Mark 3

Mark Chapter 3 KJV

1Christ appealing to reason healeth the withered hand on the sabbath day. 6The Pharisees conspire his death: he retireth to the sea side, and healeth many: 13he chooseth his twelve apostles: 20his friends look upon him as beside himself: 22he refuteth conclusively the blasphemous absurdity of the Pharisees in ascribing his casting out of devils to the power of Beelzebub. 31Those who do the will of God he regardeth as his nearest relations.
1 And 1he entered again into 2the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 1And 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, aStand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, 1Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? 2to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5 And when he had looked round about on them with 1anger, being grieved for the ahardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, 2Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6 1And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 But 1Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: 2and a great multitude from 3Galilee followed him, and from 4Judaea,
8 And from Jerusalem, and from 1Idumaea, 2and from beyond Jordan; and they about 3Tyre 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 1because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10 For 1he had healed many; insomuch that they apressed upon him for 2to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, 1fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And 1he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
13 1And 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 1Simon he surnamed Peter;
17 And 1James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them 2Boanerges, which is, 3The sons of thunder:
18 And 1Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and 2Matthew, and 3Thomas, and 4James the son of Alphaeus, and 5Thaddaeus, and 6Simon the Canaanite,
19 And 1Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an ahouse.
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that 1they could not so much as eat bread.
21 And when his afriends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, 1He is beside himself.
22 ¶ And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, 1He 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 1parables, 2How 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 1enter 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 1Verily 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 1Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
31 1There 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, 1thy 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, 1Behold my mother and my brethren!
35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
