Jesus helbreder en mand på sabbatten(A)

Jesus og disciplene gik ind i en synagoge, og dér var der en mand med en forkrøblet hånd. Farisæerne holdt øje med Jesus for at se, om han ville helbrede manden på en sabbat, for så havde de noget at anklage ham for.

Jesus sagde nu til manden med den forkrøblede hånd: „Rejs dig op og stå her i midten.” Derefter spurgte han forsamlingen: „Hvad siger Guds lov? Skal hviledagen bruges til noget godt eller til noget ondt, til at redde liv eller til at ødelægge liv?” Men ingen svarede. Jesus så rundt på forsamlingen, vred og bedrøvet over deres stenhårde hjerter. Så sagde han til manden: „Ræk hånden frem!” Det gjorde han—og straks blev hånden rask.

Farisæerne rejste sig øjeblikkeligt og forlod synagogen. Kort efter mødtes de med herodianerne for at drøfte, hvordan de kunne få skaffet Jesus af vejen.

Masser af mennesker flokkes om Jesus

Jesus og hans disciple gik nu ned mod søen, og en masse mennesker fulgte efter dem. De fleste kom fra Galilæa, men mange kom helt fra Judæa, Jerusalem, Idumæa og fra landet på den anden side af Jordanfloden—ja, endog helt fra Tyrus og Sidon. De store undere, Jesus gjorde, rygtedes vidt omkring, og folk kom strømmende for at se, hvad der foregik. Jesus gav sine disciple besked på at holde en båd klar, så han kunne gå om bord i den, hvis han blev for voldsomt trængt af folkeskaren på bredden. 10 For han helbredte så mange mennesker, at de syge pressede på fra alle sider for at røre ved ham. 11 Når de, som var plaget af dæmoner, så ham, faldt de på knæ foran ham og skreg: „Du er Guds Søn!” 12 Men Jesus forbød dem strengt at røbe, hvem han var.

Jesus udvælger de 12 apostle(B)

13 En dag gik Jesus op på en bakketop for at bede. Deredter kaldte han på de disciple, som han ønskede, og de kom til ham. 14 På den måde gjorde han 12 af sine disciple til apostle. De skulle stå i lære hos ham, så han senere kunne sende dem ud med fuldmagt til at forkynde det glædelige budskab 15 og til at uddrive onde ånder. 16 Her er navnene på de 12: Simon, som Jesus senere gav navnet Peter; 17 Jakob og Johannes, der var sønner af Zebedæus (de blev kaldt „Tordensønnerne”); 18 Andreas; Filip; Bartolomæus; Mattæus; Thomas; Jakob, søn af Alfæus; Taddæus; Simon Frihedskæmper[a] 19 og Judas Iskariot, der senere forrådte Jesus.

Jesus under falsk anklage(C)

20 Når Jesus og hans disciple gik hjem, fulgte der ofte så mange mennesker med ind i huset, at de ikke engang kunne komme til at spise. 21 Da hans familie hørte om det, tog de af sted for at få fat i ham, for de mente, at han var gået fra forstanden.

22 Nogle skriftlærde, der var kommet helt fra Jerusalem, gik rundt og sagde: „Jesus står i ledtog med Satan,[b] de onde ånders fyrste. Det er derfor, han kan uddrive de onde ånder!”

23 Jesus kaldte dem til sig og talte til dem i billeder: 24 „Hvordan kan Satan uddrive sine egne onde ånder?” spurgte han. „Et land, som ligger i krig med sig selv, kan ikke bestå, 25 og et hjem, der er i splid med sig selv, går snart i opløsning. 26 Hvis Satan nu er begyndt at kæmpe mod sine egne, så er han kommet i krig med sig selv, og det er ude med ham.

27 Man kan ikke bare bryde ind i en stærk mands hus og tage, hvad han har. Man må først binde ham. Derefter kan man tage, hvad han har i sit hus.

28 Det siger jeg jer: Mennesker kan få tilgivelse for al deres synd og al deres gudsbespottelse, 29 men hvis de håner Helligånden, så er der ingen tilgivelse længere. Det er en synd med evige konsekvenser.” 30 Det sagde Jesus til dem, fordi de påstod, at det var ved Satans kraft og ikke ved Helligåndens kraft, han uddrev de onde ånder.

De, der gør Guds vilje, hører Jesus til(D)

31-32 Nu kom så Jesu mor og brødre til det overfyldte hus, hvor han underviste. De sendte bud ind til ham og bad ham komme udenfor. „Din mor og dine brødre står udenfor og vil tale med dig,” sagde de, der sad nærmest ved ham. 33 „Hvem er i virkeligheden min mor og mine brødre?” spurgte Jesus og lod blikket glide rundt på den forsamling, der sad omkring ham: 34 „Min mor og mine brødre sidder her! 35 For den, der gør Guds vilje, er min bror eller søster eller mor.”

  1. 3,18 Denne Simon kaldes også Kananæeren fra et aramæisk ord, der betyder „den kampivrige, den revolutionære”. Han kaldes også Zelot efter det tilsvarende græske ord.
  2. 3,22 Der bruges her et gammeltestamentligt udtryk for Satan: „Beelzebul” eller „Beelzebub”, som muligvis går tilbage til filistrenes gud Ba’al-Zebub—fluernes herre, nævnt i 2.Kong. 1.

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.”
