Mark 3

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Jesus went into a synagogue again. A man who had a paralyzed hand was there.

2 The people were watching Jesus closely. They wanted to see whether he would heal the man on the day of worship so that they could accuse him of doing something wrong.

3 So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Stand in the center [of the synagogue]."

4 Then he asked them, "Is it right to do good or to do evil on the day of worship, to give a person back his health or to let him die?" But they were silent.

5 Jesus was angry as he looked around at them. He was deeply hurt because their minds were closed. Then he told the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held it out, and his hand became normal again.

6 The Pharisees left, and with Herod's followers they immediately plotted to kill Jesus.

7 Jesus left with his disciples for the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

8 Jerusalem, Idumea, and from across the Jordan River, and from around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they had heard about everything he was doing.

9 Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready so that the crowd would not crush him.

10 He had cured so many that everyone with a disease rushed up to him in order to touch him.

11 Whenever people with evil spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and shout, "You are the Son of God!"

12 He gave them orders not to tell people who he was.

13 Jesus went up a mountain, called those whom he wanted, and they came to him.

14 He appointed twelve whom he called apostles. They were to accompany him and to be sent out by him to spread [the Good News].

15 They also had the authority to force demons out of people.

16 He appointed these twelve: Simon (whom Jesus named Peter),

17 James and his brother John (Zebedee's sons whom Jesus named Boanerges, which means "Thunderbolts"),

18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

19 and Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed Jesus).

20 Then Jesus went home. Another crowd gathered so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat.

21 When his family heard about it, they went to get him. They said, "He's out of his mind!"

22 The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "Beelzebul is in him," and "He forces demons out of people with the help of the ruler of demons."

23 Jesus called them together and used this illustration: "How can Satan force out Satan?

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last.

25 And if a household is divided against itself, that household will not last.

26 So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot last. That will be the end of him.

27 "No one can go into a strong man's house and steal his property. First he must tie up the strong man. Then he can go through the strong man's house and steal his property.

28 "I can guarantee this truth: People will be forgiven for any sin or curse.

29 But whoever curses the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. He is guilty of an everlasting sin."

30 Jesus said this because the scribes had said that he had an evil spirit.

31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent someone to ask him to come out.

32 The crowd sitting around Jesus told him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you."

33 He replied to them, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

34 Then looking at those who sat in a circle around him, he said, "Look, here are my mother and my brothers.

35 Whoever does what God wants is my brother and sister and mother."

New International Version NIV

1 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.

2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.

3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.

6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.

8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.

9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.

10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.

11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.

13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.

14 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach

15 and to have authority to drive out demons.

16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),

17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”),

18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.

21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”

23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

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.”
