3And 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:
18And 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.
