| 1 | And he entered again into the synagogue ; and there was a man there which had a withered hand . |
| 2 | And 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 , Stand forth . |
| 4 | 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 . |
| 5 | 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 . |
| 6 | And the Pharisees went forth , and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him , how they might destroy him . |
| 7 | But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea : and a great multitude from Galilee followed him , and from Judaea , |
| 8 | 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 . |
| 9 | And he spake to his disciples , that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude , lest they should throng him . |
| 10 | For he had healed many ; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him , as many as had plagues . |
| 11 | And unclean spirits , when they saw him , fell down before him , and cried , saying , Thou art the Son of God . |
| 12 | And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known . |
| 13 | And 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 Simon he surnamed Peter ; |
| 17 | And James the [son] of Zebedee , and John the brother of James ; and he surnamed them Boanerges , which is , The sons of thunder : |
| 18 | And Andrew , and Philip , and Bartholomew , and Matthew , and Thomas , and James the [son] of Alphaeus , and Thaddaeus , and Simon the Canaanite , |
| 19 | And Judas Iscariot , which also betrayed him : and they went into an house . |
| 20 | And the multitude cometh together again , so that they could not so much as eat bread . |
| 21 | And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him : for they said , He is beside himself . |
| 22 | And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said , He 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 parables , How 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 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 . |
| 28 | Verily 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 | Because they said , He hath an unclean spirit . |
| 31 | There 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 , thy 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 , Behold my mother and my brethren ! |
| 35 | For whosoever shall do the will of God , the same is my brother , and my sister , and mother . |
