Mark 3

New Century Version NCV

1 Another time when Jesus went into a synagogue, a man with a crippled hand was there.

2 Some people watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day so they could accuse him.

3 Jesus said to the man with the crippled hand, "Stand up here in the middle of everyone."

4 Then Jesus asked the people, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?" But they said nothing to answer him.

5 Jesus was angry as he looked at the people, and he felt very sad because they were stubborn. Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held out his hand and it was healed.

6 Then the Pharisees left and began making plans with the Herodiansn about a way to kill Jesus.

7 Jesus left with his followers for the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed him.

8 Also many people came from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from the lands across the Jordan River, and from the area of Tyre and Sidon. When they heard what Jesus was doing, many people came to him.

9 When Jesus saw the crowds, he told his followers to get a boat ready for him to keep people from crowding against him.

10 He had healed many people, so all the sick were pushing toward him to touch him.

11 When evil spirits saw Jesus, they fell down before him and shouted, "You are the Son of God!"

12 But Jesus strongly warned them not to tell who he was.

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

14 Jesus chose twelve men and called them apostles. He wanted them to be with him, and he wanted to send them out to preach

15 and to have the authority to force demons out of people.

16 These are the twelve men he chose: Simon (Jesus named him Peter),

17 James and John, the sons of Zebedee (Jesus named them Boanerges, which means "Sons of Thunder"),

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

19 and Judas Iscariot, who later turned against Jesus.

20 Then Jesus went home, but again a crowd gathered. There were so many people that Jesus and his followers could not eat.

21 When his family heard this, they went to get him because they thought he was out of his mind.

22 But the teachers of the law from Jerusalem were saying, "Beelzebul is living inside him! He uses power from the ruler of demons to force demons out of people."

23 So Jesus called the people together and taught them with stories. He said, "Satan will not force himself out of people.

24 A kingdom that is divided cannot continue,

25 and a family that is divided cannot continue.

26 And if Satan is against himself and fights against his own people, he cannot continue; that is the end of Satan.

27 No one can enter a strong person's house and steal his things unless he first ties up the strong person. Then he can steal things from the house.

28 I tell you the truth, all sins that people do and all the things people say against God can be forgiven.

29 But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of a sin that continues forever."

30 Jesus said this because the teachers of the law said that he had an evil spirit inside him.

31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to tell him to come out.

32 Many people were sitting around Jesus, and they said to him, "Your mother and brothers are waiting for you outside."

33 Jesus asked, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

34 Then he looked at those sitting around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

35 My true brother and sister and mother are those who do what God wants."

New Living Translation NLT

1 Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand.

2 Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus’ enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

3 Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.”

4 Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him.

5 He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!

6 At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.

7 Jesus went out to the lake with his disciples, and a large crowd followed him. They came from all over Galilee, Judea,

8 Jerusalem, Idumea, from east of the Jordan River, and even from as far north as Tyre and Sidon. The news about his miracles had spread far and wide, and vast numbers of people came to see him.

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

10 He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him.

11 And whenever those possessed by evil spirits caught sight of him, the spirits would throw them to the ground in front of him shrieking, “You are the Son of God!”

12 But Jesus sternly commanded the spirits not to reveal who he was.

13 Afterward Jesus went up on a mountain and called out the ones he wanted to go with him. And they came to him.

14 Then he appointed twelve of them and called them his apostles. They were to accompany him, and he would send them out to preach,

15 giving them authority to cast out demons.

16 These are the twelve he chose: Simon (whom he named Peter),

17 James and John (the sons of Zebedee, but Jesus nicknamed them “Sons of Thunder” ),

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

19 Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).

20 One time Jesus entered a house, and the crowds began to gather again. Soon he and his disciples couldn’t even find time to eat.

21 When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He’s out of his mind,” they said.

22 But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.”

23 Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration. “How can Satan cast out Satan?” he asked.

24 “A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse.

25 Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.

26 And if Satan is divided and fights against himself, how can he stand? He would never survive.

27 Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.

28 “I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven,

29 but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.”

30 He told them this because they were saying, “He’s possessed by an evil spirit.”

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him. They stood outside and sent word for him to come out and talk with them.

32 There was a crowd sitting around Jesus, and someone said, “Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.”

33 Jesus replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

34 Then he looked at those around him and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers.

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