Marcos 3
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Jesús sana a un hombre en sábado
3 Jesús volvió a entrar en la sinagoga. Allí había un hombre que tenía una mano tullida.
2 Los fariseos estaban vigilando a Jesús para ver si sanaba a ese hombre en día sábado, y poder así acusarlo de trabajar en ese día de descanso.
3 Jesús le dijo al enfermo: «Levántate y ponte en medio de todos.»
4 Luego, les preguntó a los que estaban allí: «¿Qué es correcto hacer en sábado: el bien o el mal? ¿Salvar una vida o destruirla?»
Pero nadie le contestó. 5 Jesús miró con enojo a los que lo rodeaban y, al ver que eran muy tercos y no tenían amor, se puso muy triste. Entonces le dijo al enfermo: «Extiende la mano.»
El hombre extendió la mano, y la mano le quedó sana.
6 Los fariseos salieron de la sinagoga y enseguida se reunieron con los partidarios[a] del rey Herodes; y juntos comenzaron a hacer planes para matar a Jesús.
Jesús enseña y sana
7-8 Jesús se fue con sus discípulos a la orilla del lago. Los seguía mucha gente que había oído hablar de las cosas que él hacía. Era gente de las regiones de Galilea y de Judea, de la ciudad de Jerusalén y de Idumea. Algunos venían también del otro lado del río Jordán, y de los alrededores de las ciudades de Tiro y de Sidón.[b]
9 Como había tanta gente, Jesús les pidió a sus discípulos que prepararan una barca, para que la gente no lo apretujara. 10 Aunque Jesús había sanado a mucha gente, todavía quedaban muchos enfermos que lo rodeaban y que querían tocarlo para quedar sanos.
11 Cuando los espíritus malos veían a Jesús, caían al suelo y gritaban: «¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!»
12 Pero Jesús les advertía muy seriamente que no dijeran a la gente quién era él.
Jesús elige a doce apóstoles
13 Después, Jesús invitó a algunos de sus seguidores para que subieran con él a un cerro. Cuando ya todos estaban juntos, 14 eligió a doce de ellos para que lo acompañaran siempre y para enviarlos a anunciar las buenas noticias. A esos doce los llamó apóstoles 15 y les dio poder para expulsar de la gente a los demonios.
16 Éstos son los doce que eligió: Simón, a quien llamó Pedro; 17 Santiago y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, y a quienes llamó Boanerges, que quiere decir «hijos del trueno»; 18 Andrés, Felipe, Bartolomé, Mateo, Tomás, Santiago hijo de Alfeo, Tadeo, Simón el patriota[c] y 19 Judas Iscariote, que después traicionó a Jesús.
Jesús y el jefe de los demonios
20 Después de esto, Jesús regresó a la casa.[d] Y era tanta la gente que volvió a reunirse, que ni él ni sus discípulos podían siquiera comer. 21 Cuando los familiares de Jesús supieron lo que hacía, fueron para llevárselo, porque decían que se había vuelto loco.
22 Pero los maestros de la Ley que habían llegado de Jerusalén decían: «Este hombre tiene a Beelzebú, el jefe de los demonios. Sólo por el poder que Beelzebú le da, puede expulsarlos.»
23 Entonces Jesús los llamó y les puso este ejemplo:
«¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsarse a sí mismo? 24 Si los habitantes de un país se pelean entre sí, el país acaba por destruirse. 25 Si los miembros de una familia se pelean unos contra otros, la familia también acabará por destruirse. 26 Y si Satanás lucha contra sí mismo, acabará con su propio reino.
27 »Si alguien quiere robar todo lo que hay en la casa de un hombre fuerte, primero tiene que atar a ese hombre.
28 »Les aseguro que Dios le perdonará a la gente cualquier pecado que haga, y todo lo malo que diga; 29 pero jamás perdonará a quien hable en contra del Espíritu Santo. ¡Eso nunca le será perdonado!»
30 Jesús dijo esto porque los maestros de la Ley pensaban que él tenía un espíritu malo.
La madre y los hermanos de Jesús
31-32 Mientras tanto, la madre y los hermanos de Jesús llegaron a la casa donde él estaba, pero prefirieron quedarse afuera y mandarlo a llamar. La gente que estaba sentada alrededor de Jesús le dijo:
—Tu madre, tus hermanos y tus hermanas están allá afuera, y quieren hablar contigo.
33 Pero Jesús les preguntó:
—¿Quiénes son en verdad mi madre y mis hermanos?
34 Luego, miró a todos los que estaban sentados a su alrededor y dijo:
—¡Éstos son mi madre y mis hermanos! 35 Porque, en verdad, cualquiera que obedece a Dios es mi hermano, mi hermana y mi madre.

The Man with a Paralyzed Hand(A)
3 Then Jesus went back to the synagogue, where there was a man who had a paralyzed hand. 2 Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong; so they watched him closely to see whether he would cure the man on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man, “Come up here to the front.” 4 Then he asked the people, “What does our Law allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone's life or to destroy it?”
But they did not say a thing. 5 Jesus was angry as he looked around at them, but at the same time he felt sorry for them, because they were so stubborn and wrong. Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it became well again. 6 So the Pharisees left the synagogue and met at once with some members of Herod's party, and they made plans to kill Jesus.
A Crowd by the Lake
7 Jesus and his disciples went away to Lake Galilee, and a large crowd followed him. They had come from Galilee, from Judea, 8 from Jerusalem, from the territory of Idumea, from the territory on the east side of the Jordan, and from the region around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. All these people came to Jesus because they had heard of the things he was doing. 9 (B)The crowd was so large that Jesus told his disciples to get a boat ready for him, so that the people would not crush him. 10 He had healed many people, and all the sick kept pushing their way to him in order to touch him. 11 And whenever the people who had evil spirits in them saw him, they would fall down before him and scream, “You are the Son of God!”
12 Jesus sternly ordered the evil spirits not to tell anyone who he was.
Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles(C)
13 Then Jesus went up a hill and called to himself the men he wanted. They came to him, 14 and he chose twelve, whom he named apostles. “I have chosen you to be with me,” he told them. “I will also send you out to preach, 15 and you will have authority to drive out demons.”
16 These are the twelve he chose: Simon (Jesus gave him the name Peter); 17 James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee (Jesus gave them the name Boanerges, which means “Men of Thunder”); 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Patriot, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
Jesus and Beelzebul(D)
20 Then Jesus went home. Again such a large crowd gathered that Jesus and his disciples had no time to eat. 21 When his family heard about it, they set out to take charge of him, because people were saying, “He's gone mad!”
22 (E)Some teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem were saying, “He has Beelzebul in him! It is the chief of the demons who gives him the power to drive them out.”
23 So Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a country divides itself into groups which fight each other, that country will fall apart. 25 If a family divides itself into groups which fight each other, that family will fall apart. 26 So if Satan's kingdom divides into groups, it cannot last, but will fall apart and come to an end.
27 “No one can break into a strong man's house and take away his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house.
28 “I assure you that people can be forgiven all their sins and all the evil things they may say.[a] 29 (F)But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin.” (30 Jesus said this because some people were saying, “He has an evil spirit in him.”)
Jesus' Mother and Brothers(G)
31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside the house and sent in a message, asking for him. 32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus, and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, and they want you.”
33 Jesus answered, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 34 He looked at the people sitting around him and said, “Look! Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does what God wants is my brother, my sister, my mother.”

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.
