Mark 3:22-35 ▼

22 and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”

23 And having called them near, He said to them in allegories, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan?

24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

25 and if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot be made to stand;

26 and if Satan rose against himself, and has been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but has an end.

27 No one is able to spoil the vessels of the strong man, having entered into his house, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then he will spoil his house.

28 Truly I say to you that all sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and slanders with which they might have slandered,

29 but whoever may slander in regard to the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness—throughout the age, but is in danger of continuous judgment;

30 because they said, He has an unclean spirit.”

31 Then His brothers and mother come, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him,

32 and a multitude was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers seek You outside.”

33 And He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”

34 And having looked around in a circle to those sitting around Him, He says, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!

35 For whoever may do the will of God, he is My brother, and My sister, and mother.”
