Mark 3:1-14 ▼

1 And he entred agayne into the synagogue, & a man was there whiche had a wythered hande:

2 And they watched hym, whether he woulde heale hym on the Sabboth daye, that they myght accuse hym.

3 And he saide vnto the man which had the wythered hande: Aryse, and stande in the myddes.

4 And he saide vnto them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyl? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? But they helde their peace.

5 And when he had loked rounde about on them with anger, mournyng for the hardnesse of their heartes, he sayth to the man: stretch foorth thyne hande. And he stretched it out: And his hande was restored, euen as whole as the other.

6 And the pharisees departed, and strayghtway gathered a councell, with the Herodians, agaynst hym, that they myght destroy hym.

7 But Iesus auoyded, with his disciples, to the sea: And a great multitude folowed hym from Galilee, and from Iurie,

8 And from Hierusalem, & from Idumea, and from beyonde Iordane, and they that dwelled about Tyre & Sidon, a great multitude of men: Which, whe they had hearde what thynges he dyd, came vnto hym.

9 And Iesus comaunded his disciples, that a shippe shoulde wayte on hym, because of the people, leste they shoulde thronge hym.

10 For he had healed many: insomuche, that they preassed vpon him for to touch hym, as many as had plagues.

11 And when the vncleane spirites sawe hym, they fell downe before hym, and cryed, saying: Thou art the sonne of God.

12 And he straytely charged them, that they shoulde not make hym knowen.

13 And he went vp into a mountayne, & called vnto him whom he woulde: and they came vnto hym.

14 And he ordeyned twelue, that they shoulde be with him, and that he might sende them foorth to preache,
