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.”

Modern English Version
The Man With a Withered Hand(A)
3 Again, He entered the synagogue, and there was a man who had a withered hand. 2 They watched Him to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3 He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up.”
4 Then He said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.
5 When He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch your hand forward.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to kill Him.
The Crowd at the Seaside
7 Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed Him from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And those from Tyre and Sidon, a great crowd, when they heard what great things He did, came to Him. 9 He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they should crush Him. 10 For He had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed on Him to touch Him. 11 When unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him, crying out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 But He sternly ordered them not to make Him known.
The Choosing of the Twelve Apostles(B)
13 He went up into the mountain and called to Him those whom He desired, and they came to Him. 14 He ordained twelve to be with Him, and to be sent out to preach, 15 and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16 Simon, whom He named Peter; 17 James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, whom he surnamed Boanerges (meaning Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus; and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
Jesus and Beelzebub(C)
20 Then they entered a house, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat bread. 21 When His family heard of it, they went out to seize Him, for they said, “He is beside Himself.”
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”
23 So He called them to Him 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 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan rises up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then he will plunder his house. 28 Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they speak. 29 But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal condemnation.”
30 For they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
The Mother and Brothers of Jesus(D)
31 Then His mother and His brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him. 32 The crowd sat around Him and said to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You.”
33 He answered, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34 Then He looked around at those who sat around Him and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother, and My sister, and My mother.”
Marcos 3
Reina Valera Contemporánea
El hombre de la mano atrofiada(A)
3 Jesús volvió a visitar la sinagoga, y allí se encontró con un hombre que tenía una mano atrofiada. 2 Algunos lo vigilaban, para ver si sanaba al hombre en el día de reposo y así poder acusarlo. 3 Jesús le dijo al hombre con la mano atrofiada: «Levántate, y ponte en medio.» 4 A los demás les preguntó: «¿Qué está permitido hacer en los días de reposo? ¿El bien, o el mal? ¿Salvar una vida, o quitar la vida?» Ellos guardaron silencio. 5 Jesús los miró con enojo y tristeza, al ver la dureza de sus corazones. Entonces dijo al hombre: «Extiende la mano.» El hombre la extendió, y su mano quedó sana. 6 Tan pronto como los fariseos salieron, empezaron a conspirar con los herodianos para matar a Jesús.
La multitud a la orilla del lago
7 Jesús se retiró al lago con sus discípulos, y mucha gente de Galilea y de Judea lo siguió 8 al enterarse de todo lo que hacía. También acudieron a él muchos de Jerusalén, de Idumea y del otro lado del Jordán, así como de los alrededores de Tiro y de Sidón. 9 Por causa del gentío, y para evitar que lo apretujaran, Jesús pidió a sus discípulos tener siempre lista una barca; 10 y es que, como había sanado a muchos, todos los que tenían plagas querían tocarlo y se lanzaban sobre él.(B) 11 Cuando los espíritus impuros lo veían, se arrodillaban delante de él y a gritos le decían: «¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!» 12 Pero él les exigía con toda firmeza que no revelaran quién era él.
Elección de los doce apóstoles(C)
13 Después Jesús subió a un monte y llamó a los que él quiso, y ellos se reunieron con él. 14 A doce de ellos los designó para que estuvieran con él, para enviarlos a predicar, 15 y para que tuvieran el poder de expulsar demonios. 16 Estos doce eran: Simón, a quien puso por nombre «Pedro»; 17 Jacobo y su hermano Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, a quienes les puso por nombre «Boanerges», que significa «Hijos del trueno»; 18 Andrés, Felipe, Bartolomé, Mateo, Tomás, Jacobo hijo de Alfeo, Tadeo, Simón el cananista, 19 y Judas Iscariote, que fue quien lo traicionó.
La blasfemia contra el Espíritu Santo(D)
20 Jesús entró en una casa, y de nuevo se juntó tanta gente, que ni siquiera podían comer él y sus discípulos. 21 Cuando sus familiares lo supieron, fueron para llevárselo, porque pensaban que estaba fuera de sí. 22 Pero los escribas que habían venido de Jerusalén decían: «A éste lo domina Beelzebú. Y expulsa a los demonios por el poder del príncipe de los demonios.»(E) 23 Entonces Jesús los llamó, y en parábolas les dijo: «¿Y cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás? 24 Si un reino se divide contra sí mismo, no puede permanecer. 25 Si una casa se divide contra sí misma, tampoco puede permanecer. 26 Y si Satanás se subleva contra sí mismo, y se divide, tampoco puede permanecer. Su fin habrá llegado. 27 Nadie puede entrar en la casa de un hombre fuerte y robarle sus pertenencias, si antes no lo ata. Entonces sí podrá saquear su casa.
28 »De cierto les digo que a todos ustedes se les perdonará todo pecado y toda blasfemia, 29 pero el que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo jamás será perdonado,(F) sino que será culpable de un pecado eterno.» 30 Y es que ellos habían dicho: «Éste tiene un espíritu impuro.»
La madre y los hermanos de Jesús(G)
31 Llegaron entonces la madre y los hermanos de Jesús, pero se quedaron afuera y mandaron a llamarlo. 32 La muchedumbre sentada a su alrededor le dijo: «Tu madre, tus hermanos y tus hermanas están allí afuera, y te buscan.» 33 Jesús les respondió: «¿Y quién es mi madre, y mis hermanos?» 34 Miró entonces a los que estaban sentados a su alrededor, y dijo: «Mi madre y mis hermanos están aquí. 35 Porque todo el que hace la voluntad de Dios es mi hermano, y mi hermana, y mi madre.»
