| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15and to have authority to drive out demons. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means "sons of thunder"), |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan? |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin." |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30He said this because they were saying, "He has an impure spirit." |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." |
