The Man with a Paralyzed Hand

3Then Jesus went back to the synagogue, where there was a man who had a paralyzed hand.G2532G1525G3825G1519G4864G2532G2258G444G1563G2192G3583G5495 2Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong; so they watched him closely to see whether he would cure the man on the Sabbath.G2532G3906G846G1487G2323G846G4521G2443G2723G846 3Jesus said to the man, "Come up here to the front."G2532G3004G444G2192G3583G5495G1453G1519G3319 4Then he asked the people, "What does our Law allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone's life or to destroy it?" But they did not say a thing.G2532G3004G846G1832G15G4521G2228G2554G4982G5590G2228G615G1161G4623 5Jesus was angry as he looked around at them, but at the same time he felt sorry for them, because they were so stubborn and wrong. Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and it became well again.G2532G4017G846G3326G3709G4818G1909G4457G846G2588G3004G444G1614G4675G5495G2532G1614G2532G846G5495G600G5199G5613G243 6So the Pharisees left the synagogue and met at once with some members of Herod's party, and they made plans to kill Jesus.G2532G5330G1831G2112G4160G4824G3326G2265G2596G846G3704G622G846

A Crowd by the Lake

7Jesus and his disciples went away to Lake Galilee, and a large crowd followed him. They had come from Galilee, from Judea,G2532G2424G402G3326G846G3101G4314G2281G2532G4183G4128G575G1056G190G846G2532G575G2449 8from Jerusalem, from the territory of Idumea, from the territory on the east side of the Jordan, and from the region around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. All these people came to Jesus because they had heard of the things he was doing.G2532G575G2414G2532G575G2401G2532G4008G2446G2532G4012G5184G2532G4605G4183G4128G191G3745G4160G2064G4314G846 9The crowd was so large that Jesus told his disciples to get a boat ready for him, so that the people would not crush him.G2532G2036G846G3101G2443G4142G4342G846G1223G3793G3363G2346G846 10He had healed many people, and all the sick kept pushing their way to him in order to touch him.G1063G2323G4183G5620G1968G846G2443G680G846G3745G2192G3148 11And whenever the people who had evil spirits in them saw him, they would fall down before him and scream, "You are the Son of God!"G2532G169G4151G3752G2334G846G4363G846G2532G2896G3004G3754G4771G1488G5207G2316 12Jesus sternly ordered the evil spirits not to tell anyone who he was.G2532G4183G2008G846G3363G4160G3363G4160G846G5318

Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles

13Then Jesus went up a hill and called to himself the men he wanted. They came to him,G2532G305G1519G3735G2532G4341G3739G846G2309G2532G565G4314G846 14and he chose twelve, whom he named apostles. "I have chosen you to be with me," he told them. "I will also send you out to preach,G2532G4160G1427G2443G5600G3326G846G2532G2443G649G846G649G2784 15and you will have authority to drive out demons."G2532G2192G1849G2323G3554G2532G1544G1140 16These are the twelve he chose: Simon (Jesus gave him the name Peter);G2532G4613G2007G3686G4074 17James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee (Jesus gave them the name Boanerges, which means "Men of Thunder");G2532G2385G3588G2199G2532G2491G80G2385G2532G2007G3686G846G993G3603G5207G1027 18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Patriot,G2532G406G2532G5376G2532G918G2532G3156G2532G2381G2532G2385G3588G256G2532G2280G2532G4613G2581 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.G2532G2455G2469G3739G2532G3860G846G2532G2064G1519G3624

Jesus and Beelzebul

20Then Jesus went home. Again such a large crowd gathered that Jesus and his disciples had no time to eat.G2532G3793G4905G3825G5620G846G1410G3361G3383G5315G740 21When his family heard about it, they set out to take charge of him, because people were saying, "He's gone mad!"G2532G846G3844G191G1831G2902G846G1063G3004G3754G1839 22Some teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him! It is the chief of the demons who gives him the power to drive them out."G2532G1122G3588G2597G575G2414G3004G3754G2192G954G3754G2532G1722G758G1140G1544G1140 23So Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?G2532G4341G846G3004G846G1722G3850G4459G1410G4567G1544G4567 24If a country divides itself into groups which fight each other, that country will fall apart.G2532G1437G932G3307G1909G1438G1565G932G3756G1410G2476 25If a family divides itself into groups which fight each other, that family will fall apart.G2532G1437G3614G3307G1909G1438G1565G3614G3756G1410G2476 26So if Satan's kingdom divides into groups, it cannot last, but will fall apart and come to an end.G2532G1487G4567G450G1909G1438G2532G3307G3756G1410G2476G235G2192G5056 27"No one can break into a strong man's house and take away his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house.G3762G3756G1410G1525G1519G2478G3614G1283G846G4632G3362G1210G4412G1210G2478G2532G5119G1283G846G3614 28"I assure you that people can be forgiven all their sins and all the evil things they may say.G281G3004G5213G3754G3956G265G863G5207G444G2532G988G3745G302G987 29But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin."G1161G3739G302G987G1519G40G4151G2192G3756G1519G165G859G235G2076G1777G166G2920 30(Jesus said this because some people were saying, "He has an evil spirit in him.")G3754G3004G2192G169G4151

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

31Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside the house and sent in a message, asking for him.G2064G3767G846G80G2532G3384G2532G2476G1854G649G4314G846G5455G846 32A crowd was sitting around Jesus, and they said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, and they want you."G2532G3793G2521G4012G846G1161G2036G846G2400G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G1854G2212G4571 33Jesus answered, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"G2532G611G846G3004G5101G2076G3450G3384G2228G3450G80 34He looked at the people sitting around him and said, "Look! Here are my mother and my brothers!G2532G4017G2945G3588G2521G4012G846G3004G2396G3450G3384G2532G3450G80 35Whoever does what God wants is my brother, my sister, my mother."G1063G3739G302G4160G2307G2316G3778G2076G3450G80G2532G3450G79G2532G3384
