Mark 3
King James Version
3 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
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 cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
Mark 3
New International Reader's Version
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath Day
3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue. A man with a weak and twisted hand was there. 2 Some Pharisees were trying to find fault with Jesus. They watched him closely. They wanted to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day. 3 Jesus spoke to the man with the weak and twisted hand. “Stand up in front of everyone,” he said.
4 Then Jesus asked them, “What does the Law say we should do on the Sabbath day? Should we do good? Or should we do evil? Should we save life? Or should we kill?” But no one answered.
5 Jesus looked around at them in anger. He was very upset because their hearts were stubborn. Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand had become as good as new. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to make plans with the Herodians. They wanted to kill Jesus.
Crowds Follow Jesus
7 Jesus went off to the Sea of Galilee with his disciples. A large crowd from Galilee followed. 8 People heard about all that Jesus was doing. And many came to him. They came from Judea, Jerusalem and Idumea. They came from the lands east of the Jordan River. And they came from the area around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd, Jesus told his disciples to get a small boat ready for him. This would keep the people from crowding him. 10 Jesus had healed many people. So those who were sick were pushing forward to touch him. 11 When people controlled by evil spirits saw him, they fell down in front of him. The spirits shouted, “You are the Son of God!” 12 But Jesus ordered them not to tell people about him.
Jesus Appoints the Twelve Disciples
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside. He called for certain people to come to him, and they came. 14 He appointed 12 of them so that they would be with him. He would also send them out to preach. 15 And he gave them authority to drive out demons.
16 So Jesus appointed the 12 disciples.
Simon was one of them. Jesus gave him the name Peter.
17 There were James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. Jesus gave them the name Boanerges. Boanerges means Sons of Thunder.
18 There were also Andrew,
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Matthew,
Thomas,
and James, son of Alphaeus.
And there were Thaddaeus
and Simon the Zealot.
19 Judas Iscariot was one of them too. He was the one who was later going to hand Jesus over to his enemies.
Jesus Is Accused by Teachers of the Law
20 Jesus entered a house. Again a crowd gathered. It was so large that Jesus and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 His family heard about this. So they went to take charge of him. They said, “He is out of his mind.”
22 Some teachers of the law were there. They had come down from Jerusalem. They said, “He is controlled by Beelzebul! He is driving out demons by the power of the prince of demons.”
23 So Jesus called them over to him. He began to speak to them using stories. He said, “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom fights against itself, it can’t stand. 25 If a family is divided, it can’t stand. 26 And if Satan fights against himself, and his helpers are divided, he can’t stand. That is the end of him. 27 In fact, none of you can enter a strong man’s house unless you tie him up first. Then you can steal things from his house. 28 What I’m about to tell you is true. Everyone’s sins and evil words against God will be forgiven. 29 But whoever speaks evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. Their guilt will last forever.”
30 Jesus said this because the teachers of the law were saying, “He has an evil spirit.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
31 Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to get him. 32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. They told him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They are looking for you.”
33 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then Jesus looked at the people sitting in a circle around him. He said, “Here is my mother! Here are my brothers! 35 Anyone who does what God wants is my brother or sister or mother.”

Người Teo Tay(A)
3 Lần khác, Đức Giê-su đi vào hội đường, gặp[a] một người bị teo tay. 2 Họ theo dõi xem Ngài có chữa lành cho người đó trong ngày Sa-bát không để tố cáo Ngài. 3 Ngài bảo người teo tay: “Hãy đứng dậy đến giữa đây.”
4 Rồi Ngài hỏi: “Trong ngày Sa-bát nên làm điều thiện hay điều ác? Cứu người hay giết người?” Nhưng họ đều im lặng.
5 Ngài nhìn mọi người quanh mình, cảm thấy tức giận và buồn phiền vì lòng họ chai đá. Ngài bảo người teo tay: “Hãy duỗi tay ra.” Người duỗi tay ra, tay được lành lặn. 6 Những người Pha-ri-si bỏ đi ra, liền họp với đảng viên Hê-rốt âm mưu để giết Ngài.
Đoàn Dân Trên Bờ Biển
7 Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ lánh về phía bờ biển. Một đoàn dân đông từ các miền Ga-li-lê, Giu-đa, 8 Giê-ru-sa-lem, I-đơ-mia, bên kia sông Giô-đanh, miền xung quanh Ty-rơ và Sy-đôn kéo đến cùng Ngài vì họ đã nghe rất nhiều việc Ngài làm. 9 Vì đông người nên Ngài dặn môn đệ chuẩn bị sẵn một chiếc thuyền con phòng khi bị lấn ép. 10 Vì Ngài đã chữa lành nhiều người, nên những người bệnh tật chen lấn cốt để sờ vào Ngài. 11 Mỗi khi tà linh thấy Ngài, chúng đều quỳ xuống trước mặt Ngài, la lớn: “Thầy là Con Đức Chúa Trời.” 12 Nhưng Ngài nghiêm cấm chúng tiết lộ điều đó.[b]
Chúa Chọn Mười Hai Sứ-đồ(B)
13 Đức Giê-su lên núi, gọi[c] những người Ngài[d] chọn và họ đến với Ngài. 14 Ngài thiết lập Mười Hai Sứ Đồ,[e] cho họ theo bên cạnh Ngài, để Ngài sai đi truyền giảng 15 và ban cho quyền uy đuổi quỷ. 16 Đây là mười hai người Ngài đã lập: Si-môn, Ngài đặt tên là Phê-rơ; 17 Gia-cơ con Xê-bê-đê, và Giăng là em Gia-cơ, Ngài gọi họ là Bô-a-nẹt, nghĩa là con của sấm sét; 18 An-rê, Phi-líp, Ba-thê-lê-mi, Ma-thi-ơ, Thô-ma, Gia-cơ con của An-phê, Tha-đê, Si-môn người thuộc đảng Ca-na-an, 19 và Giu-đa Ích-ca-ri-ốt, là kẻ phản Ngài.
Chúa Giê-su Và Quỷ Vương(C)
20 Khi Đức Giê-su về đến nhà, dân chúng lại tụ họp đông đảo, đến nỗi Ngài và môn đệ không thể dùng bữa được. 21 Thân nhân Ngài nghe vậy tìm đến canh chừng Ngài, vì họ bảo rằng Ngài bị quẫn trí.
22 Nhưng các giáo sư Kinh Luật từ Giê-ru-sa-lem đến lại nói: “Ông ấy bị quỷ Bê-ên-xê-bun ám và cậy quỷ vương mà trừ quỷ.”
23 Đức Giê-su kêu họ đến, dùng ngụ ngôn giải thích: “Làm sao Sa-tan có thể trừ Sa-tan được? 24 Một nước tự chia rẽ thì nước ấy không sao đứng vững được, 25 một nhà tự chia rẽ thì sẽ không đứng vững được. 26 Nếu Sa-tan tự chống nghịch và chia rẽ thì không tồn tại được nhưng sẽ bị tiêu diệt. 27 Không ai có thể vào nhà một người mạnh để cướp của mà không trói người mạnh kia trước, phải trói nó trước rồi mới cướp được.”
Tội Phạm Đến Đức Thánh Linh(D)
28 “Ta quả quyết với các ông: Mọi tội lỗi loài người phạm đều có thể tha được, kể cả những lời phạm thượng. 29 Nhưng ai phạm thượng chống Đức Thánh Linh thì sẽ chẳng bao giờ được tha mà phải mắc tội muôn đời.”
30 Sở dĩ Ngài nói như vậy vì họ cho rằng Ngài bị tà linh ám.
Mẹ Và Các Em Chúa(E)
31 Mẹ và các em Ngài đến đứng bên ngoài cho người gọi Ngài. 32 Đoàn dân đông ngồi quanh Ngài, họ thưa với Ngài: “Kìa, mẹ và các em Thầy đang ở ngoài kia tìm Thầy.”
33 Ngài đáp: “Ai là mẹ Ta? Ai là anh em Ta?”
34 Rồi Ngài quay lại nhìn những người ngồi chung quanh, mà bảo: “Đây là mẹ Ta và anh em Ta? 35 Vì người nào làm theo ý Đức Chúa Trời đều là anh em, chị em, và mẹ Ta.”
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.”
