Mark:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
