Haweis - Mark - 3

3:1  AND he entered again into the synagogue; and a man was there who had a withered hand.

3:2  And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him.

3:3  And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up in the midst.

3:4  And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent.

3:5  Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other.

3:6  And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

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

3:8  and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him.

3:9  And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him:

3:10  for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases.

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

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

3:13  And he went up into a mountain, and called to him those whom he chose; and they came to him.

3:14  And he appointed twelve to be with him, and to send them out to preach:

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

3:16  and Simon he surnamed Peter;

3:17  and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder:

3:18  and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

3:19  and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they came into an house.

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

3:21  And when his relations heard it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, He is transported beyond all bounds.

3:22  And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by this prince of the devils doth he cast out devils.

3:23  So calling them to him, he spake to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

3:24  Even if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand:

3:25  and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot be established.

3:26  So if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but cometh to an end.

3:27  No man entering into his house, can plunder a strong man’s goods, unless he first bind the strong man, then indeed he spoileth his house.

3:28  Verily I say unto you, That all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies, whatsoever they may blaspheme:

3:29  but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath no forgiveness to eternity, but is adjudged to everlasting damnation.

3:30  Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit.

3:31  Then came his brethren and his mother, and standing without sent unto him, calling aloud for him.

3:32  And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without are asking for thee.

3:33  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

3:34  And looking about on those who were sitting in a circle round him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brethren!

3:35  For whosoever shall do the will of God, that person is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
