Geneva1599 - Mark - 3

3:1  And he entred againe into ye Synagogue, and there was a man which had a withered had.

3:2  And they watched him, whether he would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

3:3  Then he saide vnto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the middes.

3:4  And he saide to them, Is it lawfull to doe a good deede on the Sabbath day, or to doe euil? to saue the life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

3:5  Then hee looked rounde about on them angerly, mourning also for the hardnesse of their hearts, and saide to the man, Stretch foorth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hande was restored, as whole as the other.

3:6  And the Pharises departed, and straightway gathered a councill with the Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.

3:7  But Iesus auoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galile, and from Iudea,

3:8  And from Ierusalem, and from Idumea, and beyonde Iordan: and they that dwelled about Tyrus and Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him in great number.

3:9  And he commanded his disciples, that a litle shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, lest they shoulde throng him.

3:10  For hee had healed many, in so much that they preassed vpon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.

3:11  And when the vncleane spirits sawe him, they fel downe before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne of God.

3:12  And he sharply rebuked them, to the ende they should not vtter him.

3:13  Then hee went vp into a mountaine, and called vnto him whome he woulde, and they came vnto him.

3:14  And hee appoynted twelue that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preache,

3:15  And that they might haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuils.

3:16  And the first was Simon, and hee named Simon, Peter,

3:17  Then Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn Iames brother (and surnamed them Boanerges, which is, the sonnes of thunder,)

3:18  And Andrew, and Philippe, and Bartlemew, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames, the sonne of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

3:19  And Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him, and they came home.

3:20  And the multitude assembled againe, so that they could not so much as eate bread.

3:21  And when his kinsfolkes heard of it, they went out to laie hold on him: for they sayde that he was beside himselfe.

3:22  And the Scribes which came downe from Hierusalem, saide, He hath Beelzebub, and through the prince of the deuils he casteth out deuils.

3:23  But he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, How can Satan driue out Satan?

3:24  For if a kingdome bee deuided against it selfe, that kingdome can not stand.

3:25  Or if a house bee deuided against it selfe, that house can not continue.

3:26  So if Satan make insurrection against himselfe, and be deuided, hee can not endure but is at an ende.

3:27  No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goods, except hee first binde that strong man, and then spoyle his house.

3:28  Verely I say vnto you, all sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the children of men, and blasphemies, wherewith they blaspheme:

3:29  But hee that blasphemeth against the holy Ghost, shall neuer haue forgiuenesse, but is culpable of eternall damnation.

3:30  Because they saide, Hee had an vncleane spirit.

3:31  Then came his brethren and mother, and stoode without, and sent vnto him, and called him.

3:32  And the people sate about him, and they said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother, and thy brethren seeke for thee without.

3:33  But hee answered them, saying, Who is my mother and my brethren?

3:34  And hee looked rounde about on them, which sate in compasse about him, and saide, Beholde my mother and my brethren.

3:35  For whosoeuer doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
