Anderson - Mark - 3

3:1  And again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

3:2  And they watched him, whether he would cure him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse him.

3:3  And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and come into the midst.

3:4  And he said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

3:5  And looking around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he said to the man: Stretch forth your hand; and he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.

3:6  And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians, and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.

3:7  And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and there followed him a great multitude from Galilee, and from Judea,

3:8  and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him.

3:9  And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should continue near him, because of the multitude, that they might not press upon him.

3:10  For he cured many, so that as many as had diseases rushed upon him, that they might touch him.

3:11  And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying: Thou art the Son of God.

3:12  And he strictly charged them, that they should not make him known.

3:13  And he went up into a mountain, and called to him such as he wished, and they came to him.

3:14  And he appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

3:15  and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out demons.

3:16  And Simon he surnamed Peter;

3:17  and James the sou of Zebedee, and John the brother of James: and these he surnamed Boanerges, which means, sons of thunder:

3:18  and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Canaanite,

3:19  and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up. And they went into a house:

3:20  and the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread.

3:21  And when his relatives heard of it, they came out to take him; for they said: He is beside himself.

3:22  And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said: He has Beelzebul; and by the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.

3:23  And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?

3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom can not stand.

3:25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand.

3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he can not stand, but has an end.

3:27  No one can enter the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

3:28  Verily I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever impious speeches they may utter;

3:29  but whoever will speak impiously against the Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.

3:30  For they said: He has an unclean spirit.

3:31  His mother and his brothers came, therefore, and standing without, sent to him, and called him.

3:32  And the multitude was sitting about him; and they said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are without, seeking you.

3:33  And he answered them and said: Who is my mother, or my brothers?

3:34  And he looked round about on those who were sitting near him, and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers;

3:35  for whoever will do the will of God, is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
