Mark 3:22-35 ▼

22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, |He has Beelzebul,| and, |By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.|

23 And so he summoned them, and said to them in parables, |How can Satan cast out Satan?

24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he will not be able to stand, but has an end.

27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

28 Truly I tell you, all human sins will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;

29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin|--

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

31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, |Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.|

33 And he answered them, saying, |Who are my mother and my brothers?|

34 And looking around at those who sat around him, he said, |Look, my mother and my brothers.

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