Markus 3
BasisBijbel
Jezus geneest een man op de heilige rustdag
3 Jezus ging weer naar de synagoge. Daar was een man met een verlamde hand. 2 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. 3 Jezus zei tegen de man met de verlamde hand: "Kom eens hier in het midden staan." 4 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. 5 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. 6 De Farizeeërs vertrokken. Ze gingen met de Herodianen[a] overleggen hoe ze Jezus zouden kunnen doden.
Jezus en de duivelse geesten
7 Jezus vertrok met zijn leerlingen naar het meer. Een grote groep mensen uit Galilea liep achter Hem aan. 8 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. 9 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."

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.”

Mark 3
King James Version
3 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 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.
5 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.
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
8 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.
9 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.
Mark 3
English Standard Version
A Man with a Withered Hand
3 (A)Again (B)he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And (C)they watched Jesus,[a] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” 4 And he said to them, (D)“Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 And he (E)looked around at them with anger, grieved at (F)their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” (G)He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 (H)The Pharisees went out and immediately (I)held counsel with (J)the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
A Great Crowd Follows Jesus
7 (K)Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and (L)a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem and (M)Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around (N)Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to (O)have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they (P)crush him, 10 for (Q)he had healed many, so that all who had (R)diseases pressed around him (S)to touch him. 11 (T)And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they (U)fell down before him and cried out, “You are (V)the Son of God.” 12 And (W)he strictly ordered them not to make him known.
The Twelve Apostles
13 (X)And he went up on the mountain and called to him those (Y)whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 (Z)And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 (AA)and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: (AB)Simon (to whom (AC)he gave the name Peter); 17 (AD)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, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and (AE)Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,[b] 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
20 Then he went (AF)home, and the crowd gathered again, (AG)so that they could not even eat. 21 (AH)And when (AI)his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He (AJ)is out of his mind.”
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit
22 And (AK)the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, (AL)“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 (AM)And he called them to him 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 will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But (AN)no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. (AO)Then indeed he may plunder his house.
28 (AP)“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever (AQ)blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
31 (AR)And his mother and his (AS)brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers[c] are outside, seeking you.” 33 And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And (AT)looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 (AU)For whoever (AV)does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
