Old/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”.

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”.
