Mark 3:20-30
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Scribes Say Jesus Uses Satan’s Power. Such Blasphemy of The Spirit Will Not Be Forgiven
20 And He goes into a house[a]. And the crowd comes-together again, so that they were not even able to eat bread. 21 And having heard-of it, the ones[b] from Him went-forth to take-hold-of [c] Him. For they were saying[d] 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[e] 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[f]. 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[g] his house. 28 Truly I say to you that all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven to the sons of humans[h], 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[i] they were saying “He has an unclean spirit”.
