| 3:1 |
And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
|
| 3:2 |
and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.
|
| 3:3 |
And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.'
|
| 3:4 |
And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.
|
| 3:5 |
And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
|
| 3:6 |
and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
|
| 3:7 |
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
|
| 3:8 |
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
|
| 3:9 |
And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
|
| 3:10 |
for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues;
|
| 3:11 |
and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- `Thou art the Son of God;'
|
| 3:12 |
and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
|
| 3:13 |
And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
|
| 3:14 |
and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
|
| 3:15 |
and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
|
| 3:16 |
And he put on Simon the name Peter;
|
| 3:17 |
and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;'
|
| 3:18 |
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
|
| 3:19 |
and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
|
| 3:20 |
And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
|
| 3:21 |
and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
|
| 3:22 |
and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said -- `He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
|
| 3:23 |
And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
|
| 3:24 |
and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
|
| 3:25 |
and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
|
| 3:26 |
and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
|
| 3:27 |
`No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
|
| 3:28 |
`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
|
| 3:29 |
but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'
|
| 3:30 |
because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.'
|
| 3:31 |
Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
|
| 3:32 |
and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'
|
| 3:33 |
And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?'
|
| 3:34 |
And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!
|
| 3:35 |
for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
