Mark 3:25-35

The Message Bible MSG

25

26

27 Do you think it's possible in broad daylight to enter the house of an awake, able-bodied man, and walk off with his possessions unless you tie him up first? Tie him up, though, and you can clean him out.

28 "Listen to this carefully. I'm warning you. There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven.

29 But if you persist in your slanders against God's Holy Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives, sawing off the branch on which you're sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives."

30 He gave this warning because they were accusing him of being in league with Evil.

31 Just then his mother and brothers showed up. Standing outside, they relayed a message that they wanted a word with him.

32 He was surrounded by the crowd when he was given the message, "Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside looking for you."

33 Jesus responded, "Who do you think are my mother and brothers?"

34 Looking around, taking in everyone seated around him, he said, "Right here, right in front of you - my mother and my brothers.

35 Obedience is thicker than blood. The person who obeys God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

New International Version NIV

25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.

27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.

28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,

29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.

32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!

35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
