Jesus cura no sábado

Em outra ocasião, Jesus entrou na sinagoga e notou que havia ali um homem com uma das mãos deformada. Os inimigos de Jesus o observavam atentamente. Se ele curasse a mão do homem, planejavam acusá-lo, pois era sábado.

Jesus disse ao homem com a mão deformada: “Venha e fique diante de todos”. Em seguida, voltou-se para seus críticos e perguntou: “O que a lei permite fazer no sábado? O bem ou o mal? Salvar uma vida ou destruí-la?”. Eles ficaram em silêncio.

Jesus olhou para os que estavam ao seu redor, irado e muito triste pelo coração endurecido deles. Então disse ao homem: “Estenda a mão”. O homem estendeu a mão, e ela foi restaurada. No mesmo instante, os fariseus saíram e se reuniram com os membros do partido de Herodes para tramar um modo de matá-lo.

Multidões seguem Jesus

Jesus saiu para o mar com seus discípulos, e uma grande multidão os seguiu. Vinham de todas as partes da Galileia, da Judeia, de Jerusalém, da Idumeia, do leste do rio Jordão e até de lugares distantes ao norte, como Tiro e Sidom. A notícia de seus milagres havia se espalhado para longe, e um grande número de pessoas vinha vê-lo.

Jesus instruiu seus discípulos a prepararem um barco para evitar que a multidão o esmagasse. 10 Havia curado muitos naquele dia, e os enfermos se empurravam para chegar até ele e tocá-lo. 11 E, sempre que o viam, os espíritos impuros se atiravam no chão na frente dele e gritavam: “Você é o Filho de Deus!”. 12 Jesus, porém, lhes dava ordens severas para que não revelassem quem ele era.

Jesus escolhe os doze apóstolos

13 Depois, Jesus subiu a um monte e chamou aqueles que ele desejava que o acompanhassem, e eles foram. 14 Escolheu doze e os chamou seus apóstolos,[a] para que o seguissem e fossem enviados para anunciar sua mensagem, 15 e lhes deu autoridade para expulsar demônios. 16 Estes foram os doze que ele escolheu:

Simão, a quem ele chamou Pedro,

17 Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu, aos quais deu o nome de Boanerges, que significa “filhos do trovão”,

18 André,

Filipe,

Bartolomeu,

Mateus,

Tomé,

Tiago, filho de Alfeu,

Tadeu,

Simão, o cananeu,

19 Judas Iscariotes, que depois o traiu.

A fonte do poder de Jesus

20 Certo dia, Jesus entrou numa casa, e as multidões começaram a se juntar outra vez. Logo, ele e seus discípulos não tinham tempo nem para comer. 21 Quando os familiares de Jesus souberam o que estava acontecendo, tentaram impedi-lo de continuar. “Está fora de si”, diziam.

22 Então os mestres da lei, que tinham vindo de Jerusalém, disseram: “Está possuído por Belzebu, príncipe dos demônios. É dele que recebe poder para expulsar demônios”.

23 Jesus os chamou e respondeu com uma comparação: “Como é possível Satanás expulsar Satanás?”, perguntou. 24 “Um reino dividido internamente será destruído. 25 Da mesma forma, uma família dividida contra si mesma se desintegrará. 26 E, se Satanás está dividido e luta contra si mesmo, não pode se manter de pé; está acabado. 27 Quem tem poder para entrar na casa de um homem forte e saquear seus bens? Somente alguém ainda mais forte, alguém capaz de amarrá-lo e saquear sua casa.

28 “Eu lhes digo a verdade: todo pecado e toda blasfêmia podem ser perdoados, 29 mas quem blasfemar contra o Espírito Santo jamais será perdoado. Esse é um pecado com consequências eternas.” 30 Ele disse isso porque afirmavam: “Está possuído por um espírito impuro”.

A verdadeira família de Jesus

31 Então a mãe e os irmãos de Jesus foram vê-lo. Ficaram do lado de fora e mandaram alguém avisá-lo para sair e falar com eles. 32 Havia muitas pessoas sentadas ao seu redor, e alguém disse: “Sua mãe e seus irmãos[b] estão lá fora e o procuram”.

33 Jesus respondeu: “Quem é minha mãe? Quem são meus irmãos?”. 34 Então olhou para aqueles que estavam ao seu redor e disse: “Vejam, estes são minha mãe e meus irmãos. 35 Quem faz a vontade de Deus é meu irmão, minha irmã e minha mãe”.

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.”

Healing on the Sabbath(A)

And (B)He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. So they (C)watched Him closely, whether He would (D)heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might [a]accuse Him. And He said to the man who had the withered hand, [b]“Step forward.” Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent. And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the (E)hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored [c]as whole as the other. (F)Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with (G)the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

A Great Multitude Follows Jesus(H)

But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, (I)and from Judea and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how (J)many things He was doing, came to Him. So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. 10 For He healed (K)many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to (L)touch Him. 11 (M)And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, (N)“You are the Son of God.” 12 But (O)He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.

The Twelve Apostles(P)

13 (Q)And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. 14 Then He appointed twelve, [d]that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, 15 and to have [e]power [f]to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16 [g]Simon, (R)to whom He gave the name Peter; 17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”; 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.

A House Divided Cannot Stand(S)

20 Then the multitude came together again, (T)so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21 But when His (U)own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, (V)for they said, “He is out of His mind.”

22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, (W)“He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the (X)ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”

23 (Y)So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27 (Z)No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin(AA)

28 (AB)“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation” 30 because they (AC)said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Send for Him(AD)

31 (AE)Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. 32 And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers [h]are outside seeking You.”

33 But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” 34 And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the (AF)will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.”
