Mark 3
Complete Jewish Bible
3 Yeshua went again into a synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, people watched him carefully to see if he would heal him on Shabbat. 3 He said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come up where we can see you!” 4 Then to them he said, “What is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or killing?” But they said nothing. 5 Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” As he held it out, it became restored. 6 The P’rushim went out and immediately began plotting with some members of Herod’s party how to do away with him.
7 Yeshua went off with his talmidim to the lake, and great numbers followed him from the Galil. 8 When they heard what he was doing, great numbers also followed him from Y’hudah, Yerushalayim, Idumea, the territory beyond the Yarden, and the Tzor-Tzidon area. 9 He told his talmidim to have a boat ready for him, so that he could escape the crush of the crowd if necessary, 10 for he had healed many people, and all the sick kept pressing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, “You are the Son of God!” 12 But he warned them strictly not to make him known.
13 Then he went up into the hill country and summoned to himself those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve to be with him, to be sent out to preach 15 and to have authority to expel demons:
16 Shim‘on, to whom he gave another name, “Kefa”;
17 Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan, Ya‘akov’s brother — to them he gave the name “B’nei-Regesh” (that is, “Thunderers”);
18 Andrew, Philip, Bar-Talmai, Mattityahu, T’oma, Ya‘akov Ben-Halfai, Taddai, Shim‘on the Zealot,
19 and Y’hudah from K’riot, the one who betrayed him.
Then he entered a house; 20 and once more, such a crowd came together that they couldn’t even eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they set out to take charge of him; for they said, “He’s out of his mind!”
22 The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim said, “He has Ba‘al-Zibbul in him,” and “It is by the ruler of the demons that he expels the demons.” 23 But he called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan expel Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom can’t survive; 25 and if a household is divided against itself, that household can’t survive. 26 So if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he can’t survive either; and that’s the end of him. 27 Furthermore, no one can break into a strong man’s house and make off with his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. After that, he can ransack his house. 28 Yes! I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 however, someone who blasphemes against the Ruach HaKodesh never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin.” 30 For they had been saying, “He has an unclean spirit in him.”
31 Then his mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent a message asking for him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.” 33 He replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 Looking at those seated in a circle around him, he said, “See! Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does what God wants is my brother, sister and mother!”
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.”

馬 可 福 音 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣在安息日里为人治病
3 耶稣又来到了犹太会堂。那里有个人的手残废了。 2 一些犹太人想抓住把柄来控告耶稣，就密切地注视着他，看他是否为这个人治病。 3 耶稣对那个手残的人说∶“你站到大家面前来！”
4 接着他对众人说∶“在安息日，人应该做好事呢，还是应该做坏事？应该救人呢，还是应该杀人？”但是没人作声。
5 耶稣气愤地看着这些人们。他很为他们的顽固而忧伤，耶稣对残手人说∶“把手伸出来。”那人一伸手，手便被治好了。 6 法利赛人离开了，他们去和希律党人定计，想法杀掉耶稣。
众人跟随耶稣
7 耶稣和门徒们离开当地到加利利湖去。很多人跟随着他们，这些人来自加利利、犹太地、 8 耶路撒冷、以土买、约旦河对岸和推罗、西顿等地。这些人都是听说了耶稣所作所为来跟随他的。 9 因为人多，耶稣让门徒为他准备一条小船，以免受到拥挤。 10 耶稣为很多人治好了病，结果，凡是有病的人都拼命朝他身边挤，想要触摸他。 11 邪灵只要一见到耶稣，就匍匐在他面前，大叫道∶“你是上帝之子！” 12 耶稣厉声警告他们，不许他们告诉人们他是谁。
耶稣挑选他的十二名使徒
13 接着，耶稣登上了一座山，他召集他想要的那些人到他那里去，那些人来了。 14 耶稣挑选出十二个人，称他们为使徒 [a]。耶稣让他们与自己在一起，然后派他们出外传道， 15 而且都具有驱鬼的权力。 16 他挑选的十二个人是：西门（耶稣给他取名叫彼得）、 17 西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰（耶稣给他们取名叫半尼其，意为雷之子）、 18 安得烈、腓力、巴多罗买、马太、多马、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、达太和激进派的西门， 19 还有后来出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
耶稣的力量来自上帝
20 然后，耶稣回到家乡。很多人又聚集在那里，人多的使耶稣和他的门徒们都没法吃饭。 21 耶稣家人听说这些事，就出来管他，因为人们说耶稣疯了。
22 从耶路撒冷来的律法师们说∶“他被别西卜附体，他是依仗这个魔王的力量驱鬼的！”
23 耶稣把他们叫到一起，用寓言来教导人们，他说∶“撒旦不会从人们身上驱逐自己的鬼。 24 如果一个王国与自己做对，就不能继续； 25 家庭自相分争，就不能持续。 26 如果撒旦与自己和他的子民做对，他就要末日临头。 27 除非先把壮汉捆起来，谁也休想闯进他家里抢夺他的财产。 28 实话告诉你们：人所犯的一切罪行和冒犯上帝的话都可以得到宽恕， 29 但是亵渎圣灵的人是永远得不到宽恕的，他永远有罪。”
30 耶稣说这番话，是因为那些律法师们说他被邪灵附体。
门徒是真正的家人
31 这时耶稣的母亲和兄弟们来了。他们站在屋子外面，叫人进门去找耶稣。 32 有很多人正围坐在耶稣身边，他们当中有人对耶稣说∶“快瞧，你的妈妈和兄弟姐妹在外边等你呢。”
33 耶稣答道∶“谁是我的母亲和兄弟？” 34 他环顾坐在屋里的人，说∶“我的母亲和兄弟就坐在我身边呢！ 35 谁执行上帝的旨意，谁就是我的母亲和兄弟姐妹。”
