1 - And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
2 - and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.
3 - And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.'
4 - And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.
5 - And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
6 - and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7 - And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
8 - and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon--a great multitude--having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
9 - And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
10 - for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him--as many as had plagues;
11 - and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying--`Thou art the Son of God;'
12 - and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13 - And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
14 - and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
15 - and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
16 - And he put on Simon the name Peter;
17 - and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names--Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;'
18 - and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
19 - and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20 - And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
21 - and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22 - and the scribes who <FI>are<Fi> from Jerusalem having come down, said--`He hath Beelzeboul,' and--`By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
23 - And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
24 - and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
25 - and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
26 - and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
27 - `No one is able the vessels of the strong man--having entered into his house--to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
28 - `Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
29 - but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness--to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'
30 - because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.'
31 - Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
32 - and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'
33 - And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?'
34 - And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!
35 - for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
