* And he entered again into the synagogue ; and there was a man there which had a withered hand . * And they watched him , whether he would heal him on the sabbath day ; that they might accuse him . * And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand , Stand forth . * 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 . * 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 . * And the Pharisees went forth , and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him , how they might destroy him . * But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea : and a great multitude from Galilee followed him , and from Judaea , * 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 . * And he spake to his disciples , that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude , lest they should throng him . * For he had healed many ; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him , as many as had plagues . * And unclean spirits , when they saw him , fell down before him , and cried , saying , Thou art the Son of God . * And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known . * And he goeth up into a mountain , and calleth unto him whom he would : and they came unto him . * And he ordained twelve , that they should be with him , and that he might send them forth to preach , * And to have power to heal sicknesses , and to cast out devils : * And Simon he surnamed Peter ; * And James the son of Zebedee , and John the brother of James ; and he surnamed them Boanerges , which is , The 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 , which also betrayed him : and they went into an house . * And the multitude cometh together again , so that they could not so much as eat bread . * And when his friends heard of it , they went out to lay hold on him : for they said , He is beside himself . * And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said , He hath Beelzebub , and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils . * And he called them unto him , and said unto 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 rise up against himself , and be divided , he cannot stand , but hath an end . * 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 . * Verily I say unto you , All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men , and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme : * But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness , but is in danger of eternal damnation : * Because they said , He hath an unclean spirit . * There came then his brethren and his mother , and , standing without , sent unto him , calling him . * And the multitude sat about him , and they said unto him , Behold , thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee . * And he answered them , saying , Who is my mother , or my brethren ? * And he looked round about on them which sat about him , and said , Behold my mother and my brethren ! * For whosoever shall do the will of God , the same is my brother , and my sister , and mother .
