1 And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.2 So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.3 And He said to the man who had the withered hand, Stand up in the middle.4 And He said to them, Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they kept silent.5 And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.6 And the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.7 But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.9 And He said to His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, that they might not press upon Him.10 For He healed many, such that, as many as had plagues lunged upon Him in order to touch Him.11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, You are the Son of God!12 But He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.13 And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.14 And He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them forth to preach,15 and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:16 Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter;17 Jacob the son of Zebedee and John the brother of Jacob, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Jacob the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite;19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.20 And the multitude came together again, so that they were not even able to eat bread.21 But when His next of kin heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, He is beside Himself.22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, by the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.23 So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.27 No one can enter a strong mans house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.28 Truly, I say to you, All sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme;29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has remission, but is subject to eternal damnation;30 because they said, He has an unclean spirit.31 Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.32 And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are seeking You outside.33 But He answered them, saying, Who is My mother, or My brothers?34 And He looked around in a circle at those who sat around Him, and said, Behold My mother and My brothers.35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.

And thei weren stille.5 And he biheeld hem aboute with wraththe, and hadde sorewe on the blyndnesse of her herte, and seith to the man, Hold forth thin hoond. And he helde forth, and his hoond was restorid to hym.6 Sotheli Farisees yeden out anoon, and maden a counsel with Erodians ayens hym, hou thei schulden lese hym.7 But Jhesus with hise disciplis wente to the see; and myche puple fro Galilee and Judee suede hym,8 and fro Jerusalem, and fro Ydume, and fro biyondis Jordan, and thei that weren aboute Tire and Sidon, a greet multitude, heringe the thingis that he dide, and cam to hym.9 And Jhesus seide to hise disciplis, that the boot schulde serue hym, for the puple, lest thei thristen hym;10 for he heelide many, so that thei felden fast to hym, to touche hym. And hou many euer hadde syknessis, and vnclene spirits,11 whanne thei seyen hym, felden doun to hym, and crieden, seiynge, Thou art the sone of God.12 And greetli he manasside hem, that thei schulden not make hym knowun.13 And he wente in to an hille, and clepide to hym whom he wolde; and thei camen to hym.14 And he made, that there weren twelue with hym, to sende hem to preche.15 And he yaf to hem pouwer to heele sijknessis, and to caste out feendis.16 And to Symount he yaf a name Petre, and he clepide James of Zebede and Joon,17 the brother of James, and he yaf to hem names Boenarges, that is, sones of thundryng.18 And he clepide Andrew and Filip, and Bartholomew and Matheu, and Thomas and James Alfey, and Thadee,19 and Symount Cananee, and Judas Scarioth, that bitraiede hym.20 And thei camen to an hous, and the puple cam togidere eftsoone, so that thei miyten not ete breed.21 And whanne his kynnysmen hadden herd, thei wenten out `to holde him; for thei seiden, that he is turned in to woodnesse.22 And the scribis that camen doun fro Jerusalem, seiden, That he hath Belsabub, and that in the prince of deuelis he castith out fendis.23 And he clepide hem togidir, and he seide to hem in parablis, Hou may Sathanas caste out Sathanas?24 And if a rewme be departid ayens it silf, thilke rewme may not stonde.25 And if an hous be disparpoilid on it silf, thilke hous may not stonde.26 And if Sathanas hath risun ayens hym silf, he is departid, and he schal not mowe stonde, but hath an ende.27 No man may go in to a stronge mannus hous, and take awey hise vessels, but he bynde first the stronge man, and thanne he schal spoile his hous.28 Treuli Y seie to you, that alle synnes and blasfemyes, bi whiche thei han blasfemed, schulen be foryouun to the sones of men.29 But he that blasfemeth ayens the Hooli Goost, hath not remissioun in to with outen ende, but he schal be gilty of euerlastynge trespas.30 For thei seiden, He hath an vnclene spirit.31 And his modir and britheren camen, and thei stoden withoutforth, and senten to hym, and clepiden hym.32 And the puple sat aboute hym; and thei seien to hym, Lo! thi modir and thi britheren with outforth seken thee.33 And he answeride to hem, and seide, Who is my modir and my britheren?34 And he bihelde thilke that saten aboute hym, and seide, Lo! my modir and my britheren.35 For who that doith the wille of God, he is my brothir, and my sistir, and modir.
