Mark 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

1 He entered ^G1525 a synagogue ^G4864 again ^G3825; and a man ^G444 was there ^G1563 whose hand ^G5495 was withered ^G3583.

2 And they were watching ^G3906 Him [fn]closely ^G3906 to see if ^G1487 He would heal ^G2323 him on the Sabbath ^G4521, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they might accuse ^G2723 Him. 3 He *said ^G3004 to the man ^G444 with the withered ^G3584 hand ^G5495, “[fn]Get ^G1453 up ^G1453 and come forward ^G1519 G3319!” 4 And He *said ^G3004 to them, “Is it lawful ^G1832 to do ^G4160 good ^G18 on the Sabbath ^G4521 or ^G2228 to do ^G2554 harm ^G2554, to save ^G4982 a life ^G5590 or ^G2228 to kill ^G615?” But they kept ^G4623 silent ^G4623. 5 After looking ^G4017 around ^G4017 at them with anger ^G3709, grieved ^G4818 at their hardness ^G4457 of heart ^G2588, He *said ^G3004 to the man ^G444, “Stretch ^G1614 out ^G1614 your hand ^G5495.” And he stretched ^G1614 it out ^G1614, and his hand ^G5495 was restored ^G600. 6 The Pharisees ^G5330 went ^G1831 out ^G1831 and immediately ^G2117 began [fn]conspiring ^G4824 with the Herodians ^G2265 against ^G2596 Him, as to how ^G3704 they might put ^G622 Him to ^G622 death ^G622.

7 Jesus ^G2424 withdrew ^G402 to the sea ^G2281 with His disciples ^G3101; and a large ^G4183 multitude ^G4128 from Galilee ^G1056 followed ^G190, and also from Judea ^G2449, 8 and from Jerusalem ^G2414, and from Idumea ^G2401, and beyond ^G4008 the Jordan ^G2446, and the vicinity ^G4012 of Tyre ^G5184 and Sidon ^G4605, a great ^G4183 number ^G4128 of ^G4128 people ^G4128 heard ^G191 about everything ^G3745 that He was doing ^G4160 and came ^G2064 to Him. 9 And He told ^G3004 His disciples ^G3101 to see that a boat ^G4142 would be ready ^G4342 for Him because ^G1223 of the [fn]masses ^G3793, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they would not crowd ^G2346 Him; 10 for He had healed ^G2323 many ^G4183, with ^G5620 the ^G5620 result ^G5620 that ^G5620 all ^G3745 those who ^G3745 had ^G2192 diseases ^G3148 pushed ^G1968 in ^G1968 around ^G1968 Him in ^G2443 order ^G2443 to ^G2443 touch ^G681 Him. 11 And whenever ^G3752 the unclean ^G169 spirits ^G4151 saw ^G2334 Him, they would fall ^G4363 down ^G4363 before ^G4363 Him and shout ^G2896, “You are the Son ^G5207 of God ^G2316!” 12 And He strongly ^G4183 warned ^G2008 them not to [fn]reveal ^G5318 who ^G846 He was.

The Twelve Are Chosen

13 And He *went ^G305 up ^G305 on the mountain ^G3735 and *summoned ^G4341 those whom ^G3739 He Himself ^G846 wanted ^G2309, and they came ^G565 to Him.

14 And He appointed ^G4160 twelve ^G1427, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they would be with Him and that He could send ^G649 them out ^G649 to preach ^G2784, 15 and to have ^G2192 authority ^G1849 to cast ^G1544 out ^G1544 the demons ^G1140. 16 And He appointed ^G4160 the twelve ^G1427: Simon ^G4613 (to whom He gave ^G2007 the name ^G3686 Peter ^G4074), 17 [fn]James ^G2385 the son of Zebedee ^G2199 and John ^G2491 the brother ^G80 of [fn]James ^G2385 (to them He gave ^G2007 the name ^G3686 Boanerges ^G993, which ^G3739 means ^G1510, “Sons ^G5207 of Thunder ^G1027”); 18 and Andrew ^G406, Philip ^G5376, Bartholomew ^G918, Matthew ^G3156, Thomas ^G2381, [fn]James ^G2385 the son of Alphaeus ^G256, Thaddaeus ^G2280, and Simon ^G4613 the [fn]Zealot ^G2581; 19 and Judas ^G2455 Iscariot ^G2469, who ^G3739 also ^G2532 betrayed ^G3860 Him.

20 And He *came ^G2064 [fn]home ^G3624, and the crowd ^G3793 *gathered ^G4905 again ^G3825, to ^G5620 such ^G5620 an ^G5620 extent ^G5620 that ^G5620 they could ^G1410 not even ^G3366 eat ^G2068 [fn]a meal ^G740. 21 And when His own [fn]people heard ^G191 about this, they came ^G1831 out ^G1831 to take ^G2902 custody ^G2902 of Him; for they were saying ^G3004, “He has lost ^G1839 His senses ^G1839.” 22 The scribes ^G1122 who came ^G2597 down ^G2597 from Jerusalem ^G2414 were saying ^G3004, “He [fn]is possessed ^G2192 by [fn]Beelzebul ^G954,” and “He casts ^G1544 out ^G1544 the demons ^G1140 by the ruler ^G758 of the demons ^G1140.” 23 And so He called ^G4341 them to Himself and began speaking ^G3004 to them in parables ^G3850: “How ^G4459 can ^G1410 Satan ^G4567 cast ^G1544 out ^G1544 Satan ^G4567? 24 And if ^G1437 a kingdom ^G932 is divided ^G3307 against ^G1909 itself ^G1438, that kingdom ^G932 cannot ^G1410 G3756 stand ^G2476. 25 If ^G1437 a house ^G3614 is divided ^G3307 against ^G1909 itself ^G1438, that house ^G3614 will not be able ^G1410 to stand ^G2476. 26 And if ^G1487 Satan ^G4567 has risen ^G450 up ^G450 against ^G1909 himself ^G1438 and is divided ^G3307, he cannot ^G1410 G3756 stand ^G2476, but [fn]he is finished ^G5056! 27 But no ^G3762 one ^G3762 can ^G1410 enter ^G1525 the strong ^G2478 man’s ^G2478 house ^G3614 and plunder ^G1283 his property ^G4632 unless ^G1437 G3361 he first ^G4413 ties ^G1210 up ^G1210 the strong ^G2478 man ^G2478, and then ^G5119 he will plunder ^G1283 his house ^G3614.

28 “Truly ^G281 I say ^G3004 to you, all ^G3956 sins ^G265 will be forgiven ^G863 the sons ^G5207 and daughters of men ^G444, and whatever ^G3745 G1437 blasphemies ^G987 G988 they commit ^G987; 29 but whoever ^G3739 G302 blasphemes ^G987 against ^G1519 the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151 never ^{G3756 G1519 G165} has ^G2192 forgiveness ^G859, but is guilty ^G1777 of an eternal ^G166 sin ^G265”— 30 because ^G3754 they were saying ^G3004, “He has ^G2192 an unclean ^G169 spirit ^G4151.”

31 Then ^G2532 His mother ^G3384 and His brothers ^G80 *came ^G2064, and while standing ^G4739 outside ^G1854 they sent ^G649 word to Him, calling ^G2564 for Him. 32 And a crowd ^G3793 was sitting ^G2521 around ^G4012 Him, and they *said ^G3004 to Him, “Behold ^G2400, Your mother ^G3384 and Your brothers ^G80 are outside ^G1854 looking ^G2212 for ^G2212 You.” 33 Answering ^G611 them, He *said ^G3004, “Who ^G5101 are My mother ^G3384 and My brothers ^G80?” 34 And looking ^G4017 around ^G4017 at those ^G3588 who were sitting ^G2521 around ^G4012 G2945 Him, He *said ^G3004, “Here ^G2396 are ^G2396 My mother ^G3384 and My brothers ^G80! 35 For whoever ^G3739 G302 does ^G4160 the will ^G2307 of God ^G2316, this ^G3778 is My brother ^G80, and sister ^G79, and mother ^G3384.”
