The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ According to Saint Mark
Chapter 3
Christ heals the withered hand. He chooses the twelve. He confutes the blasphemy of the Pharisees.
 1 |
And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand. |
2 |
And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him. |
3 |
And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst. |
4 |
And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace. |
5 |
And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him. |
6 |
And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. |
7 |
But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea, |
8 |
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. |
9 |
And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. |
10 |
For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils. |
11 |
And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying: |
12 |
Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. |
13 |
And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him. |
14 |
And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach. |
15 |
And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. |
16 |
And to Simon he gave the name Peter: |
17 |
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder. |
18 |
And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananean: |
19 |
And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. |
20 |
And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. |
21 |
And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad. |
22 |
And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. |
23 |
And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? |
24 |
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. |
25 |
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. |
26 |
And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end. |
27 |
No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. |
28 |
Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme: |
29 |
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. |
30 |
Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit. |
31 |
And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. |
32 |
And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. |
33 |
And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? |
34 |
And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. |
35 |
For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother. |
