Mark 3

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jesus returned to the synagogue. A man with a withered hand was there.

2 Wanting to bring charges against Jesus, they were watching Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.

3 He said to the man with the withered hand, "Step up where people can see you."

4 Then he said to them, "Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they said nothing.

5 Looking around at them with anger, deeply grieved at their unyielding hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he did, and his hand was made healthy.

6 At that, the Pharisees got together with the supporters of Herod to plan how to destroy Jesus.

7 Jesus left with his disciples and went to the lake. A large crowd followed him because they had heard what he was doing. They were from Galilee,

8 Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the area surrounding Tyre and Sidon.

9 Jesus told his disciples to get a small boat ready for him so the crowd wouldn't crush him.

10 He had healed so many people that everyone who was sick pushed forward so that they could touch him.

11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down at his feet and shouted, "You are God's Son!"

12 But he strictly ordered them not to reveal who he was.

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

14 He appointed twelve and called them apostles. He appointed them to be with him, to be sent out to preach,

15 and to have authority to throw out demons.

16 He appointed twelve: Peter, a name he gave Simon;

17 James and John, Zebedee's sons, whom he nicknamed Boanerges, which means "sons of Thunder";

18 and Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, Alphaeus' son; Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean;

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

20 Jesus entered a house. A crowd gathered again so that it was impossible for him and his followers even to eat.

21 When his family heard what was happening, they came to take control of him. They were saying, "He's out of his mind!"

22 The legal experts came down from Jerusalem. Over and over they charged, "He's possessed by Beelzebul. He throws out demons with the authority of the ruler of demons."

23 When Jesus called them together he spoke to them in a parable: "How can Satan throw Satan out?

24 A kingdom involved in civil war will collapse.

25 And a house torn apart by divisions will collapse.

26 If Satan rebels against himself and is divided, then he can't endure. He's done for.

27 No one gets into the house of a strong person and steals anything without first tying up the strong person. Only then can the house be burglarized.

28 I assure you that human beings will be forgiven for everything, for all sins and insults of every kind.

29 But whoever insults the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. That person is guilty of a sin with consequences that last forever."

30 He said this because the legal experts were saying, "He's possessed by an evil spirit."

31 His mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent word to him, calling for him.

32 A crowd was seated around him, and those sent to him said, "Look, your mother, brothers, and sisters are outside looking for you."

33 He replied, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

34 Looking around at those seated around him in a circle, he said, "Look, here are my mother and my brothers.

35 Whoever does God's will is my brother, sister, and mother."

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."
