Mark 3

3:22  And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub¹, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons².

3:23  And he called them unto him¹, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan³?

"constitutes an incidental but strong argument against sectarianism."

See 1 Corinthians 1:13 .

3:27  But no one can enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods¹, except he first bind the strong [man]; and then he will spoil his house².

3:28  Verily I say unto you¹, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme²:

3:29  but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness¹, but is guilty of an eternal sin²:

"just an extended way of saving "never"."

Some assert that the Jews would not know what Jesus meant by the HolySpirit, but the point is not so well taken. See Exodus 31:3 ; Numbers 11:26 1 Samuel 10:10 ; 1 Samuel 19:20 ; Psalms 137:7 ; Psalms 143:10 ; Isaiah 48:16 ; Ezekiel 11:24 .

3:30  because they said, He hath an unclean spirit¹.

3:31  And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without¹, they sent unto him, calling him.

3:32  And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee¹.

3:33  And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren¹?

3:34  And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren¹!

3:35  For whosoever shall do the will of God¹, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
