* And he entered again into the synagogue , and a man was there who had a withered hand . * And they watched him whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day , so that they might accuse him . * And he says to the man who had a withered hand , Stand up in the midst . * And he says to them , Is it permitted to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm , to save life or to kill ? But they were silent . * And having looked around on them with anger , being grieved at the callousness of their heart , he says to the man , Stretch forth thy hand . And he stretched it out , and his hand was restored as the other . * And the Pharisees having gone out , they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him , how they might destroy him . * And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea , and a great multitude from Galilee followed him . * And from Judea , and from Jerusalem , and from Idumaea , and beyond the Jordan , and around Tyre and Sidon , a great multitude , having heard how many things he did , came to him . * And he spoke to his disciples that a small boat would stay by him because of the crowd , lest they should throng him . * For he healed many , so as to press upon him , so that as many as had afflictions might touch him . * And the unclean spirits , whenever they saw him , fell down before him , and cried out , saying , Thou are the Son of God . * And he chided them much that they should not make him known . * And he goes up onto the mountain , and calls in those whom he himself wanted , and they went to him . * And he appointed twelve men , so that they might be with him , and that he might send them forth to preach , * and to have authority to heal diseases and to cast out demons . * And he added to Simon the name Peter ; * and James the son of Zebedee , and John the brother of James , and he added to them the name Boanerges , which is , Sons of thunder ; * and Andrew , and Philip , and Bartholomew , and Matthew , and Thomas , and James the son of Alphaeus , and Thaddaeus , and Simon the Canaanite , * and Judas Iscariot , who also betrayed him . And they come to a house . * And the multitude comes together again , so as for them , no , not even to be able to eat bread . * And when those with him heard it , they went out to grasp him , for they said , He is beside himself . * And the scholars who came down from Jerusalem said , He has Beelzebub , and , By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons . * And having summoned them , he said to them in parables , How can Satan cast out Satan ? * And if a kingdom be divided against itself , that kingdom cannot stand . * And if a house be divided against itself , that house cannot stand . * And if Satan has rise up against himself , and is divided , he cannot stand , but has an end . * But no man , having enter into the house of the strong man , can plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man , and then he may plunder his house . * Truly I say to you , that all the sins will be forgiven the sons of men , and the blasphemies , as many as they may blaspheme . * But whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness , into the age , but is deserving of eternal damnation , * because they said , He has an unclean spirit . * Then his brothers and mother come , and standing outside , they sent to him , calling him . * And a multitude was sitting around him , and they said to him , Behold , thy mother , and thy brothers , and thy sisters , outside seek for thee . * And he answered them , saying , Who is my mother and my brothers ? * And having looked around at those who sat about him , he says , Behold , my mother and my brothers . * For whoever may do the will of God , the same is my brother and sister and mother .
