Mark 3

¹And he entride eftsoone in to the synagoge, and there was a man hauynge a drye hoond.

²And thei aspieden hym, if he helide in the sabatis, to accuse him.

³And he seide to the man that hadde a drie hoond, Rise in to the myddil.

⁴And he seith to hem, Is it leeueful to do wel in the sabatis, ether yuel? to make a soul saaf, ether to leese? And thei weren stille.

⁵And he biheeld hem aboute with wraththe, and hadde sorewe on the blyndnesse of her herte, and seith to the man, Hold forth thin hoond. And he helde forth, and his hoond was restorid to hym.

⁶Sotheli Farisees yeden out anoon, and maden a counsel with Erodians ayens hym, hou thei schulden lese hym.

⁷But Jhesus with hise disciplis wente to the see; and myche puple fro Galilee and Judee suede hym,

⁸and fro Jerusalem, and fro Ydume, and fro biyondis Jordan, and thei that weren aboute Tire and Sidon, a greet multitude, heringe the thingis that he dide, and cam to hym.

⁹And Jhesus seide to hise disciplis, that the boot schulde serue hym, for the puple, lest thei thristen hym;

¹⁰for he heelide many, so that thei felden fast to hym, to touche hym. And hou many euer hadde syknessis, and vnclene spirits,

¹¹whanne thei seyen hym, felden doun to hym, and crieden, seiynge, Thou art the sone of God.

¹²And greetli he manasside hem, that thei schulden not make hym knowun.

¹³And he wente in to an hille, and clepide to hym whom he wolde; and thei camen to hym.

¹⁴And he made, that there weren twelue with hym, to sende hem to preche.

¹⁵And he yaf to hem pouwer to heele sijknessis, and to caste out feendis.

¹⁶And to Symount he yaf a name Petre, and he clepide James of Zebede and Joon,

¹⁷the brother of James, and he yaf to hem names Boenarges, that is, sones of thundryng.

¹⁸And he clepide Andrew and Filip, and Bartholomew and Matheu, and Thomas and James Alfey, and Thadee,

¹⁹and Symount Cananee, and Judas Scarioth, that bitraiede hym.

²⁰And thei camen to an hous, and the puple cam togidere eftsoone, so that thei miyten not ete breed.

²¹And whanne his kynnysmen hadden herd, thei wenten out `to holde him; for thei seiden, that he is turned in to woodnesse.

²²And the scribis that camen doun fro Jerusalem, seiden, That he hath Belsabub, and that in the prince of deuelis he castith out fendis.

²³And he clepide hem togidir, and he seide to hem in parablis, Hou may Sathanas caste out Sathanas?

²⁴And if a rewme be departid ayens it silf, thilke rewme may not stonde.

²⁵And if an hous be disparpoilid on it silf, thilke hous may not stonde.

²⁶And if Sathanas hath risun ayens hym silf, he is departid, and he schal not mowe stonde, but hath an ende.

²⁷No man may go in to a stronge mannus hous, and take awey hise vessels, but he bynde first the stronge man, and thanne he schal spoile his hous.

²⁸Treuli Y seie to you, that alle synnes and blasfemyes, bi whiche thei han blasfemed, schulen be foryouun to the sones of men.

²⁹But he that blasfemeth ayens the Hooli Goost, hath not remissioun in to with outen ende, but he schal be gilty of euerlastynge trespas.

³⁰For thei seiden, He hath an vnclene spirit.

³¹And his modir and britheren camen, and thei stoden withoutforth, and senten to hym, and clepiden hym.

³²And the puple sat aboute hym; and thei seien to hym, Lo! thi modir and thi britheren with outforth seken thee.

³³And he answeride to hem, and seide, Who is my modir and my britheren?

³⁴And he bihelde thilke that saten aboute hym, and seide, Lo! my modir and my britheren.

³⁵For who that doith the wille of God, he is my brothir, and my sistir, and modir.

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.
