¹And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man having a dry hand.

²And they espied him, if he healed in the sabbaths, to accuse him.

³And he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise thou into the middle.

⁴And he saith to them, Is it leaveful to do well in the sabbaths, either evil? to make a soul safe, either to lose? And they were still.

⁵And he beheld them about with wrath, and had sorrow on the blind-ness of their heart, and saith to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held forth, and his hand was restored to him.

⁶Soothly the Pharisees went out anon, and made a counsel with Herodians against him, how they should lose him.

⁷But Jesus with his disciples went to the sea; and much people from Galilee and from Judea pursued him,

⁸and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan, and they that were about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things that he did, came to him.

⁹And Jesus said to his disciples, that the boat should serve him, for the people, lest they thrust or oppressed him;

¹⁰for he healed many, so that they felled fast to him, to touch him. And how many ever had sicknesses, or sores, or wounds,

¹¹and unclean spirits, when they saw him, felled down to him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

¹²And greatly he menaced them, that they should not make him known.

¹³And he went into an hill, and called to him whom he would; and they came to him.

¹⁴And he made, that there were twelve with him, to send them to preach.

¹⁵And he gave to them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out fiends.

¹⁶And to Simon he gave a name, Peter,

¹⁷and he called James of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, and he gave to them names of Boanerges, that is, the sons of thundering or of thunder.

¹⁸And he called Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon Canaanite,

¹⁹and Judas Iscariot, that betrayed him. And they came to an house,

²⁰and the people came together again, so that they might not eat bread.

²¹And when his kinsmen had heard, they went out to hold him; for they said, that he is turned into madness.

²²And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem, said, That he hath Beelzebub, and that in the prince of devils he casteth out fiends.

²³And he called them together, and he said to them in parables, How may Satan cast out Satan?

²⁴And if a realm be parted against itself, that realm may not stand.

²⁵And if an house be parted against itself, that house may not stand.

²⁶And if Satan hath risen against himself, he is parted, and he shall not be able to stand, but hath an end.

²⁷No man may go into a strong man’s house, and take away his vessels, but he bind first the strong man, and then he shall spoil or ravish his house.

²⁸Truly I say to you, that all sins and blasphemies, by which they have blasphemed, shall be forgiven to the sons of men.

²⁹But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, hath not remission into without end, but he shall be guilty of everlasting trespass.

³⁰For they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

³¹And his mother and his brethren came, and stood withoutforth, and sent to him, and called him.

³²And the people sat about him; and they said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren withoutforth seek thee.

³³And he answered to them, and said, Who is my mother and my brethren?

³⁴And he beheld them that sat about him, and said, Lo! my mother and my brethren.

³⁵For who that doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
