3Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.G2532G1525G3825G1519G4864G2532G2258G444G1563G2192G3583G54952The people watched Jesus closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.G2532G3906G846G1487G2323G846G4521G2443G2723G8463He said to the man with the paralyzed hand, "Come forward."G2532G3004G444G2192G3583G5495G1453G1519G33194Then he asked them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on Sabbath days, to save a life or to destroy it?" But they remained silent.3G2532G3004G846G1832G15G4521G2228G2554G4982G5590G2228G615G1161G46235Jesus looked around at them in anger, deeply hurt because of their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held it out, and his hand was restored to health.G2532G4017G846G3326G3709G4818G1909G4457G846G2588G3004G444G1614G4675G5495G2532G1614G2532G846G5495G600G5199G5613G2436Immediately the Pharisees and Herodians went out and began to plot how to kill him.G2532G5330G1831G2112G4160G4824G3326G2265G2596G846G3704G622G8467So Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. A large crowd from Galilee, Judea,G2532G2424G402G3326G846G3101G4314G2281G2532G4183G4128G575G1056G190G846G2532G575G24498Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.G2532G575G2414G2532G575G2401G2532G4008G2446G2532G4012G5184G2532G4605G4183G4128G191G3745G4160G2064G4314G8469Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready for him so that the crowd wouldn't crush him,G2532G2036G846G3101G2443G4142G4342G846G1223G3793G3363G2346G84610because he had healed so many people that everyone who had diseases kept crowding up against him in order to touch him.G1063G2323G4183G5620G1968G846G2443G680G846G3745G2192G314811Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, "You are the Son of God!"G2532G169G4151G3752G2334G846G4363G846G2532G2896G3004G3754G4771G1488G5207G231612But he sternly ordered them again and again not to tell people who he was.G2532G4183G2008G846G3363G4160G3363G4160G846G531813Then Jesus went up on a hillside and called to himself those whom he had decided on, and they approached him.G2532G305G1519G3735G2532G4341G3739G846G2309G2532G565G4314G84614He appointed twelve disciples, whom he called apostles, to accompany him, to be sent out to preach,G2532G4160G1427G2443G5600G3326G846G2532G2443G649G846G649G278415and to have the authority to drive out demons.G2532G2192G1849G2323G3554G2532G1544G114016He appointed these twelve men: Simon (whom he named Peter),G2532G4613G2007G3686G407417Zebedee's sons James and his brother John (whom he named Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),G2532G2385G3588G2199G2532G2491G80G2385G2532G2007G3686G846G993G3603G5207G102718Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananaean,G2532G406G2532G5376G2532G918G2532G3156G2532G2381G2532G2385G3588G256G2532G2280G2532G4613G258119and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.13G2532G2455G2469G3739G2532G3860G846G2532G2064G1519G362420Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.G2532G3793G4905G3825G5620G846G1410G3361G3383G5315G74021When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him, because they kept saying, "He's out of his mind!"G2532G846G3844G191G1831G2902G846G1063G3004G3754G183922The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept repeating, "He has Beelzebul," and "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."G2532G1122G3588G2597G575G2414G3004G3754G2192G954G3754G2532G1722G758G1140G1544G114023So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables. "How can Satan drive out Satan -G2532G4341G846G3004G846G1722G3850G4459G1410G4567G1544G456724If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.G2532G1437G932G3307G1909G1438G1565G932G3756G1410G247625And if a household is divided against itself, that household will not stand.G2532G1437G3614G3307G1909G1438G1565G3614G3756G1410G247626So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand. Indeed, his end has come.G2532G1487G4567G450G1909G1438G2532G3307G3756G1410G2476G235G2192G505627No one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man. Then he can ransack his house.G3762G3756G1410G1525G1519G2478G3614G1283G846G4632G3362G1210G4412G1210G2478G2532G5119G1283G846G361428I tell you with certainty, people will be forgiven their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter.G281G3004G5213G3754G3956G265G863G5207G444G2532G988G3745G302G98729But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven, but is guilty of eternal sin."G1161G3739G302G987G1519G40G4151G2192G3756G1519G165G859G235G2076G1777G166G292030For they had been saying, "He has an unclean spirit."G3754G3004G2192G169G415131Then his mother and his brothers arrived. Milling around outside, they sent for him, continually summoning him.G2064G3767G846G80G2532G3384G2532G2476G1854G649G4314G846G5455G84632A crowd was sitting around him. They said to him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."3G2532G3793G2521G4012G846G1161G2036G846G2400G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G1854G2212G457133He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"G2532G611G846G3004G5101G2076G3450G3384G2228G3450G8034Then looking at the people sitting around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!G2532G4017G2945G3588G2521G4012G846G3004G2396G3450G3384G2532G3450G8035Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."G1063G3739G302G4160G2307G2316G3778G2076G3450G80G2532G3450G79G2532G3384
