Mark 3

Wycliffe Bible

3 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man having a dry hand.

² And they espied him, if he healed in the sabbaths, to accuse him. [And they espied him, if he healed in the sabbaths, that they should accuse him.]

³ And he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise into the middle. [And he saith to the man having a dry hand, Rise thou into the midst.]

⁴ And he saith to them, Is it leaveful to do well in the sabbaths, either evil [or evil]? to make a soul safe, either to destroy [or to lose]? And they were still.

⁵ And he beheld them about with wrath, and had sorrow on the blindness of their heart [having sorrow upon the blindness of their heart], and saith to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held forth, and his hand was restored to him.

⁶ Soothly [the] Pharisees went out at once [anon], and made a counsel with Herodians against him, how they should destroy him [how they should lose him].

⁷ But Jesus with his disciples went to the sea; and much people from Galilee [and much company from Galilee] and from Judaea followed him,

⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan, and they that were about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things that he did, came to him.

⁹ And Jesus said to his disciples, that the [little] boat should serve to him, for the people, lest they thrust him [that the little boat should serve him, for the company of people, lest they oppressed him];

¹⁰ for he healed many, so that they felled fast to him, to touch him. And how many ever had sicknesses [Forsooth how many ever had sores, or wounds],

¹¹ and unclean spirits, when they saw him, felled down to him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

¹² And greatly he menaced them, that they should not make him known.

¹³ And he went into an hill [And he ascending to an hill], and called to him whom he would; and they came to him.

¹⁴ And he made, that there were twelve with him, to send them to preach. [And he made, that twelve were with him, and that he should send them for to preach.]

¹⁵ And he gave to them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out fiends.

¹⁶ And to Simon he gave a name, Peter,

¹⁷ and he called James of Zebedee and John [and James of Zebedee and John], the brother of James, and he gave to them names Boanerges, that is, the sons of thundering [that is, the sons of thunder].

¹⁸ And he called Andrew and Philip [And Andrew and Philip], and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James [of] Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon Canaanite,

¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, that betrayed him. And they came to an house,

²⁰ and the people [and the company of people] came together again, so that they might not [neither] eat bread.

²¹ And when his kinsmen had heard, they went out to hold him; for they said, That he is turned into madness.

²² And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem, said, That he hath Beelzebub, and that in the prince of devils he casteth out fiends.

²³ And he called them together, and he said to them in parables, How may Satan cast out Satan?

²⁴ And if a realm be parted against itself, that realm may not stand.

²⁵ And if an house be parted against itself, that house may not stand.

²⁶ And if Satan hath risen against himself, he is parted, and he shall not be able to stand, but hath an end.

²⁷ No man may go into a strong man's house, and take away his vessels, but he bind first the strong man, and then he shall spoil his house.

²⁸ Truly I say to you, that all sins and blasphemies, by which they have blasphemed, shall be forgiven to the sons of men.

²⁹ But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost [Soothly he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost], hath not remission into without end, but he shall be guilty of everlasting trespass.

³⁰ For they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

³¹ And his mother and his brethren came, and stood withoutforth, and sent to him, and called him. [And his mother and brethren come, and standing withoutforth, sent to him, calling him.]

³² And the people sat about him [And the company sat about him]; and they said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren withoutforth seek thee.

³³ And he answered to them, and said, Who is my mother and my brethren?

³⁴ And he beheld them that sat about him, and said, Lo! my mother and my brethren.

³⁵ For who that doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
