Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
(Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11)

1AND he entered again into the synagogue; and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him. 3And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up in the midst. 4And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent. 5Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other. 6And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes
(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)

7And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him. 9And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him: 10for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases. 11And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried out saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12And he repeatedly charged them, that they should not make him known.

The Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)

13And he went up into a mountain, and called to him those whom he chose; and they came to him. 14And he appointed twelve to be with him, and to send them out to preach: 15and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out devils: 16and Simon he surnamed Peter; 17and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder: 18and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they came into an house.

A House Divided
(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)

20And the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread. 21And when his relations heard it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, He is transported beyond all bounds. 22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by this prince of the devils doth he cast out devils. 23So calling them to him, he spake to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24Even if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand: 25and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot be established. 26So if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but cometh to an end. 27No man entering into his house, can plunder a strong man?s goods, unless he first bind the strong man, then indeed he spoileth his house.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Matthew 12:31–32)

28Verily I say unto you, That all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies, whatsoever they may blaspheme: 29but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath no forgiveness to eternity, but is adjudged to everlasting damnation. 30Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit.

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12:46–50; Luke 8:19–21)

31Then came his brethren and his mother, and standing without sent unto him, calling aloud for him. 32And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without are asking for thee. 33And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren? 34And looking about on those who were sitting in a circle round him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35For whosoever shall do the will of God, that person is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
