Jesus(A) entered the synagogue(B) again, and a man was there who had a shrivelled(C) hand. In order to accuse(D) him, they were watching him closely(E) to see whether he would heal(F) him on the Sabbath.(G) He told the man with the shrivelled hand, ‘Stand before us.’ 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) 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) 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

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) 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. 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.’

Jezus geneest een man op de heilige rustdag

Jezus ging weer naar de synagoge. Daar was een man met een verlamde hand. De Farizeeërs letten op Jezus, of Hij hem op de heilige rustdag zou genezen. Want dan zouden ze Hem ervan kunnen beschuldigen dat Hij iets deed wat niet mag. Jezus zei tegen de man met de verlamde hand: "Kom eens hier in het midden staan." Toen zei Hij tegen de Farizeeërs: "Mag je op de heilige rustdag goed doen, of kwaad doen? Mag je op de heilige rustdag een mens redden, of hem doden?" Ze zwegen. Toen keek Hij de mensen aan die om Hem heen stonden. Hij was boos en bedroefd dat ze zo hard waren. En Hij zei tegen de man: "Strek je hand uit." De man strekte zijn hand uit en de hand werd net zo gezond als de andere. De Farizeeërs vertrokken. Ze gingen met de Herodianen[a] overleggen hoe ze Jezus zouden kunnen doden.

Jezus en de duivelse geesten

Jezus vertrok met zijn leerlingen naar het meer. Een grote groep mensen uit Galilea liep achter Hem aan. Maar er kwamen ook grote groepen mensen naar Hem toe uit Judea, Jeruzalem, Idumea, uit het gebied aan de andere kant van de Jordaan en uit het gebied van Tyrus en Sidon. Want iedereen hoorde wat Hij allemaal deed. Hij zei tegen zijn leerlingen dat ze met een bootje bij Hem in de buurt moesten blijven. Want de mensen dromden tegen Hem op. 10 Iedereen die ziek was probeerde Hem aan te raken, omdat Hij heel veel mensen genas. 11 En als de duivelse geesten Hem zagen, lieten ze zich voor Hem op de grond vallen en schreeuwden: "U bent de Zoon van God!" 12 Maar steeds verbood Hij hun streng om te zeggen wie Hij was.

Jezus kiest twaalf leerlingen uit

13 Jezus klom de berg op en nam twaalf leerlingen mee. 14 Deze twaalf koos Hij uit om voortaan met Hem mee te gaan. Hij wilde dat ook zij het goede nieuws aan de mensen zouden gaan vertellen. 15 Hij gaf hun ook de macht om zieken te genezen en om duivelse geesten uit mensen weg te jagen. 16 Hij had de volgende twaalf mannen uitgekozen: Simon, die Hij de bijnaam Petrus gaf. 17 De broers Jakobus en Johannes (de zonen van Zebedeüs), die Hij de bijnaam Boanerges gaf. Dat betekent 'zonen van de donder'. 18 Verder Andreas, Filippus, Bartolomeüs, Matteüs, Tomas, Jakobus (de zoon van Alfeüs), Taddeüs, Simon de Zeloot en Judas Iskariot. 19 Judas is de man die Hem later verraden heeft.

Jezus en Beëlzebul

20 Jezus ging een huis in en weer kwamen er grote groepen mensen naar Hem toe. Er waren zoveel mensen, dat Jezus en zijn leerlingen zelfs niet konden gaan eten. 21 Toen Jezus' familie dat hoorde, gingen ze erheen om Hem te halen. Want ze zeiden: "Hij lijkt wel gek."

22 De wetgeleerden die uit Jeruzalem waren gekomen, zeiden: "Beëlzebul, de leider van de duivelse geesten, zit in Hem. En met de hulp van Beëlzebul jaagt Hij de duivelse geesten weg." 23 Jezus riep hen naar Zich toe en vertelde hun een verhaal om hun iets uit te leggen. Hij zei: "Hoe kan de duivel de duivel wegjagen? 24 Als een koninkrijk uiteen valt in verschillende partijen die tegen elkaar strijden, zal dat koninkrijk zichzelf vernietigen. 25 En als een familie uiteen valt in verschillende partijen die tegen elkaar strijden, zal die familie zichzelf vernietigen. 26 En als de duivel tegen zichzelf strijdt, zal hij zichzelf vernietigen. 27 Maar niemand kan het huis van een sterke man binnengaan en zomaar zijn spullen stelen. Eerst moet hij die sterke man vastbinden. Pas daarna kan hij het huis leeghalen.

28 Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat de mensen vergeving kunnen krijgen voor alles waarin ze ongehoorzaam zijn geweest aan God. Ook voor alle dingen waarmee ze God beledigen. 29 Maar mensen die expres de Heilige Geest beledigen, zullen voor eeuwig geen vergeving krijgen. Ze zullen voor eeuwig schuldig zijn." 30 Jezus zei dat omdat de mensen zeiden: 'Er woont een duivelse geest in Hem.'

Jezus' familie

31 Jezus' moeder en broers kwamen naar Jezus toe. Toen ze bij het huis stonden, stuurden ze iemand naar binnen om Jezus te roepen. 32 Er zat een grote groep mensen om Hem heen. Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "Uw moeder en broers staan buiten. Ze willen U spreken." 33 Hij antwoordde hun: "Wie zijn mijn moeder en mijn broers?" 34 Hij keek om Zich heen naar de mensen die in een kring om Hem heen zaten, en zei: 35 "Kijk, zij zijn mijn moeder en mijn broers. Iedereen die doet wat God wil, is mijn broer en zus en moeder."

  1. Markus 3:6 De Herodianen waren een politieke partij die ontstaan was in de tijd van koning Herodes de Grote. Herodes de Grote regeerde in de tijd van Jezus' geboorte (Lees Matteüs 2). Hij was de vader van Herodes Antipas (= Archelaüs) die kort na Jezus' geboorte koning werd (Lees Matteüs 2:22).

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.”

耶稣在安息日里为人治病

耶稣又来到了犹太会堂。那里有个人的手残废了。 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。 耶稣对那个手残的人说∶“你站到大家面前来!”

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。

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。 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

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、 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。 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。”
