Mark 3
1 Ref And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
2 Ref and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.
3 Ref And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.'
4 Ref And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.
5 Ref And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
6 Ref and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7 Ref And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
8 Ref and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
9 Ref And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
10 Ref for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues;
11 Ref and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- `Thou art the Son of God;'
12 Ref and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13 Ref And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
14 Ref and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
15 and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
16 Ref And he put on Simon the name Peter;
17 Ref and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;'
18 Ref and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
19 Ref and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20 Ref And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
21 Ref and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22 Ref and the scribes who `are' from Jerusalem having come down, said -- `He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
23 Ref And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
24 Ref and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
25 Ref and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
26 and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
27 Ref `No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
28 Ref `Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
29 Ref but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'
30 Ref because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.'
31 Ref Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
32 and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'
33 Ref And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?'
34 Ref And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!
35 Ref for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
