3:1  And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

3:2  And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

3:3  And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up [and come] into the midst.

3:4  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.

3:5  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.

3:6  And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

3:7  And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

3:8  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.

3:9  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.

3:10  For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

3:11  And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, *Thou* art the Son of God.

3:12  And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

3:13  And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

3:14  And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,

3:15  and to have power [to heal diseases, and] to cast out demons.

3:16  And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;

3:17  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;

3:18  and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

3:19  and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to [the] house.

3:20  And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

3:21  And his relatives having heard [of it] went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

3:22  And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

3:23  And having called them to [him], he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

3:24  And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.

3:25  And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.

3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.

3:27  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.

3:28  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;

3:29  but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;

3:30  -- because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

3:31  And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.

3:32  And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

3:33  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

3:34  And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

3:35  for whosoever shall do the will of God, *he* is my brother, and sister, and mother.
