Mark 3:16-35 ▼

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 comes 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 has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casts he out devils.

23 And he called them to him, and said to 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 has 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 Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

31 There came then his brothers and his mother, and, standing without, sent to him, calling him.

32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers without seek for you.

33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brothers?

34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

35 For whoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
