1. And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who 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 said to the man who had the withered hand, Come and stand here.
4. And he said to 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 all around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole like the other.
6. And the Pharisees went out, and immediately 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 Judea,
8. And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond the Jordan; and those in the region of Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came to him.
9. And he spoke to his disciples, that a small boat should be ready for him because of the multitude, so that they should not crowd around him.
10. For he had healed many; so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11. And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying, You are the Son of God.
12. And he strictly instructed them that they should not make him known.
13. And he went up into a mountain, and called to him whom he would: and they came to him.
14. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,
15. And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16. And Simon he gave the name 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 Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19. And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they went into a house.
20. And the multitude came 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 who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casts out devils.
23. And he called them to himself, and said to 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 rises up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but comes to an end.
27. No man can enter into a strong man's house, and plunder his goods, unless he first ties up the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.
28. Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme:
29. But he who shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30. Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31. There came then his brothers and his mother, and, standing outside, sent to him, calling him.
32. And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside are looking for you.
33. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brothers?
34. And he looked all around at those who sat around him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!
35. For whoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
