27 No man may go into a strong man's house, and take away his vessels, but he bind first the strong man, and then he shall spoil his house.

28 Truly I say to you, that all sins and blasphemies, by which they have blasphemed, shall be forgiven to the sons of men.
28
Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,
29 But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost [Soothly he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost], hath not remission into without end, but he shall be guilty of everlasting trespass.
29
but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

33
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 And he beheld them that sat about him, and said, Lo! my mother and my brethren.
34
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 For who that doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
35
Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
