Mark - Chapter 3

	Mar 3:1	And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
	Mar 3:2	So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.
	Mar 3:3	And He said to the man who had the withered hand, "Step forward."
	Mar 3:4	Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent.
	Mar 3:5	And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. [fn]
	Mar 3:6	Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
	Mar 3:7	But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea
	Mar 3:8	and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.
	Mar 3:9	So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.
	Mar 3:10	For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.
	Mar 3:11	And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."
	Mar 3:12	But He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.
	Mar 3:13	And He went up on the mountain and called to [Him] those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.
	Mar 3:14	Then He appointed twelve, [fn] that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,
	Mar 3:15	and to have power to heal sicknesses and [fn] to cast out demons:
	Mar 3:16	Simon, [fn] to whom He gave the name Peter;
	Mar 3:17	James the [son] of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";
	Mar 3:18	Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite;
	Mar 3:19	and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.
	Mar 3:20	Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
	Mar 3:21	But when His own people heard [about this], they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."
	Mar 3:22	And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebub," and, "By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons."
	Mar 3:23	So He called them to [Himself] and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?
	Mar 3:24	"If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
	Mar 3:25	"And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
	Mar 3:26	"And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
	Mar 3:27	"No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.
	Mar 3:28	"Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;
	Mar 3:29	"but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--
	Mar 3:30	because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
	Mar 3:31	Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.
	Mar 3:32	And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers [fn] are outside seeking You."
	Mar 3:33	But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
	Mar 3:34	And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
	Mar 3:35	"For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."
