Again Jesus went into a synagogue, and a man was there who had one withered hand [[a]as the result of accident or disease].

And [the Pharisees] kept watching Jesus [closely] to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they might get a charge to bring against Him [[b]formally].

And He said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up [and stand here] in the midst.

And He said to them, Is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to take it? But they kept silence.

And He glanced around at them with vexation and anger, grieved at the hardening of their hearts, and said to the man, Hold out your hand. He held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.

Then the Pharisees went out and immediately held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, how they might [devise some means to] put Him to death.

And Jesus retired with His disciples to the lake, and a great throng from Galilee followed Him. Also from Judea

And from Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon—a vast multitude, hearing all the many things that He was doing, came to Him.

And He told His disciples to have a little boat in [constant] readiness for Him because of the crowd, lest they press hard upon Him and crush Him.

10 For He had healed so many that all who had distressing bodily diseases kept falling upon Him and pressing upon Him in order that they might touch Him.

11 And the spirits, the unclean ones, [c]as often as they might see Him, fell down before Him and kept screaming out, You are the Son of God!

12 And He charged them strictly and severely under penalty again and again that they should not make Him known.

13 And He went up on the hillside and called to Him [[d]for Himself] those whom He wanted and chose, and they came to Him.

14 And He appointed twelve to [e]continue to be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach [as apostles or special messengers]

15 And to have authority and power to heal the sick and to drive out demons:

16 [They were] Simon, and He surnamed [him] Peter;

17 James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;

18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes],

19 And Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed Him.

20 Then He went to a house [probably Peter’s], but a throng came together again, so that Jesus and His disciples could not even take food.

21 And when those [f]who belonged to Him ([g]His kinsmen) heard it, they went out to take Him by force, for they kept saying, He is out of [h]His mind (beside Himself, deranged)!

22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by Beelzebub, and, By [the help of] the prince of demons He is casting out demons.

23 And He summoned them to Him and said to them in parables (illustrations or comparisons put beside truths to explain them), How can Satan drive out Satan?

24 And if a kingdom is divided and rebelling against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last.

26 And if Satan has raised an insurrection against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is [surely] coming to an end.

27 But no one can go into a strong man’s house and ransack his household goods right and left and seize them as plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may [thoroughly] plunder his house.(A)

28 Truly and solemnly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever abusive and blasphemous things they utter;

29 But whoever speaks abusively against or maliciously misrepresents the Holy Spirit can never get forgiveness, but is guilty of and is in the grasp of [i]an everlasting trespass.

30 For they [j]persisted in saying, [k]He has an unclean spirit.

31 Then His mother and His brothers came and, standing outside, they sent word to Him, calling [for] Him.

32 And a crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, Your mother and Your brothers and Your sisters are outside asking for You.

33 And He replied, Who are My mother and My brothers?

34 And looking around on those who sat in a circle about Him, He said, See! Here are My mother and My brothers;

35 For whoever does the things God wills is My brother and sister and mother!

Jesús sana al hombre de la mano seca

(A)Otra vez entró Jesús en una sinagoga(B); y había allí un hombre que tenía una mano seca[a]. Y lo observaban(C) para ver si lo sanaba en el día de reposo, para poder acusar a Jesús(D). Y Jesús le dijo* al hombre que tenía la mano seca: «Levántate y ponte aquí en medio».

Entonces Jesús dijo* a los otros: «¿Es lícito en el día de reposo hacer bien o hacer mal, salvar una vida o matar?». Pero ellos guardaban silencio. Y mirando con enojo a los que lo rodeaban, y entristecido por la dureza de sus corazones, le dijo* al hombre: «Extiende tu mano». Y él la extendió, y su mano quedó sana[b](E). Pero cuando los fariseos salieron, enseguida comenzaron a tramar[c] con los herodianos(F) en contra de Jesús, para ver cómo lo podrían destruir.

Las multitudes siguen a Jesús

(G)Entonces Jesús se retiró al mar con Sus discípulos, y una gran multitud de Galilea lo siguió. Y también de Judea(H), de Jerusalén, de Idumea(I), del otro lado del Jordán, y de los alrededores de Tiro y Sidón(J), una gran multitud, que al oír todo lo que Jesús hacía, vino a Él.

Y dijo a Sus discípulos que tuvieran lista una barca para Él por causa de la multitud(K), para que no lo oprimieran; 10 porque Él había sanado a muchos(L), de manera que todos los que tenían aflicciones(M), para tocar a Jesús, se echaban sobre Él(N). 11 Y siempre que los espíritus inmundos veían a Jesús, caían delante de Él y gritaban: «Tú eres el Hijo de Dios(O)». 12 Pero Él les advertía con insistencia que no revelaran Su identidad[d](P).

Designación de los doce apóstoles

13 Después Jesús subió* al monte(Q), llamó*(R) a los que Él quiso, y ellos vinieron a Él. 14 Designó a doce[e], para que estuvieran con Él y para enviarlos a predicar, 15 y para que tuvieran autoridad de expulsar demonios.

16 Designó, pues, a los doce: (S)Simón (a quien puso por nombre Pedro), 17 Jacobo[f], hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo (a quienes puso por nombre Boanerges, que significa: «Hijos del Trueno»); 18 Andrés, Felipe, Bartolomé, Mateo, Tomás, Jacobo[g], hijo de Alfeo, Tadeo, Simón el cananita[h]; 19 y Judas Iscariote, el que también lo entregó.

Jesús y Beelzebú

20 Jesús llegó* a una casa(T), y la multitud se juntó* de nuevo(U), a tal punto que ellos ni siquiera podían comer[i](V). 21 Cuando Sus parientes(W) oyeron esto, fueron para hacerse cargo de Él, porque decían: «Está fuera de Sí(X)».

22 Y los escribas que habían descendido de Jerusalén(Y) decían: «Tiene a Beelzebú(Z); y expulsa los demonios por medio del príncipe de los demonios(AA)». 23 (AB)Llamándolos junto a Él, Jesús les hablaba en parábolas(AC): «¿Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás(AD)? 24 Si un reino está dividido contra sí mismo, ese reino no puede perdurar. 25 Si una casa está dividida contra sí misma, esa casa no podrá permanecer. 26 Y si Satanás(AE)se ha levantado contra sí mismo y está dividido, no puede permanecer, sino que ha llegado su fin[j].

27 »Pero nadie puede entrar en la casa de un hombre fuerte y saquear sus bienes si primero no lo ata[k] ; entonces podrá saquear su casa(AF) . 28 En verdad les digo que todos los pecados serán perdonados a los hijos de los hombres(AG), y las blasfemias con que blasfemen, 29 pero cualquiera que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo no tiene jamás perdón(AH), sino que es culpable de pecado eterno». 30 Porque decían: «Tiene un espíritu inmundo».

La madre y los hermanos de Jesús

31 (AI)Entonces llegaron* Su madre y Sus hermanos, y quedándose afuera, mandaron a llamar a Jesús. 32 Y había una multitud sentada alrededor de Él, y le dijeron*: «Tu madre y Tus hermanos[l] están afuera y te buscan». 33 «¿Quiénes son Mi madre y Mis hermanos?», les dijo* Jesús.

34 Y mirando a los que estaban sentados en círculo alrededor de Él, dijo*: «Aquí están Mi madre y Mis hermanos(AJ). 35 Porque cualquiera que hace la voluntad de Dios(AK), ese es Mi hermano, y hermana y madre».

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

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.

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.

And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

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.

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.

Healing on the Sabbath(A)

And (B)He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. So they (C)watched Him closely, whether He would (D)heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might [a]accuse Him. And He said to the man who had the withered hand, [b]“Step forward.” 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. 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. (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)

But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, (I)and from Judea 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. 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.”
