons:

¹⁶and Simon he surnamed Peter;

¹⁷and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

¹⁸and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Cananæan,

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And he cometh into a house.

²⁰And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

²¹And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

²²And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons.

²³And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

²⁴And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

²⁵And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

²⁶And if Satan hath risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

²⁷But no one can enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

²⁸Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

²⁹but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin:

³⁰because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

³¹And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him.

³²And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

³³And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren?

³⁴And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

³⁵For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Mark 3

¹And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

²And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

³And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up [and come] into the midst.

⁴And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

⁵And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

⁶And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

⁷And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

⁹And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

¹⁰For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

¹¹And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, Thou art the Son ofGod.

¹²And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

¹³And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

¹⁴And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,

¹⁵and to have power [to heal diseases, and] to cast out demons.

¹⁶And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;

¹⁷and James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

¹⁸and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

¹⁹and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to [the] house.

²⁰And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

²¹And his relatives having heard [of it] went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

²²And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

²³And having called them to [him], he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

²⁴And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.

²⁵And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.

²⁶And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.

²⁷But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong [man] unless he first bind the strong [man], and then he will plunder his house.

²⁸Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches [with] which they may speak injuriously;

²⁹but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;

³⁰— because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

³¹And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.

³²And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

³³And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

³⁴And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

³⁵for whosoever shall do the will ofGod, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
