Mark 3

KJC^{(i) 1} And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. ² And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. ³ And he says unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. ⁴ And he says 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. ⁵ And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he says unto the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. ⁶ And the Pharisees went forth, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. ⁷ But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, ⁸ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. ⁹ And he spoke to his disciples, that a small boat should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. ¹⁰ For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. ¹¹ And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God. ¹² And he strictly instructed them that they should not make him known. ¹³ And he goes up into a mountain, and calls unto him those whom he desired: and they came unto him. ¹⁴ And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, ¹⁵ And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: ¹⁶ And Simon he surnamed Peter; ¹⁷ And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: ¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, ¹⁹ And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into a house. ²⁰ And the multitude comes together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. ²¹ And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. ²² And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casts out devils. ²³ And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵ And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ²⁶ And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. ²⁷ No man can enter into a strong man's house, and plunder his goods, unless he will first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. ²⁸ Truthfully I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies with whichever they shall blaspheme: ²⁹ But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. ³⁰ Because they said, He has an unclean spirit. ³¹ There came then his brothers and his mother, and, standing outside, sent unto him, calling him. ³² And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside seek for you. ³³ And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brothers? ³⁴ And he looked round about on those who sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers! ³⁵ For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
