Mark 3
EasyEnglish Bible
Jesus makes a man well
3 Another time, Jesus went into the Jewish meeting place. A man was there. His hand was very small and weak, so he could not use it. 2 Some Pharisees were watching Jesus carefully. They wanted to find a reason to say that Jesus was doing wrong things. It was the Jewish day of rest. So the Pharisees watched Jesus to see if he would make the man well on this day. 3 Jesus said to the man, ‘Stand here in front of everyone.’
4 Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, ‘Is it right for us to do good things on our day of rest? Or should we do bad things? Should we save a person's life? Or should we kill people?’
Nobody said anything.
5 Jesus looked round at everybody. He felt angry with them. He also felt sad because they did not want to learn. Then he said to the man, ‘Lift up your hand.’ The man lifted his hand and it became well. He could use it again. 6 The Pharisees left the meeting place immediately. They went to meet with some other people who were friends with the ruler, Herod.[a] The Pharisees talked with them about how they could kill Jesus.
Crowds follow Jesus
7 Jesus left that place and he went away to Lake Galilee with his disciples. A large crowd of people from Galilee followed them. 8 Many people also came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem and from a region of Israel called Idumea. They also came from places on the other side of the Jordan River, and from the towns called Tyre and Sidon. Many people had heard about the things that Jesus was doing. That is why all these people came to him. 9 The crowd was very large. So Jesus asked his disciples to prepare a small boat for him. They did this so that the people would not push against him. 10 Sick people were pushing to the front, because they were trying to touch him. They knew that he had made many people well. 11 Often, a person with a bad spirit saw Jesus. Then, the spirit caused the person to fall down on the ground in front of Jesus. The spirit caused that person to shout out, ‘You are the Son of God.’ 12 Jesus often had to say to the bad spirits, ‘You must not tell anyone who I am.’
Jesus chooses 12 apostles
13 Jesus went up a mountain. He chose some men and he asked them to go there with him. So they met together with him there. 14 He chose a group of 12 men. He called them his apostles.[b] He wanted them to be with him. And he would send them to teach people about God. 15 He gave these men authority to cause bad spirits to leave people. 16 These are the names of the 12 apostles:
Simon, (Jesus called him Peter).
17 James and John who were the sons of Zebedee. Jesus called them ‘Boanerges’. It means ‘men who are like thunder’.
18 Andrew,
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Matthew,[c]
Thomas,
James, who was the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddaeus,[d]
Simon the Zealot
19 and Judas Iscariot, who later gave Jesus to his enemies.
Jesus talks about Satan
20 Then Jesus went into a house. A crowd of people came together there again. There were so many people that Jesus and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 People told his family what was happening. So they went to take him away with them. They thought that Jesus was crazy.[e]
22 Some teachers of God's Law came from Jerusalem. They said, ‘Jesus has a bad spirit called Beelzebul in him. That is Satan, the one who rules all the bad spirits. This man can send bad spirits out of people because Satan gives him authority.’[f]
23 So Jesus spoke to the teachers of God's Law. He said, ‘Come here and listen to me.’ He used stories to explain to them, ‘Satan would not fight against himself! 24 If armies in the same country start to fight each other, then they will destroy their own country. 25 And if the people in one family start to fight against each other, they will destroy their own family. 26 So Satan would not attack himself. If he did that, he would destroy his own power. That would be the end of him. 27 Nobody can easily go into the house of a strong man to rob him. To do that, he must first tie up the strong man. Then he can take away all that man's valuable things. 28 I tell you this: God can forgive all the wrong things that people do. He can also forgive people who say bad things against him. 29 But God will never forgive people who say bad things against the Holy Spirit. Those people will always be guilty of a terrible sin.’
30 Jesus said that to the teachers of God's Law, because they had said, ‘Jesus has a bad spirit in him.’
Jesus' mother and his brothers come to look for him
31 Then, Jesus' mother and his brothers arrived and they stood outside the house. They sent someone into the house with a message. They wanted Jesus to come out to speak to them. 32 A crowd of people was sitting around Jesus. Somebody said to him, ‘Look! Your mother and brothers are outside. They are looking for you.’
33 Jesus replied, ‘I will tell you who my mother and brothers really are.’
34 Then he looked at the people who were sitting around him. He said, ‘Look! Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 My brothers and sisters and my mother are the people who do what God wants.’[g]
Footnotes
- 3:6 The people who were friends with Herod were important Jews. Herod ruled part of Israel on behalf of the Romans. His friends were happy because the Romans had authority in Israel. They did not like Jesus. They thought that he would cause problems for Herod.
- 3:14 Jesus had many disciples. He chose 12 of them to be with him, so that he could teach them. He also called these 12 men apostles. The word apostle means that someone has sent the person out to do a job. Their job was to tell other people about Jesus.
- 3:18 Matthew is another name for Levi.
- 3:18 In Luke 6:16, Thaddaeus is called Judas, the son of James.
- 3:21 Jesus' family lived in Nazareth, which was 40 kilometres away from Capernaum.
- 3:22 Beelzebul is another name for Satan. They are both names for God's greatest enemy.
- 3:35 People who believe in Jesus become part of the family of God.

Evanđelje po Marku 3
Knijga O Kristu
Isus iscjeljuje u subotu
3 Isus ponovno ode u tamošnju sinagogu. Ondje je bio neki čovjek usahnule ruke.
2 Isusovi neprijatelji budno su pazili hoće li mu iscijeliti ruku u subotu da ga mogu optužiti.
3 Isus pozove čovjeka da priđe i stane pred skup.
4 Zatim im reče: 'Znamo što nam naš zakon dopušta činiti subotom: dobro, a ne zlo. Dopušta nam spasiti život, a ne uništiti ga.' Šutjeli su.
5 Srdito ih pogleda duboko ožalošćen tvrdoćom njihovih srca te reče čovjeku: 'Ispruži ruku!' On ju ispruži, a ruka mu ozdravi.
6 Farizeji se smjesta odu dogovoriti s herodovcima da ubiju Isusa.
Mnoštvo slijedi Isusa
7 Isus i njegovi učenici odu na jezero, a za njima krene veliko mnoštvo iz cijele Galileje, Judeje,
8 Jeruzalema, Idumeje, s istočne strane Jordana, čak i iz okolice Tira i Sidona. Vijest o čudima koje je činio nadaleko se pročula, pa su ga dolazili osobno vidjeti.
9 Isus reče učenicima da mu dovezu čamac koji će biti spreman ako se mnoštvo previše natisne oko njega.
10 Toga je dana mnoge iscijelio pa je na njega nahrupilo golemo mnoštvo bolesnika pokušavajući ga dotaknuti.
11 Kad bi ga vidjeli ljudi opsjednuti nečistim duhom, pali bi pred njim ničice i vikali: 'Ti si Božji Sin!'
12 A on im je oštro zabranjivao da ga očituju.
Isus izabira dvanaestoricu apostola
13 Zatim ode u goru i pozove one koje je izabrao da mu se ondje pridruže te oni dođu.
14 Od njih odabere dvanaestoricu apostola da ga prate, da ih šalje propovijedati
15 i da imaju vlast istjerivati zloduhe.
16 Evo imena Dvanaestorice što ih je izabrao:
Šimun (kojemu je nadjenuo ime Petar),
17 Jakov i Ivan
(Zebedejevi sinovi, kojima je Isus dao nadimak Sinovi groma[a]),
18 Andrija,
Filip,
Bartolomej,
Matej,
Toma,
Jakov (Alfejev sin),
Tadej,
Šimun (član političke stranke koja se
zalagala za nasilno svrgavanje rimske vlasti) i
19 Juda Iškariotski (koji ga je poslije izdao).
Isus i knez zloduha
20 Kad se vratio u dom gdje je boravio, opet je nagrnulo toliko mnoštvo da nisu stigli ni jesti.
21 Kad su za to čuli njegovi, dođu ga odvesti jer su govorili da je izvan sebe.
22 Ali pismoznanci što su došli iz Jeruzalema rekoše da ga je opsjeo Beelzebub, knez zloduha, pa da uz njegovu pomoć izgoni zloduhe.
23 Isus dozove ljude i počne im govoriti u prispodobama: 'Kako može Sotona izgoniti Sotonu?
24 Kraljevstvo koje je u sebi podvojeno propast će.
25 Dom u kojemu vlada nesloga ne može se održati.
26 Ako se dakle Sotona bori sam protiv sebe, kako će opstati? Ne bi uspio u tome.
27 Ne možete ući u kuću snažnog čovjeka i opljačkati ga a da ga najprije ne svežete. Tek ga tada možete orobiti.
28 Zaista vam kažem da se svaki ljudski grijeh može oprostiti, pa čak i hula.
29 Ali hula na Svetoga Duha nikad se ne može oprostiti. To je vječni grijeh.
30 To im reče jer su govorili da ima nečistog duha.
Prava Isusova obitelj
31 Stigli su onamo njegova majka i braća te mu po nekim ljudima poručili da iziđe razgovarati s njima.
32 Oko njega je sjedilo mnoštvo kad mu rekoše: 'Vani su ti majka, braća i sestre,[b] žele te vidjeti.'
33 On im odgovori: 'Tko mi je majka? Tko su mi braća?'
34 Pogleda ljude koji su sjedili u krugu oko njega, pa reče: 'Ovo su mi majka i braća!
35 Tko god tvori Božju volju, taj mi je brat, sestra i majka.'
