The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 3
{3:1} He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there
who had his hand withered. {3:2} They watched him, whether he would
heal him on the day of Shabbat, that they might accuse him. {3:3} He
said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up." {3:4} He said
to them, "Is it lawful on the day of Shabbat to do good, or to do
harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent. {3:5} When he
had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening
of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He
stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
{3:6} The Perushim went out, and immediately conspired with the
Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
{3:7} Yeshua withdrew to the sea with his [1>]talmidim[<1], and a
great multitude followed him from the Galil, from Yehudah, {3:8} from
Yerushalayim, from Idumaea, beyond the Yarden, and those from around
Tzor and Tzidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did,
came to him. {3:9} He spoke to his [2>]talmidim[<2] that a little boat
should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press
on him. {3:10} For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases
pressed on him that they might touch him. {3:11} The unclean spirits,
whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the
Son of God!" {3:12} He sternly warned them that they should not make
him known.
{3:13} He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those
whom he wanted, and they went to him. {3:14} He appointed twelve, that
they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,
{3:15} and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out
demons: {3:16} Shim`on, to whom he gave the name Rock; {3:17} Ya`akov
the son of Zavdai; Yochanan, the brother of Ya`akov, and he surnamed
them Benei-Regesh, which means, Sons of Thunder; {3:18} Andrai;
Pilipos; Bar-Talmai; Mattityahu; T'oma; Ya`akov, the son of Halfai;
Taddi; Shim`on the Zealot; {3:19} and Yehudah from K'riot, who also
betrayed him.
He came into a house. {3:20} The multitude came together again, so
that they could not so much as eat bread. {3:21} When his friends
heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, "He is insane."
{3:22} The [3>]Sofrim[<3] who came down from Yerushalayim said, "He
has Ba`al-Zibbul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the
demons."
{3:23} He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can
Hasatan cast out Hasatan? {3:24} If a kingdom is divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. {3:25} If a house is divided
against itself, that house cannot stand. {3:26} If Hasatan has risen
up against himself, and is divided, he can't stand, but has an end.
{3:27} But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to
plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will
plunder his house. {3:28} Most assuredly I tell you, all of the sons
of men's sins will be forgiven them, including their blasphemies with
which they may blaspheme; {3:29} but whoever may blaspheme against the
[4>]Ruach HaKodesh[<4] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an
eternal sin" {3:30} -- because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
{3:31} His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they
sent to him, calling him. {3:32} A multitude was sitting around him,
and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your
sisters are outside looking for you."
{3:33} He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" {3:34}
Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Behold, my
mother and my brothers! {3:35} For whoever does the will of God, the
same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."
