Mark 3

¹And he entered again into a synagogue; and there was a man there having a withered hand;

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

³And he saith to the man having the withered hand, Stand up in the midst.

⁴And he saith 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.

⁵And looking round on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.

⁶And the Pharisees went forth, and immediately had a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

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

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond the Jordan, and the people about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what great things he was doing, came to him.

⁹And he gave direction to his disciples, that a boat should be in readiness for him because of the multitude, that they might not throng him.

¹⁰For he had healed many, so that as many as had plagues pressed upon him to touch him.

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

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

¹³And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth to him whom he would; and they came to him.

¹⁴And he appointed twelve to be with him, and whom he might send forth to preach,

¹⁵and to have authority to cast out demons. And he appointed the twelve,

¹⁶and Simon he surnamed Peter;

¹⁷and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them 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 of Cana,

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

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

²¹And his relations hearing of it went out to lay hold of him; for they said, He is beside himself.

²²And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebul; and, He casteth out the demons through the prince of the demons.

²³And calling them to him, he said to 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 rise up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.

²⁷Moreover, no one can enter into a strong man’s house, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

²⁸Truly do I say to you, All sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme;

²⁹but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath no forgiveness forever, but is exposed to everlasting sin.—

³⁰Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

³¹And his mother and his brothers came; and, standing without, sent to him, to call him.

³²And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brothers and thy sisters are without, seeking for thee.

³³And he answering saith to them, Who is my mother, and my brothers?

³⁴And looking round on those who sat about him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brothers.

³⁵Whoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Mark 3

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

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

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

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

⁵And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

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

⁷But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

⁸And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

⁹And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

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

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

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

¹³And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

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

¹⁵And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

¹⁶And Simon he surnamed Peter;

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

¹⁸And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

¹⁹And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

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

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

²²And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

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 cannot stand.

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

²⁷No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

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

²⁹But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

³⁰Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

³¹There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

³²And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

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

³⁴And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

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