Markus 3
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Jesus botar en man med en vanställd hand på sabbatsdagen
3 Medan Jesus var i Kafarnaum gick han som vanligt till synagogan. Där lade han märke till en man som hade en vanställd hand.
2 Eftersom det var sabbatsdag höll Jesu fiender noga ögonen på honom. Skulle han våga bota mannens hand? I så fall fick de något att anklaga honom för.
3 Jesus bad mannen att resa sig så att alla kunde se honom.
4 Sedan vände han sig till de närvarande och frågade: Är sabbatsdagen en dag då man får göra gott eller inte? Eller är det en dag då man ska rädda människoliv eller förgöra människoliv? Men ingen ville svara honom.
5 Då såg han förargat på dem för han var djupt bedrövad över deras likgiltighet för människornas nöd, och han sa till mannen: Sträck ut din hand! Mannen gjorde det, och han blev genast frisk i sin hand.
6 Fariseerna lämnade då synagogan och började smida planer tillsammans med kung Herodes vänner och anhängare om hur man på enklaste sätt skulle röja Jesus ur vägen.
Stora skaror följer Jesus
7-8 Under tiden drog sig Jesus och hans lärjungar tillbaka till stranden, och en stor skara människor från Galileen, Judeen, Jerusalem och Idumeen, men också från andra sidan Jordan och ända bortifrån Tyros och Sidon, följde honom. Nyheterna om hans under hade nämligen spritt sig vida omkring, och folk strömmade till för att se vad som försiggick.
9 Jesus bad då sina lärjungar att skaffa fram en båt och ha den i beredskap för att rädda honom undan om folket på stranden skulle tränga på alltför mycket.
10 Många hade nämligen blivit botade den dagen, och därför trängde sig massor av sjuka människor på från alla håll för att röra vid honom.
11 När de som var besatta av onda andar fick syn på honom, föll de ner vid hans fötter och ropade: Du är Guds Son!
12 Men Jesus förbjöd dem att tala om vem han var.
Jesus väljer ut de tolv apostlarna
13 Därefter gick Jesus upp bland bergen och han tog med sig några män som han valt ut.
14-15 Då de var samlade runt honom utsåg han bland dem tolv som alltid skulle vara hos honom. Senare skulle han sända ut dem till att predika och driva ut onda andar.
16-17 ,
18-19 Här är namnen på de tolv: Simon, som Jesus gav det nya namnet Petrus, Jakob och Johannes (Sebedaios söner, som han kallade åsksönerna). Vidare Andreas, Filippos, Bartolomaios, Matteus, Tomas, Jakob (Alfaios son), Taddaios, Simon (medlem av seloternas revolutionära parti, som ville bekämpa den romerska övermakten med våld) och Judas Iskariot (som senare förrådde honom).
Jesus beskylls för att vara besatt av Satan
20 När han återvände till det hus där han bodde började folk på nytt att samlas, och snart var huset så fullt av folk så att varken han eller lärjungarna ens fick tid att äta.
21 När hans anhöriga hörde det kom de för att försöka ta hand om honom. Han är galen! sa de.
22 Men de judiska lagexperterna, som hade kommit från Jerusalem, sa: Han är besatt av Satan, de onda andarnas kung. Det är därför som de onda andarna lyder honom.
23 Jesus kallade då till sig dessa män och med hjälp av exempel som de alla förstod frågade han: Hur kan Satan driva ut Satan?
24 Ett rike som strider med sig självt kommer att gå under.
25 Och en familj, där man ständigt och jämt grälar och strider med varandra, kan inte bestå.
26 Om djävulen strider med sig själv, så har han inte längre någon makt och det är ute med honom.
27 Han måste bindas innan hans onda andar kan kastas ut, på samma sätt som en stark man måste bindas innan man kan bryta sig in i hans hus och stjäla hans tillhörigheter.
28 Därför vill jag till varje pris göra klart för er att vilken synd som helst kan förlåtas, till och med hädelse mot min Far.
29 Men den som hädar den helige Ande kan aldrig förlåtas. Det är en oförlåtlig synd.
30 Han sa detta till dem därför att de påstod att han gjorde sina under genom djävulens kraft och inte genom den helige Andes kraft.
Jesus berättar om sin verkliga familj
31-32 Nu kom hans mor och hans bröder till det överfulla huset där han undervisade människorna. Eftersom de själva inte kunde komma in, skickade de bud till honom och bad honom komma ut. Din mor och dina bröder är här utanför och vill träffa dig, sa man till honom.
33 Men han svarade: Min mor och mina bröder! Vilka är det?
34 Sedan såg han på dem som stod runt omkring och sa: De här är min mor och mina bröder!
35 Var och en som gör Guds vilja är min bror och min syster och min mor.
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.”
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.”

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!”
