Is It Lawful To Heal On The Sabbath? Jesus Heals a Man, Inflaming The Pharisees
3 And He entered again into the synagogue. And there was a man there having his hand having become-withered. 2 And they were closely-watching Him to see if He would cure him on the Sabbath, in order that they might accuse Him. 3 And He says to the man having the withered hand, “Arise into the middle”. 4 And He says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do-harm[a], to save a life or to kill?” But the ones were being silent. 5 And having looked-around-at them with anger, while being deeply-grieved at the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out the hand”. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 And having gone out, the Pharisees immediately were giving counsel against Him with the Herodians[b] so that they might destroy Him.
A Great Multitude Comes To Jesus To Be Healed
7 And Jesus withdrew[c] to the sea with His disciples, and a great multitude from Galilee followed. And from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude hearing all that He was doing came to Him. 9 And He said to His disciples that a small-boat should be standing-ready-for Him because of the crowd— in order that they might not be pressing[d] Him. 10 For He cured many, so that they were falling-upon Him in order that all who were having scourges[e] might touch Him. 11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they were seeing Him, were falling-before Him and crying-out, saying that “You are the Son of God”. 12 And He was sternly rebuking them in order that they might not make Him known.
The Twelve Are Appointed
13 And He goes up on the mountain and summons whom He was wanting. And they went to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve, whom He also named apostles, in order that they might be with Him, and in order that He might send them out to proclaim 15 and to have authority to cast out the demons. 16 And He appointed the twelve, even Peter (He put the name on Simon), 17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James (and He put on them the name Boanerges, which means “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 Cananaean[f], 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also handed Him over.
Scribes Say Jesus Uses Satan’s Power. Such Blasphemy of The Spirit Will Not Be Forgiven
20 And He goes into a house[g]. And the crowd comes-together again, so that they were not even able to eat bread. 21 And having heard-of it, the ones[h] from Him went-forth to take-hold-of [i] Him. For they were saying[j] that “He lost-His-senses”. 22 And the scribes having come down from Jerusalem were saying that “He has Beelzebul”, and that “He is casting-out the demons by[k] the ruler of the demons”. 23 And having summoned them, He was speaking to them in parables: “How is Satan able to be casting-out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand; 25 and if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan stood-up against himself and was divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end[l]. 27 But no one, having entered into the house of the strong man, can plunder his things unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder[m] his house. 28 Truly I say to you that all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven to the sons of humans[n], whatever they may blaspheme. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because[o] they were saying “He has an unclean spirit”.
Whoever Does The Will of God Is My Family
31 And His mother and His brothers come. And while standing outside, they sent-forth a message to Him, calling Him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around Him. And they say to Him, “Behold— Your mother and Your brothers and Your sisters are outside seeking You”. 33 And having responded to them, He says “Who is My mother and My brothers?” 34 And having looked-around-at the ones sitting in a circle around Him, He says “Look— My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God— this one is My brother and sister and mother”.
Footnotes
- Mark 3:4 The answer is that the day makes no difference. It is good to do good and wrong to do harm on all seven days. The Sabbath is a day of rest from one’s work, not from doing good.
- Mark 3:6 That is, those politically linked to Herod’s family. As a false prophet, being a Sabbath-breaker, Jesus is a religious and political problem for these leaders.
- Mark 3:7 Or, went-back.
- Mark 3:9 Or, crowding, squeezing.
- Mark 3:10 That is, ailments perceived as a scourge from God.

- Mark 3:20 Mark may mean ‘His house’, connecting this with the coming of His family in v 31.
- Mark 3:21 That is, the relatives of Jesus, who arrive in v 31; or, the friends or associates of Jesus. These people heard of the problem and went forth to solve it.

- Mark 3:21 This could be the statement of a well-intentioned mother or disciple who felt the need to rescue Jesus (Have some sense! Come and eat!); or, the misinformed statement of brothers who did not understand His mission or believe in Him (Jn 7:5); or, an impersonal statement meaning ‘people were saying’.

- Mark 3:30 This is Mark’s explanation of why Jesus said this, and what Jesus meant by it. If Jesus does a miracle which you fully acknowledge but attribute to Satan, what more can be done? You have called the Spirit of God Satan. You have cut yourself off from God.

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.”

治好手枯的人
3 耶穌又進了會堂，那裡有個人一隻手是萎縮的。 2 當時有好些人密切地監視耶穌，看祂是否會在安息日醫治這個人，好找藉口控告祂。
3 耶穌對那一隻手萎縮的人說：「起來，站在中間。」 4 然後問眾人：「在安息日應該行善還是作惡？救人還是害人？」他們都不吭聲。
5 耶穌生氣地看著四周這些人，為他們的心剛硬而感到極其難過。祂對那人說：「把手伸出來！」那人一伸手，手就立刻復原了。 6 法利賽人離開後，立刻和希律黨的人策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。
群眾跟隨耶穌
7 耶穌和門徒退到湖邊，有一大群人從加利利來跟隨祂。 8 還有很多人聽見耶穌所做的一切，就從猶太、耶路撒冷、以土買、約旦河東，甚至泰爾和西頓一帶來找祂。 9 耶穌見人多，就吩咐門徒為祂預備一條小船，以免人群擁擠祂。 10 因為祂醫好了很多人，凡有疾病的人都想擠過來摸祂。 11 每當污鬼看見祂，就俯伏在祂面前，大喊：「你是上帝的兒子！」 12 耶穌卻嚴厲地吩咐牠們不要洩露祂的身分。
選立十二使徒
13 耶穌上了山，把合自己心意的人召集到跟前， 14 從中選出十二個人，設立他們為使徒，讓他們跟隨自己，並且差遣他們出去傳道， 15 賜他們趕鬼的權柄。
16 這十二位使徒是：西門——耶穌給他取名叫彼得、 17 西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰——耶穌給他們取名叫「半尼其」，就是「雷霆之子」的意思、 18 安得烈、腓力、巴多羅買、馬太、多馬、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、達太、激進黨人西門、 19 及後來出賣耶穌的加略人猶大。
耶穌和別西卜
20 耶穌剛進家門，人群又聚集起來，以致祂和門徒連吃飯的時間也沒有。 21 祂的親屬聽見這個消息，就出來要拉住祂，因為人們說祂瘋了。
22 從耶路撒冷下來的律法教師說：「祂被別西卜附體。」又說：「祂是靠鬼王趕鬼。」
23 耶穌叫他們來，用比喻對他們說：「撒旦怎能驅逐撒旦呢？ 24 一個國內部自相紛爭，必然崩潰。 25 一個家內部自相紛爭，必然破裂。 26 同樣，撒旦如果與自己為敵，自相紛爭，就站立不住，必然滅亡。 27 沒有人能進入壯漢家裡搶奪他的財物，除非先把那壯漢捆綁起來，才有可能搶劫他的家。
28 「我實在告訴你們，世人一切的罪和褻瀆的話都可以得到赦免， 29 唯有褻瀆聖靈的人永遠得不到赦免，他們要永遠擔罪。」 30 耶穌這樣說是因為他們誣衊祂被污鬼附身。
誰是耶穌的親人
31 這時候，耶穌的母親和兄弟來了，他們站在外面，託人叫耶穌。 32 有許多人圍坐在耶穌身邊，他們告訴祂說：「看啊！你的母親和兄弟在外面找你。」
33 耶穌說：「誰是我的母親？誰是我的弟兄？」 34 然後祂望著周圍坐著的人說：「看啊！我的母親、我的弟兄在這裡。 35 凡遵行上帝旨意的人就是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親。」
