Mark 3:1-19

English Standard Version

A Man with a Withered Hand

3 ^(A)Again ^(B)he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. ²And ^(C)they watched Jesus,^[a] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. ³And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” ⁴And he said to them, ^(D)“Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. ⁵And he ^(E)looked around at them with anger, grieved at ^(F)their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” ^(G)He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ⁶^(H)The Pharisees went out and immediately ^(I)held counsel with ^(J)the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

⁷^(K)Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and ^(L)a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea ⁸and Jerusalem and ^(M)Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around ^(N)Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. ⁹And he told his disciples to ^(O)have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they ^(P)crush him, ¹⁰for ^(Q)he had healed many, so that all who had ^(R)diseases pressed around him ^(S)to touch him. ¹¹^(T)And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they ^(U)fell down before him and cried out, “You are ^(V)the Son of God.” ¹²And ^(W)he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

The Twelve Apostles

¹³^(X)And he went up on the mountain and called to him those ^(Y)whom he desired, and they came to him. ¹⁴^(Z)And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach ¹⁵^(AA)and have authority to cast out demons. ¹⁶He appointed the twelve: ^(AB)Simon (to whom ^(AC)he gave the name Peter); ¹⁷^(AD)James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); ¹⁸Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and ^(AE)Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,^[b] ¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

6 ^(A)On a Sabbath,^[a] while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples ^(B)plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. ²But some of the Pharisees said, ^(C)“Why are you doing ^(D)what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” ³And Jesus answered them, ^(E)“Have you not read ^(F)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: ⁴how he entered the house of God and took and ate ^(G)the bread of the Presence, ^(H)which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” ⁵And he said to them, ^(I)“The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

A Man with a Withered Hand

⁶On another Sabbath, ^(J)he entered the synagogue ^(K)and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. ⁷And the scribes and the Pharisees ^(L)watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, ^(M)so that they might find a reason to accuse him. ⁸But ^(N)he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. ⁹And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, ^(O)is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” ¹⁰And ^(P)after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And ^(Q)he did so, and his hand was restored. ¹¹But they were filled with ^(R)fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles

¹²In these days ^(S)he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. ¹³And when day came, ^(T)he called his disciples ^(U)and ^(V)chose from them twelve, whom he named ^(W)apostles: ¹⁴Simon, ^(X)whom he named Peter, and ^(Y)Andrew his brother, and ^(Z)James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, ¹⁵and ^(AA)Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called ^(AB)the Zealot, ¹⁶and ^(AC)Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
