Mark 3:23-33

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?"
