1Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
1And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
2And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days; that they might accuse him.
3Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
3And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.
4And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.
4And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.
5Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.
5And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.
6At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
6And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,
7But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea,
8Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.
8And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him.
9Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.
9And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.
10For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.
11And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
11And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying:
12But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
12Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known.
13Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
13And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him.
14He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
14And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.
15and to have authority to drive out demons.
15And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.
16These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
16And to Simon he gave the name Peter:
17James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
17And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
18And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananean:
19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
19And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
20And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
21And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.
22And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
22And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
23So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
23And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?
24If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
26And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.
27Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
27No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house.
28Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
28Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme:
29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.
30Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
30Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit.
31Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
31And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”
32And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
33And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?
34Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
34And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
35For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
35For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
