1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.
2 And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.
3 And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up {and come} into the midst.
4 And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.
5 And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched {it} out, and his hand was restored.
6 And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
7 And Jesus withdrew 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 beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.
9 And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.
10 For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, *Thou* art the Son of God.
12 And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.
13 And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.
14 And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,
15 and to have power {to heal diseases, and} to cast out demons.
16 And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;
17 and James the {son} of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, 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 Cananaean,
19 and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to {the} house.
20 And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.
21 And his relatives having heard {of it} went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.
22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.
23 And having called them to {him}, he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.
25 And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.
27 But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong {man} unless he first bind the strong {man}, and then he will plunder his house.
28 Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches {with} which they may speak injuriously;
29 but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;
30 -because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31 And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.
32 And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?
34 And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:
35 for whosoever shall do the will of God, *he* is my brother, and sister, and mother.
1 耶稣又进了会堂， 在那里有一个人， 他的一只手枯干了。
2 众人窥探他会不会在安息日医治那个人， 好去控告他。
3 耶稣对那一只手枯干了的人说： "起来， 站在当中！ "
4 又对他们说： "在安息日哪一样是可以作的呢： 作好事还是坏事？救命还是害命？"他们一声不响。
5 耶稣怒目环视他们， 因他们的心刚硬而难过， 就对那人说： "伸出手来！ "他把手一伸， 手就复原了。
6 法利赛人出来， 立刻和希律党人商量怎样对付耶稣， 好除掉他。
7 耶稣和门徒退到海边去， 一大群从加利利来的人跟着他；
8 还有许多人听见他所作的一切事， 就从犹太、耶路撒冷、以土迈、约旦河外和推罗、西顿一带地方来到他跟前。
9 因为人多， 耶稣就吩咐门徒为他预备一只小船， 免得众人拥挤他。
10 他医好了许多人， 所以凡有病的都挤过来要摸他。
11 污灵每次看到他， 就仆倒在他面前， 大声喊叫说： "你是 神的儿子！ "
12 耶稣再三严厉地吩咐他们， 不要把他的身分张扬出去。
13 耶稣上了山， 呼召自己所要的人， 他们就来了。
14 他选立了十二个人， 称他们为使徒（有些抄本无"称他们为使徒"一句）， 要他们跟自己常在一起， 好差遣他们去传道，
15 又有权柄赶鬼。
16 他选立的十二个人是： 西门（耶稣给他起名叫彼得），
17 西庇太的儿子雅各， 和雅各的弟弟约翰（耶稣给他们二人起名叫半尼其， 就是"雷子"的意思），
18 安得烈、腓力、巴多罗迈、马太、多马、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、达太、激进派的西门，
19 以及加略人犹大， 就是出卖耶稣的那个人。
20 耶稣进了屋子， 群众又聚了来， 以致他们连饭都不能吃，
21 那些和他在一起的人听见了， 就出来抓住他， 因为他们说他癫狂了。
22 从耶路撒冷下来的经学家说： "他有别西卜附在身上！ "又说： "他靠着鬼王赶鬼。"
23 耶稣把他们叫来， 用比喻对他们说： "撒但怎能赶逐撒但呢？
24 一国若自相纷争， 那国就站立不住；
25 一家若自相纷争， 那家就站立不住。
26 如果撒但自相攻打纷争， 不但站立不住， 而且还要灭亡。
27 谁都不能进入壮汉的家， 抢夺他的财物， 除非先把壮汉捆绑起来， 才可以抢劫他的家。
28 我实在告诉你们， 世人的一切罪和一切亵渎的话， 都可以得到赦免；
29 但亵渎圣灵的， 就永世不得赦免， 他还要担当罪恶到永远。"
30 耶稣说这话， 是因为他们说他有污灵附在身上。
31 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来了， 站在外面， 传话给他， 叫他出来。
32 有许多人正围坐在耶稣身边， 他们告诉他： "你看， 你的母亲和弟弟（有些抄本在此有"妹妹"一词）在外面找你。"
33 耶稣回答他们： "谁是我的母亲， 我的弟兄呢？"
34 于是四面观看那些围坐的人， 说： "你们看， 我的母亲！ 我的弟兄！
35 凡遵行 神旨意的， 就是我的弟兄姊妹和母亲了。"
