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
5
And when he had looked round about on them with anger being grieved for the hardness of their hearts he saith unto the man Stretch forth thine hand And he stretched it out and his hand was restored whole as the other
6
And the Pharisees went forth and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him how they might destroy him
7
But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea and a great multitude from Galilee followed him and from Judæa
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
23
And he called them unto him and said unto 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 rise up against himself and be divided he cannot stand but hath an end
27
No man can enter into a str g man’s house and spoil his goods except he will first bind the strong man and then he will spoil his house
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
