Mark 3
Worldwide English (New Testament)
3 Jesus went into the meeting house again. A man was there whose right hand was thin and weak.
2 The Pharisees watched Jesus to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day. They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.
3 He spoke to the man whose hand was thin and weak. He said, `Stand here.'
4 Then he spoke to the Pharisees. He said, `Is it right to do good things on the Sabbath day or to do wrong things? Is it right to heal people so they will live, or to let them die?' But the Pharisees said nothing.
5 Jesus was angry as he looked at them. And he was sad that their hearts were so hard. Then he said to the man, `Hold out your hand.' The man did so, and it was made well like the other hand.
6 The Pharisees went out. Right away they and the servants of King Herod planned together how to kill Jesus.
8 Jesus and his disciples went away to the sea of Galilee. Many people went with Jesus. They came from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and from the other side of the Jordan River. And many more people came also, a great many from around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They also had heard about the great works that Jesus had done.
9 Jesus saw that the crowd was very big. He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for him so that he would have more room.
10 He did this because he healed many people. All who were sick tried to touch him.
11 When the bad spirits saw Jesus, they bowed down before him. They shouted, `You are God's Son!'
12 He told them they must not tell anyone who he was.
13 Then Jesus went up on the hill. He wanted some of the people to come with him. So he called them and they came.
14 He chose twelve disciples to stay with him. He wanted to send them out to other places to tell people God's word.
15 He gave them power to heal people and to drive bad spirits out of people.
16 One of the twelve was Simon, whom Jesus called Peter.
17 He also chose James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee, whom he named Boanerges, which means "Men of Thunder."
19 He also chose Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon of Canan, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him. Then Jesus and his disciples went home.
20 So many people came again that they could not even eat.
21 When Jesus' family heard about this, they came to take him away. They said, `He is crazy.'
22 The scribes who came from Jerusalem also talked about Jesus. They said, `Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits, is in this man. He drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub.'
23 Jesus called the people and talked to them in stories. He asked, `How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 If one part of a country fights against another part of the country, that country cannot be strong.
25 If one part of a family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.
26 If Satan fights against himself and the bad spirits fight against each other, he cannot stand. It will be the end of him.
27 If anyone wants to go into a strong man's house and steal his things, he must first tie the strong man. Then he can steal his things.
28 `I tell you the truth. All wrong things that people do and say about anyone will be forgiven.
29 But people who say wrong things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. A person who does that will be punished for ever.'
30 Jesus said all this because the scribes said, `A bad spirit is in him.'
31 Jesus' mother and brothers came to him. They stood outside. They sent someone to him.
32 Many people were sitting around him. They said, `See, your mother and your brothers are outside. They want you.'
33 Jesus asked them, `Who are my mother and my brothers?'
34 Then he looked at the people who sat around him. He said, `These people are my mother and my brothers!
35 Anyone who obeys God is my brother, my sister, and my mother.'
Mark 3
New King James Version
Healing on the Sabbath(A)
3 And (B)He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 So they (C)watched Him closely, whether He would (D)heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might [a]accuse Him. 3 And He said to the man who had the withered hand, [b]“Step forward.” 4 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. 5 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. 6 (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)
7 But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, (I)and from Judea 8 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. 9 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.”

Marcos 3
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
3 En otra ocasión entró en la sinagoga, y había allí un hombre que tenía la mano paralizada. 2 Algunos que buscaban un motivo para acusar a Jesús no le quitaban la vista de encima para ver si sanaba al enfermo en sábado. 3 Entonces Jesús le dijo al hombre de la mano paralizada:
―Ponte de pie frente a todos.
4 Luego dijo a los otros:
―¿Qué está permitido en sábado: hacer el bien o hacer el mal, salvar una vida o matar?
Pero ellos permanecieron callados. 5 Jesús se quedó mirándoles, enojado y entristecido por la dureza de su corazón, y dijo al hombre:
―Extiende la mano.
La extendió, y la mano quedó restablecida. 6 Tan pronto como salieron los fariseos, comenzaron a tramar con los herodianos cómo matar a Jesús.
La multitud sigue a Jesús(A)
7 Jesús se retiró al lago con sus discípulos, y mucha gente de Galilea lo siguió. 8 Cuando se enteraron de todo lo que hacía, acudieron también a él muchos de Judea y Jerusalén, de Idumea, del otro lado del Jordán y de las regiones de Tiro y Sidón. 9 Entonces, para evitar que la gente lo estrujara, encargó a sus discípulos que le tuvieran preparada una pequeña barca; 10 pues, como había sanado a muchos, todos los que sufrían dolencias se abalanzaban sobre él para tocarlo. 11 Además, los espíritus malignos, al verlo, se postraban ante él, gritando: «¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!» 12 Pero él les ordenó terminantemente que no dijeran quién era él.
Nombramiento de los doce apóstoles(B)
13 Subió Jesús a una montaña y llamó a los que quiso, los cuales se reunieron con él. 14 Designó a doce, a quienes nombró apóstoles,[a] para que lo acompañaran y para enviarlos a predicar 15 y ejercer autoridad para expulsar demonios. 16 Estos son los doce que él nombró: Simón (a quien llamó Pedro); 17 Jacobo y su hermano Juan, hijos de Zebedeo (a quienes llamó Boanerges, que significa: Hijos del trueno); 18 Andrés, Felipe, Bartolomé, Mateo, Tomás, Jacobo, hijo de Alfeo; Tadeo, Simón el Zelote 19 y Judas Iscariote, el que lo traicionó.
Jesús y Beelzebú(C)
20 Luego entró en una casa, y de nuevo se aglomeró tanta gente que ni siquiera podían comer él y sus discípulos. 21 Cuando se enteraron sus parientes, salieron a hacerse cargo de él, porque decían: «Está fuera de sí».
22 Los maestros de la ley que habían llegado de Jerusalén decían: «¡Está poseído por Beelzebú! Expulsa a los demonios por medio del príncipe de los demonios».
23 Entonces Jesús los llamó y les habló en parábolas: «¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás? 24 Si un reino está dividido contra sí mismo, ese reino no puede mantenerse en pie. 25 Y, si una familia está dividida contra sí misma, esa familia no puede mantenerse en pie. 26 Igualmente, si Satanás se levanta contra sí mismo y se divide, no puede mantenerse en pie, sino que ha llegado su fin. 27 Ahora bien, nadie puede entrar en la casa de alguien fuerte y arrebatarle sus bienes a menos que primero lo ate. Solo entonces podrá robar su casa. 28 Os aseguro que todos los pecados y blasfemias se les perdonarán a todos por igual, 29 excepto a quien blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo. Este no tendrá perdón jamás; es culpable de un pecado eterno».
30 Es que ellos habían dicho: «Tiene un espíritu maligno».
La madre y los hermanos de Jesús(D)
31 En eso llegaron la madre y los hermanos de Jesús. Se quedaron afuera y enviaron a alguien a llamarlo, 32 pues había mucha gente sentada alrededor de él.
―Mira, tu madre y tus hermanos[b] están afuera y te buscan —le dijeron.
33 ―¿Quiénes son mi madre y mis hermanos? —replicó Jesús.
34 Luego echó una mirada a los que estaban sentados alrededor de él y añadió:
―Aquí tenéis a mi madre y a mis hermanos. 35 Cualquiera que hace la voluntad de Dios es mi hermano, mi hermana y mi madre.
