And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, [a]Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored. And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judaea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing [b]what great things he did, came unto him. And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him: 10 for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had [c]plagues [d]pressed upon him that they might touch him. 11 And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12 And he charged them much that they should not make him known.

13 And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him. 14 And he appointed twelve, [e]that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have authority to cast out demons: 16 [f]and Simon he surnamed Peter; 17 and [g]James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of [h]James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder: 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and [i]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the [j]Cananaean, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also [k]betrayed him.

And he cometh [l]into a house. 20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21 And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22 And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath [m]Beelzebub, and, [n]By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons. 23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan hath risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 28 Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: 30 because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

31 And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. 32 And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren? 34 And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

At siya'y muling pumasok sa sinagoga; at doo'y may isang lalake na tuyo ang kaniyang kamay.

At siya'y inaabangan nila kung pagagalingin siya sa araw ng sabbath; upang siya'y maisakdal nila.

At sinabi sa lalaking tuyo ang kamay, Magtindig ka.

At sinabi niya sa kanila, Katuwiran baga ang gumawa ng magaling sa araw ng sabbath, o ang gumawa ng masama? magligtas ng isang buhay, o pumatay? Datapuwa't sila'y hindi nagsiimik.

At nang siya'y lumingap sa kanila sa palibotlibot na may galit, sapagka't ikinalungkot niya ang katigasan ng kanilang puso, ay sinabi niya sa lalake, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay. At iniunat niya: at gumaling ang kaniyang kamay.

At nagsilabas ang mga Fariseo, at pagdaka'y nakipagsanggunian sa mga Herodiano laban sa kaniya, kung paanong siya'y maipapupuksa nila.

At si Jesus na kasama ng kaniyang mga alagad ay lumigpit sa dagat: at nagsisunod sa kaniya ang lubhang karamihang taong mula sa Galilea; at mula sa Judea,

At mula sa Jerusalem, at mula sa Idumea, at mula sa dakong ibayo ng Jordan, at sa palibotlibot ng Tiro, at Sidon, na lubhang maraming tao, nang mabalitaan ang lubhang mga dakilang bagay na kaniyang ginagawa, ay nagsiparoon sa kaniya.

At sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, na ihanda sa kaniya ang isang maliit na daong dahil sa karamihan, baka siya'y kanilang siksikin:

10 Sapagka't siya'y nakapagpagaling sa marami; ano pa't sinisiksik siya ng lahat ng mga nasasalot upang siya'y mahipo nila.

11 At ang mga karumaldumal na espiritu, pagkakita sa kaniya, ay nangagpatirapa sa kaniyang harapan, at nangagsisisigaw, na nangagsasabi, Ikaw ang Anak ng Dios.

12 At ipinagbilin niya sa kanilang mahigpit na siya'y huwag nilang ihayag.

13 At siya'y umahon sa bundok, at tinawag niya ang balang kaniyang maibigan: at nagsilapit sila sa kaniya.

14 At naghalal siya ng labingdalawa, upang sila'y makisama sa kaniya, at upang sila'y suguin niyang magsipangaral,

15 At magkaroon ng kapamahalaang magpalayas ng mga demonio:

16 At si Simon ay kaniyang pinamagatang Pedro;

17 At si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo, at si Juan na kapatid ni Santiago; at sila'y pinamagatan niyang Boanerges, na sa makatuwid baga'y mga Anak ng kulog:

18 At si Andres, at si Felipe, at si Bartolome, at si Mateo, at si Tomas, at si Santiago, na anak ni Alfeo, at si Tadeo, at si Simon ang Cananeo,

19 At si Judas Iscariote, na siya ring nagkanulo sa kaniya. At pumasok siya sa isang bahay.

20 At muling nagkatipon ang karamihan, ano pa't sila'y hindi man lamang makakain ng tinapay.

21 At nang mabalitaan yaon ng kaniyang mga kaibigan, ay nagsilabas sila upang siya'y hulihin: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Sira ang kaniyang bait.

22 At sinabi ng mga eskriba na nagsibaba mula sa Jerusalem, Nasa kaniya si Beelzebub, at, Sa pamamagitan ng prinsipe ng mga demonio ay nagpapalabas siya ng mga demonio.

23 At sila'y kaniyang pinalapit sa kaniya, at sinabi sa kanila sa mga talinghaga, Paanong mapalalabas ni Satanas si Satanas?

24 At kung ang isang kaharian ay magkabahabahagi laban sa kaniyang sarili, hindi mangyayaring makapanatili ang kaharian yaon.

25 At kung ang isang bahay ay magkabahabahagi laban sa kaniyang sarili, ay hindi mangyayaring makapanatili ang bahay na yaon.

26 At kung manghihimagsik si Satanas laban sa kaniyang sarili, at magkabahabahagi, hindi siya makapanananatili, kundi magkakaroon ng isang wakas.

27 Datapuwa't walang makapapasok sa bahay ng malakas na tao, at samsamin ang kaniyang mga pag-aari, malibang gapusin muna niya ang malakas na tao; at kung magkagayo'y masasamsaman ang kaniyang bahay.

28 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ipatatawad ang lahat ng kanilang mga kasalanan sa mga anak ng mga tao, at ang mga kapusungan nila kailan ma't sila'y mangagsasalita ng kapusungan:

29 Datapuwa't sinomang magsalita ng kapusungan laban sa Espiritu Santo ay walang kapatawaran magpakailan man, kundi may kasalanan ng isang kasalanang walang hanggan:

30 Sapagka't sinabi nila, Siya'y may isang karumaldumal na espiritu.

31 At dumating nga ang kaniyang ina at ang kaniyang mga kapatid; at, palibhasa'y nangakatayo sila sa labas, ay nangagpasugo sila sa kaniya, na siya'y tinatawag.

32 At nangakaupo ang isang karamihan sa palibot niya; at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Narito, nangasa labas ang iyong ina at ang iyong mga kapatid na hinahanap ka.

33 At sinagot niya sila, at sinabi, Sino ang aking ina at aking mga kapatid?

34 At paglingap niya sa nangakaupo sa palibot niya, ay sinabi niya, Narito, ang aking ina at aking mga kapatid!

35 Sapagka't sinomang gumaganap ng kalooban ng Dios, ito'y ang aking kapatid na lalake, at aking kapatid na babae, at ina.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue,(A) and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(B) to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.(C) Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(D) how they might kill Jesus.(E)

Crowds Follow Jesus(F)

Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.(G) When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.(H) Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,(I) so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.(J) 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”(K) 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.(L)

Jesus Appoints the Twelve(M)

13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.(N) 14 He appointed twelve[a](O) that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.(P) 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),(Q) 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law(R)(S)

20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered,(T) so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.(U) 21 When his family[b] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”(V)

22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem(W) said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!(X) By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”(Y)

23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:(Z) “How can Satan(AA) drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.(AB) 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”(AC)

30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.(AD) Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
