Mark 3:23-35 ▼

23 And He called them to Himself and began speaking 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 cannot stand, but he is finished!

27 “But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

28 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—

30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31 And His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him, and called Him.

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

33 And answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

34 And looking about on those who were sitting around Him, He said, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!

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