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 Judaea,
|
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 strong 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.>
