Jesus Heals on the Sabbath |
|
|
 |
|
Mark 3:1
|
|
He entered again into a synagogue; and a man
was there whose hand was withered. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:2
|
|
They were watching Him to see if He would heal
him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:3
|
|
He *said
to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!" |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:4
|
|
And He *said
to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath,
to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:5
|
|
After looking around at them with anger, grieved
at their hardness of heart, He *said
to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched
it out, and his hand was restored. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:6
|
|
The Pharisees went out and immediately began
conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:7
|
|
Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples;
and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:8
|
|
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond
the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard
of all that He was doing and came to Him. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:9
|
|
And He told His disciples that a boat should
stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him; |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:10
|
|
for He had healed many, with the result that
all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:11
|
|
Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would
fall down before Him and shout, "You are the Son of God!" |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:12
|
|
And He earnestly warned them not to tell who
He was. |
| |
|
|

|
The Twelve Are Chosen |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:13
|
|
And He *went
up on the mountain and *summoned
those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:14
|
|
And He appointed twelve, so that they would
be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:15
|
|
and to have authority to cast out the demons. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:16
|
|
And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom
He gave the name Peter), |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:17
|
|
and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the
brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder"); |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:18
|
|
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and
Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the
Zealot; |
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:19
|
|
and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:20
|
|
And He *came
home, and the crowd *gathered
again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 3:21
|
|
When His own people heard of this, they went
out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, "He has lost His senses." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:22
|
|
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were
saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "He casts out the demons by the ruler
of the demons." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:23
|
|
And He called them to Himself and began speaking
to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:24
|
|
If a kingdom is divided
against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:25
|
|
If a house is divided
against itself, that house will not be able to stand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:26
|
|
If Satan has risen up
against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished! |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:27
|
|
But no one can enter the
strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man,
and then he will plunder his house. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:28
|
|
"Truly I say to you,
all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:29
|
|
but whoever blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"-- |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:30
|
|
because they were saying, "He has an unclean
spirit." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:31
|
|
Then His mother and His brothers *arrived,
and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:32
|
|
A crowd was sitting around Him, and they *said
to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:33
|
|
Answering them, He *said,
"Who are My mother and My brothers?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:34
|
|
Looking about at those who were sitting around
Him, He *said,
"Behold My mother and My brothers! |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 3:35
|
|
For whoever does the will
of God, he is My brother and sister and mother." |
