³ And He is saying to the man having the withered hand, "Rise in the midst."
⁴ And He is saying to them, "Is it allowed on the sabbaths to do good or to do evil, a soul to save or to kill?" Yet they were silent.
⁵ And looking about on them with indignation, commiserating the callousness of their hearts, He is saying to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretches it out, and his hand was restored.
⁶ And, coming out, the Pharisees straightway held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, so that they should be destroying Him.
⁷ And Jesus, with His disciples, retires to the sea. And a vast multitude from Galilee follows Him.
⁸ And from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan, and those about Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, hearing how much He did, came to Him.
⁹ And He spoke to His disciples that a boat may be waiting on Him because of the throng, lest they may be crowding Him,
¹⁰ for He cures many, so that they are falling on Him, that whoever had scourges should be touching Him.
¹¹ And the unclean spirits, whenever they beheld Him, prostrated to Him and cried, saying that

¹⁴ And He makes twelve, whom He also names apostles, that they may be with Him, and that He may be commissioning them to herald,
¹⁵ and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out demons.
¹⁶ And He makes the twelve, and He places on Simon the name "Peter,"
¹⁷ and on James of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, on them also He places the name "Boanerges," which is, "Sons of Thunder";
¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James of Alpheus and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananite
¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also gives Him up. And they are coming into a house,
²⁰ and the throng is coming together again, so that they are not even able to eat bread.
²¹ And hearing it, those with Him came out to hold it, for they said that it was beside itself.
²² And the scribes who descend from Jerusalem said that "Beelzeboul has he," and that "By the chief of the demons is he casting out the demons."

²⁴ And if ever a kingdom should be parted against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
²⁵ And if ever a house should be parted against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
²⁶ And if Satan rose against himself and is parted, he is not able to stand, but is having a consummation.
²⁷ But no one is able to enter into the house of the strong one to plunder his gear, if ever he should not first be binding the strong one. And then he will be plundering his house.
²⁸ "Verily, I am saying to you that all shall be pardoned the sons of mankind, the penalties of the sins and the blasphemies, whatsoever they should be blaspheming,
²⁹ yet whoever should be blaspheming against the holy spirit is having no pardon for the eon, but is liable to the eonian penalty for the sin" --
³⁰ for they said, "An unclean spirit has he."
³¹ And coming are His mother and His brothers, and, standing outside, they dispatch to Him, calling Him.
³² And there sat about Him a throng. And they are saying to Him, "Lo! Thy mother and Thy brothers and Thy sisters are outside seeking Thee."
³³ And answering them, He is saying, "Who is My mother and My brothers?"
³⁴ And looking about on those sitting around Him, He is saying, "Lo! My mother and My brothers!
³⁵ For whoever should be doing the will of God, this one is My brother and sister and mother."

Chapter 3 (KJV)

¹ And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
² And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
³ And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
⁴ And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

⁷ But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
⁸ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
⁹ And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
¹⁰ For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
¹¹ And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
¹² And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
¹³ And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
¹⁴ And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
¹⁵ And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
¹⁶ And Simon he surnamed Peter;
¹⁷ And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
¹⁹ And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
²⁰ And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
²¹ And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
²² And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

²⁸ Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
²⁹ But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
³⁰ Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
³¹ There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
³² And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
³³ And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
³⁴ And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
³⁵ For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
