Ang Tawo nga Pingkaw ang Kamot(A)

Sa liwat nagbalik si Jesus sa simbahan sang mga Judio kag may tawo didto nga pingkaw[a] ang kamot. Tungod nga ang mga Pariseo nagapangita gid sang kabangdanan nga maakusar nila si Jesus, ginabantayan nila kon bala ayuhon niya ang ato nga tawo sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway. Nagsiling si Jesus sa tawo nga pingkaw, “Magpalapit ka diri sa atubangan.” Pagkatapos nagpamangkot siya sa mga Pariseo, “Ano bala ang ginatugot sang aton Kasuguan sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway: ang paghimo sang maayo sa mga tawo ukon ang paghimo sang malain? Ang pagluwas sang ila kabuhi ukon ang pagpatay?” Pero wala gid sing may nagsabat. Gintulok sila ni Jesus nga may kaakig, pero nasubuan man siya tungod sang katig-a sang ila balatyagon. Dayon nagsiling siya sa tawo nga pingkaw, “Untaya ang imo kamot!” Gin-untay niya, kag nag-ayo ini. Pagkatapos sadto nagguwa ang mga Pariseo kag nagpakigkita sa mga sumulunod ni Haring Herodes. Nagplano sila kon paano nila mapatay si Jesus.

Madamo nga mga Tawo ang Nagtipon kay Jesus

Nagkadto si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod sa higad sang Dagat sang Galilea. Nagsunod sa ila ang madamo nga mga tawo nga halin sa Galilea kag sa Judea. Madamo man ang naghalin sa Jerusalem, sa Idumea, sa tabok sang Suba sang Jordan, kag sa palibot sang Tyre kag Sidon, kay nabatian nila ang iya ginpanghimo. Tungod sa kadamuon sang mga tawo ginsilingan niya ang iya mga sumulunod nga magpreparar sang sakayan para sa iya, agod nga kon magdinaguso sa iya ang mga tawo may masakyan siya. 10 Tungod nga madamo ang iya ginpang-ayo, ang tanan nga may masakit nagpanagil-ot agod makatandog sa iya. 11 Kag kon makita siya sang mga tawo nga may malaot nga mga espiritu, nagaluhod sila kag nagasinggit, “Ikaw ang Anak sang Dios!” 12 Pero ginpaandaman gid niya ang malaot nga mga espiritu nga indi magpanugid kon sin-o siya.

Ginpili ni Jesus ang Dose ka Apostoles(B)

13 Pagkatapos sadto, nagtaklad si Jesus sa bukid kag gintawag niya ang luyag niya nga pilion. Gani nagpalapit sila sa iya. 14 Dayon nagpili siya sang dose [nga iya man gintawag nga mga apostoles] agod mangin kaupod niya kag ipadala niya sa pagpangwali. 15 Ginhatagan niya sila sing gahom agod magtabog sang malaot nga mga espiritu. 16 [Amo ini ang dose nga iya ginpili:] si Simon (nga iya gin-ngalanan nga Pedro), 17 sila ni Santiago kag ni Juan nga mga anak ni Zebedee (gin-ngalanan sila nga Boanerges nga ang buot silingon, mga anak sang daguob), 18 si Andres, si Felipe, si Bartolome, si Mateo, si Tomas, si Santiago nga anak ni Alfeus, si Tadeus, si Simon (nga sang una rebelde sa gobyerno sang Roma), 19 kag si Judas Iscariote[b] nga amo ang nagtraidor kay Jesus.

Si Jesus kag si Satanas(C)

20 Dayon, nagpauli sila ni Jesus. Kag nagtilipon liwat ang mga tawo didto, gani si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod wala na sing tiyempo bisan magkaon. 21 Pagkabati sang iya pamilya parte sa mga ginahimo ni Jesus, nagkadto sila didto agod kuhaon siya, kay nagsiling ang mga tawo nga buang siya.

22 Ang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan nga nag-abot halin sa Jerusalem nagsiling, “Ginsudlan siya ni Satanas[c] nga pangulo sang malaot nga mga espiritu. Gani paagi sa gahom ni Satanas nagatabog siya sang malaot nga mga espiritu.” 23 Gintawag ni Jesus ang mga tawo nga magpalapit sa iya, kag naghambal siya sa ila paagi sa sini nga mga paanggid, “Indi mahimo nga si Satanas magtabog sang iya mga kaupod. 24 Kon ang mga pumuluyo sang isa ka ginharian magbinahin-bahin kag mag-ilinaway, ina nga ginharian indi makapadayon. 25 Amo man ang matabo sa isa ka panimalay kon ang mga nagaestar dira magbinahin-bahin kag mag-ilinaway. 26 Gani kon si Satanas kag ang iya mga sakop magbinahin-bahin kag mag-ilinaway, ang iya ginharian indi man makapadayon kundi malaglag ini.

27 “Ang matuod, wala sing tawo nga sarang makasulod sa balay sang makusog nga tawo sa pagkuha sang iya mga pagkabutang kon indi niya anay paggapuson inang makusog nga tawo. Pero kon magapos na niya, makapagusto na siya sa pagkuha sang mga pagkabutang sa sina nga balay.[d]

28 “Nagasiling pa gid ako sing matuod, nga ang tanan nga klase sang sala, bisan pa ang pagpasipala sa Dios mapatawad. 29 Pero ang bisan sin-o nga magpasipala sa Espiritu Santo indi gid mapatawad. Ini nga sala indi gid mapatawad hasta san-o.” 30 Ginhambal ini ni Jesus kay nagasiling ang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan nga may malaot siya kuno nga espiritu.

Ang Iloy kag ang mga Utod ni Jesus(D)

31 Dayon nag-abot ang iloy kag ang mga utod ni Jesus. Samtang nagatindog sila didto sa guwa sang balay ginpatawag nila siya. 32 Madamo nga mga tawo didto ang nagapungko sa palibot ni Jesus. Siling sang mga tawo sa iya, “Ang imo iloy kag mga utod ara sa guwa kag ginapatawag ka nila.” 33 Siling niya, “Nahibaluan bala ninyo kon sin-o ang akon iloy kag mga utod?” 34 Nagtulok siya sa mga tawo nga nagapungko sa palibot niya kag nagsiling, “Amo ini sila ang akon iloy kag mga utod! 35 Ang bisan sin-o nga nagahimo sang kabubut-on sang Dios amo ang akon iloy kag mga utod.”

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.”

Chapter 3

A Man with a Withered Hand. [a]Again he entered the synagogue.(A) There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched him closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here before us.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored.(B) [b]The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death.

The Mercy of Jesus. [c]Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples.(C) A large number of people [followed] from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him. 10 He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him.(D) 11 [d]And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.”(E) 12 He warned them sternly not to make him known.

The Mission of the Twelve. 13 (F)He went up the mountain[e] and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. 14 (G)He appointed twelve [whom he also named apostles] that they might be with him[f] and he might send them forth to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons: 16 [g][he appointed the twelve:] Simon, whom he named Peter; 17 James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder;(H) 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, 19 and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

Blasphemy of the Scribes. 20 [h]He came home.[i] Again [the] crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat.(I) 21 When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”(J) 22 The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,”[j] and “By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”(K)

Jesus and Beelzebul. 23 Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, “How can Satan drive 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 will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him. 27 But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. 28 Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them.(L) 29 But whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit[k] will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.” 30 For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus and His Family. 31 (M)His mother and his brothers arrived. Standing outside they sent word to him and called him. 32 A crowd seated around him told him, “Your mother and your brothers[l] [and your sisters] are outside asking for you.” 33 But he said to them in reply, “Who are my mother and [my] brothers?” 34 And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 35 [For] whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

Footnotes

  1. 3:1–5 Here Jesus is again depicted in conflict with his adversaries over the question of sabbath-day observance. His opponents were already ill disposed toward him because they regarded Jesus as a violator of the sabbath. Jesus’ question Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil? places the matter in the broader theological context outside the casuistry of the scribes. The answer is obvious. Jesus heals the man with the withered hand in the sight of all and reduces his opponents to silence; cf. Jn 5:17–18.
  2. 3:6 In reporting the plot of the Pharisees and Herodians to put Jesus to death after this series of conflicts in Galilee, Mark uses a pattern that recurs in his account of later controversies in Jerusalem (Mk 11:17–18; 12:13–17). The help of the Herodians, supporters of Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee and Perea, is needed to take action against Jesus. Both series of conflicts point to their gravity and to the impending passion of Jesus.
  3. 3:7–19 This overview of the Galilean ministry manifests the power of Jesus to draw people to himself through his teaching and deeds of power. The crowds of Jews from many regions surround Jesus (Mk 3:7–12). This phenomenon prepares the way for creating a new people of Israel. The choice and mission of the Twelve is the prelude (Mk 3:13–19).
  4. 3:11–12 See note on Mk 1:24–25.
  5. 3:13 He went up the mountain: here and elsewhere the mountain is associated with solemn moments and acts in the mission and self-revelation of Jesus (Mk 6:46; 9:2–8; 13:3). Jesus acts with authority as he summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him.
  6. 3:14–15 He appointed twelve [whom he also named apostles] that they might be with him: literally “he made,” i.e., instituted them as apostles to extend his messianic mission through them (Mk 6:7–13). See notes on Mt 10:1 and 10:2–4.
  7. 3:16 Simon, whom he named Peter: Mark indicates that Simon’s name was changed on this occasion. Peter is first in all lists of the apostles (Mt 10:2; Lk 6:14; Acts 1:13; cf. 1 Cor 15:5–8).
  8. 3:20–35 Within the narrative of the coming of Jesus’ relatives (Mk 3:20–21) is inserted the account of the unbelieving scribes from Jerusalem who attributed Jesus’ power over demons to Beelzebul (Mk 3:22–30); see note on Mk 5:21–43. There were those even among the relatives of Jesus who disbelieved and regarded Jesus as out of his mind (Mk 3:21). Against this background, Jesus is informed of the arrival of his mother and brothers [and sisters] (Mk 3:32). He responds by showing that not family ties but doing God’s will (Mk 3:35) is decisive in the kingdom; cf. note on Mt 12:46–50.
  9. 3:20 He came home: cf. Mk 2:1–2 and see note on Mk 2:15.
  10. 3:22 By Beelzebul: see note on Mt 10:25. Two accusations are leveled against Jesus: (1) that he is possessed by an unclean spirit and (2) by the prince of demons he drives out demons. Jesus answers the second charge by a parable (Mk 3:24–27) and responds to the first charge in Mk 3:28–29.
  11. 3:29 Whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit: this sin is called an everlasting sin because it attributes to Satan, who is the power of evil, what is actually the work of the holy Spirit, namely, victory over the demons.
  12. 3:32 Your brothers: see note on Mk 6:3.

El hombre de la mano atrofiada (Mt 12,9-14; Lc 6,6-11)

Jesús entró otra vez en la sinagoga. Había allí un hombre que tenía una mano atrofiada, y los que estaban buscando un motivo para acusar a Jesús se pusieron al acecho a ver si, a pesar de ser sábado, lo curaba. Jesús dijo al hombre de la mano atrofiada:

— Ponte ahí en medio.

Luego preguntó a los otros:

— ¿Qué es lo que se permite en sábado? ¿Hacer el bien o hacer el mal? ¿Salvar una vida o destruirla?

Ellos callaron. Al verlos tan obcecados, Jesús les echó una mirada, enojado y entristecido al mismo tiempo, y dijo al enfermo:

— Extiende la mano.

Él la extendió y la mano recuperó el movimiento. Los fariseos, por su parte, y los del partido de Herodes, se reunieron, al salir, para tramar el modo de matar a Jesús.

La gente acude a Jesús

Jesús se fue con sus discípulos a la orilla del lago y lo siguió una gran multitud de gente procedente de Galilea; y también de Judea, de Jerusalén, de Idumea, de la orilla oriental del Jordán y de la región de Tiro y Sidón acudió a Jesús mucha gente que había oído hablar de todo lo que hacía. Jesús mandó a sus discípulos que le preparasen una barca para que la multitud no lo aplastara. 10 Había curado a tantos, que todos los que tenían alguna enfermedad se echaban ahora sobre él para tocarlo. 11 Y hasta los espíritus impuros, al verlo, se arrojaban a sus pies, gritando:

— ¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!

12 Pero Jesús les ordenaba severamente que no lo descubrieran.

Elección de los doce apóstoles (Mt 10,1-4; Lc 6,12-16)

13 Después de esto, Jesús subió al monte y llamó a los que le pareció bien. Y se acercaron a él. 14 También designó a doce, a quienes constituyó apóstoles, para que estuvieran con él y para enviarlos a predicar 15 con poder para expulsar demonios.

16 Los doce designados fueron: Simón, al que puso por sobrenombre Pedro; 17 Santiago y su hermano Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, a quienes llamó Boanerges, que significa “hijos del trueno”; 18 Andrés, Felipe, Bartolomé, Mateo, Tomás, Santiago, hijo de Alfeo; Tadeo, Simón el cananeo 19 y Judas Iscariote, el que más tarde lo traicionó.

Los parientes de Jesús

20 Jesús llegó a casa y otra vez se juntó tanta gente, que ni siquiera les dejaban comer. 21 Cuando algunos de sus parientes se enteraron, vinieron con la intención de llevárselo a la fuerza, porque decían que estaba loco.

Jesús y Belzebú (Mt 12,22-30; Lc 11,14-23)

22 Los maestros de la ley llegados de Jerusalén decían que Jesús estaba poseído por Belzebú, el jefe de los demonios, con cuyo poder los expulsaba. 23 Entonces Jesús los llamó y los interpeló con estas comparaciones:

— ¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás? 24 Si una nación se divide contra sí misma, no puede subsistir. 25 Tampoco una familia que se divida contra sí misma puede subsistir. 26 Y si Satanás se hace la guerra y actúa contra sí mismo, tampoco podrá subsistir; habrá llegado a su fin. 27 Nadie puede entrar en casa de un hombre fuerte y robarle sus bienes si primero no ata a ese hombre fuerte. Solamente entonces podrá saquear su casa.

El pecado contra el Espíritu Santo (Mt 12,31-32; Lc 12,10)

28 Les aseguro que todo les será perdonado a los seres humanos: tanto los pecados como las blasfemias en que incurran. 29 Pero el que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo, nunca jamás será perdonado y será tenido para siempre por culpable.

30 Esto lo dijo Jesús contra quienes afirmaban que estaba poseído por un espíritu impuro.

La verdadera familia de Jesús (Mt 12,46-50; Lc 8,19-21)

31 Entre tanto, llegaron la madre y los hermanos de Jesús; pero se quedaron fuera y enviaron a llamarlo. 32 Alguien de entre la gente que estaba sentada alrededor de Jesús le pasó aviso:

— Tu madre y tus hermanos están ahí fuera y te buscan.

33 Jesús les contestó:

— ¿Quiénes son mi madre y mis hermanos?

34 Y, mirando a quienes estaban sentados a su alrededor, añadió:

— Estos son mi madre y mis hermanos. 35 Porque todo el que hace la voluntad de Dios, ese es mi hermano, y mi hermana, y mi madre.
