Mark 3
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
3 Jesus(A) entered the synagogue(B) again, and a man was there who had a shrivelled(C) hand. 2 In order to accuse(D) him, they were watching him closely(E) to see whether he would heal(F) him on the Sabbath.(G) 3 He told the man with the shrivelled hand, ‘Stand before us.’ 4 Then he said to them, ‘Is it lawful(H) to do good(I) on the Sabbath or to do evil,(J) to save life(K) or to kill? ’(L) But they were silent.(M) 5 After looking round at them with anger,(N) he was grieved at the hardness(O) of their hearts and told the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.(P) 6 Immediately the Pharisees(Q) went out and started plotting(R) with the Herodians(S) against him, how they might kill(T) him.
Ministering to the Multitude
7 Jesus(U) departed with his disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee,(V) and a large crowd followed from Judea,(W) 8 Jerusalem,(X) Idumea, beyond the Jordan,(Y) and around Tyre(Z) and Sidon.(AA) The large crowd came to him because they heard about everything he was doing. 9 Then he told his disciples to have a small boat(AB) ready for him, so that the crowd wouldn’t crush him. 10 Since he had healed(AC) many, all who had diseases were pressing towards him to touch(AD) him. 11 Whenever the unclean(AE) spirits(AF) saw him, they fell down(AG) before him and cried out, ‘You are the Son of God! ’(AH) 12 And he would strongly warn(AI) them not to make him known.(AJ)
The Twelve Apostles
13 Jesus(AK) went up the mountain(AL) and summoned those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve, whom he also named apostles,[a](AM) to be with him, to send them out to preach,(AN) 15 and to have authority to[b] drive out demons. 16 He appointed the Twelve:[c](AO) To Simon,(AP) he gave the name Peter;(AQ) 17 and to James(AR) the son of Zebedee,(AS) and to his brother John,(AT) he gave the name ‘Boanerges’ (that is, ‘Sons of Thunder’(AU)); 18 Andrew;(AV) Philip(AW) and Bartholomew; Matthew(AX) and Thomas;(AY) James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, 19 and Judas Iscariot,(AZ) who also betrayed him.
A House Divided
20 Jesus entered a house, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat.[d] 21 When his family(BA) heard this, they set out to restrain him, because they said, ‘He’s out of his mind.’(BB)
22 The scribes(BC) who had come down from Jerusalem said, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul,’(BD) and, ‘He drives out(BE) demons(BF) by the ruler(BG) of the demons.’(BH)
23 So he summoned(BI) them and spoke to them in parables:(BJ) ‘How can Satan(BK) drive out Satan?(BL) 24 If a kingdom(BM) is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished. 27 But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his possessions unless he first ties up(BN) the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28 ‘Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies(BO) they utter. 29 But whoever blasphemes(BP) against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,(BQ) but is guilty(BR) of an eternal sin’[e](BS) – 30 because they were saying, ‘He has an unclean spirit.’(BT)
True Relationships
31 His(BU) mother(BV) and his brothers(BW) came, and standing outside, they sent word to him and called him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him and told him, ‘Look, your mother, your brothers,(BX) and your sisters[f] are outside asking for you.’
33 He replied to them, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers? ’ 34 Looking at those sitting in a circle around him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers!(BY) 35 Whoever does the will of God(BZ) is my brother and 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.”

Marc 3
Segond 21
3 Jésus entra de nouveau dans la synagogue. Il s'y trouvait un homme qui avait la main paralysée. 2 Ils observaient Jésus pour voir s'il le guérirait le jour du sabbat: c'était afin de pouvoir l'accuser. 3 Jésus dit à l'homme qui avait la main paralysée: «Lève-toi, là au milieu.» 4 Puis il leur dit: «Est-il permis, le jour du sabbat, de faire du bien ou de faire du mal, de sauver une personne ou de la tuer?» Mais ils gardèrent le silence. 5 Alors il promena sur eux un regard de colère et, peiné de l'endurcissement de leur cœur, il dit à l'homme: «Tends ta main.» Il la tendit, et sa main fut guérie.
6 Les pharisiens sortirent et tinrent aussitôt conseil avec les hérodiens[a] sur les moyens de le faire mourir.
7 Jésus se retira au bord du lac avec ses disciples. Une foule nombreuse le suivit, venue de la Galilée, de la Judée, 8 de Jérusalem, de l'Idumée, de l’autre côté du Jourdain et des environs de Tyr et de Sidon; cette foule vint à lui car elle avait appris tout ce qu’il faisait. 9 Il dit à ses disciples de tenir toujours à sa disposition une petite barque afin de ne pas être écrasé par la foule. 10 En effet, comme il guérissait beaucoup de gens, tous ceux qui avaient des maladies se jetaient sur lui pour le toucher. 11 Les esprits impurs, quand ils le voyaient, se prosternaient devant lui et s'écriaient: «Tu es le Fils de Dieu.» 12 Mais il leur recommandait très sévèrement de ne pas le faire connaître.
Choix des douze apôtres
13 Il monta ensuite sur la montagne; il appela ceux qu'il voulait, et ils vinrent vers lui. 14 Il en établit douze [auxquels il donna le nom d’apôtres,] pour qu’ils soient avec lui, et pour les envoyer prêcher 15 avec le pouvoir [de guérir les maladies et] de chasser les démons. 16 [Voici les douze qu'il établit:] Simon, qu'il appela Pierre; 17 Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean, frère de Jacques, auxquels il donna le nom de Boanergès, qui signifie «fils du tonnerre»; 18 André; Philippe; Barthélémy; Matthieu; Thomas; Jacques, fils d'Alphée; Thaddée; Simon le Cananite[b]; 19 et Judas l’Iscariot[c], celui qui trahit Jésus.
Jésus contesté
20 Ils se rendirent à la maison, et la foule se rassembla de nouveau, de sorte qu'ils ne pouvaient même pas prendre leur repas. 21 Lorsqu'ils l’apprirent, les membres de la famille de Jésus vinrent pour s’emparer de lui, car ils disaient: «Il a perdu la raison.»
22 Les spécialistes de la loi qui étaient descendus de Jérusalem disaient: «Il a en lui Béelzébul[d]; c'est par le prince des démons qu'il chasse les démons.» 23 Jésus les appela et leur dit sous forme de paraboles[e]: «Comment Satan peut-il chasser Satan? 24 Si un royaume est confronté à des luttes internes, ce royaume ne peut pas subsister, 25 et si une famille est confrontée à des luttes internes, cette famille ne peut pas subsister. 26 Si donc Satan se dresse contre lui-même, s’il est divisé, il ne peut pas subsister, c'en est fini de lui. 27 Personne ne peut entrer dans la maison d'un homme fort et piller ses biens sans avoir d'abord attaché cet homme fort; alors seulement il pillera sa maison. 28 Je vous le dis en vérité, tous les péchés seront pardonnés aux hommes, ainsi que les blasphèmes qu'ils auront proférés, 29 mais celui qui blasphémera contre le Saint-Esprit n'obtiendra jamais de pardon: il mérite une condamnation éternelle.» 30 Jésus parla de cette manière parce qu'ils disaient: «Il a un esprit impur.»
31 Sa mère et ses frères arrivèrent donc. Ils se tenaient dehors et l'envoyèrent appeler. 32 La foule était assise autour de lui, et on lui dit: «Voici, ta mère et tes frères [et sœurs] sont dehors et te cherchent.» 33 Il répondit: «Qui est ma mère, et qui sont mes frères?» 34 Puis il promena le regard sur ceux qui étaient assis tout autour de lui et dit: «Voici ma mère et mes frères. 35 En effet, celui qui fait la volonté de Dieu, celui-là est mon frère, ma sœur, ma mère.»

Mark 3
New International Version
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue,(A) and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(B) to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.(C) 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”
4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(D) how they might kill Jesus.(E)
Crowds Follow Jesus(F)
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.(G) 8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.(H) 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,(I) so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.(J) 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”(K) 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.(L)
Jesus Appoints the Twelve(M)
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.(N) 14 He appointed twelve[a](O) that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.(P) 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),(Q) 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law(R)(S)
20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered,(T) so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.(U) 21 When his family[b] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”(V)
22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem(W) said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!(X) By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”(Y)
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:(Z) “How can Satan(AA) drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.(AB) 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”(AC)
30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.(AD) Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
