Och han gick åter in i en synagoga. Där var då en man som hade en förvissnad hand.

Och de vaktade på honom, för att se om han skulle bota denne på sabbaten; de ville nämligen få något att anklaga honom för.

Då sade han till mannen som hade den förvissnade handen: »Stå upp, och kom fram.»

Sedan sade han till dem: »Vilketdera är lovligt på sabbaten: att göra vad gott är, eller att göra vad ont är, att rädda någons liv, eller att döda?» Men de tego.

Då såg han sig omkring på dem med vrede, bedrövad över deras hjärtans förstockelse, och sade till mannen: »Räck ut din hand.» Och han räckte ut den; och hans hand blev frisk igen. --

Då gingo fariséerna bort och fattade strax, tillsammans med herodianerna, det beslutet att de skulle förgöra honom.

Och Jesus drog sig med sina lärjungar undan till sjön, och en stor hop folk följde honom från Galileen.

Och från Judeen och Jerusalem och Idumeen och från landet på andra sidan Jordan och från trakterna omkring Tyrus och Sidon kom en stor hop folk till honom, när de fingo höra huru stora ting han gjorde.

Och han tillsade sina lärjungar att en båt skulle hållas tillreds åt honom, för folkets skull, för att de icke skulle tränga sig inpå honom.

10 Ty han botade många och blev därför överlupen av alla som hade någon plåga och fördenskull ville röra vid honom.

11 Och när de orena andarna sågo honom, föllo de ned för honom och och ropade och sade: »Du är Guds Son.»

12 Men han förbjöd dem strängeligen, åter och åter, att röja honom.

13 Och han gick upp på berget och kallade till sig några som han själv utsåg; och de kommo till honom.

14 Så förordnade han tolv som skulle följa honom, och som han ville sända ut till att predika,

15 och de skulle hava makt att bota sjuka och driva ut onda andar.

16 Han förordnade alltså dessa tolv: Simon, åt vilken han gav tillnamnet Petrus;

17 vidare Jakob, Sebedeus' son, och Johannes, Jakobs broder, åt vilka han gav tillnamnet Boanerges (det betyder tordönsmän);

18 vidare Andreas och Filippus och Bartolomeus och Matteus och Tomas och Jakob, Alfeus' son, och Taddeus och Simon ivraren

19 och Judas Iskariot, densamme som förrådde honom.

20 Och när han kom hem, församlade sig folket åter, så att de icke ens fingo tillfälle att äta.

21 Då nu hans närmaste fingo höra härom, gingo de åstad för att taga vara på honom; ty de menade att han var från sina sinnen.

22 Och de skriftlärde som hade kommit ned från Jerusalem sade att han var besatt av Beelsebul, och att det var med de onda andarnas furste som han drev ut de onda andarna.

23 Då kallade han dem till sig och sade till dem i liknelser: »Huru skulle Satan kunna driva ut Satan?

24 Om ett rike har kommit i strid med sig självt, så kan det riket ju icke hava bestånd;

25 och om ett hus har kommit i strid med sig självt, så skall icke heller det huset kunna äga bestånd.

26 Om alltså Satan har satt sig upp mot sig själv och kommit i strid med sig själv, så kan han icke äga bestånd, utan det är då ute med honom. --

27 Nej, ingen kan gå in i en stark mans hus och plundra honom på hans bohag, såframt han icke förut har bundit den starke. Först därefter kan han plundra hans hus.

28 Sannerligen säger jag eder: Alla andra synder skola bliva människors barn förlåtna, ja ock alla andra hädelser, huru hädiskt de än må tala;

29 men den som hädar den helige Ande, han får icke någonsin förlåtelse, utan är skyldig till evig synd.»

30 De hade ju nämligen sagt att han var besatt av en oren ande.

31 Så kommo nu hans moder och hans bröder; och de stannade därutanför och sände bud in till honom för att kalla honom ut.

32 Och mycket folk satt där omkring honom; och man sade till honom: »Se, din moder och dina bröder stå härutanför och fråga efter dig.»

33 Då svarade han dem och sade: Vilken är min moder, och vilka äro mina bröder?»

34 Och han såg sig omkring på dem som sutto där runt omkring honom, och han sade: »Se här är min moder, och här äro mina bröder!

35 Den som gör Guds vilja, den är min broder och min syster och min moder.»

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue,(A) and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(B) to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.(C) Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(D) how they might kill Jesus.(E)

Crowds Follow Jesus(F)

Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.(G) When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.(H) Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,(I) so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.(J) 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”(K) 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.(L)

Jesus Appoints the Twelve(M)

13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.(N) 14 He appointed twelve[a](O) that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.(P) 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),(Q) 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law(R)(S)

20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered,(T) so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.(U) 21 When his family[b] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”(V)

22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem(W) said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul!(X) By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”(Y)

23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:(Z) “How can Satan(AA) drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.(AB) 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”(AC)

30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived.(AD) Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

A Man with a Withered Hand

(A)Again (B)he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. And (C)they watched Jesus,[a] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” And he said to them, (D)“Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. And he (E)looked around at them with anger, grieved at (F)their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” (G)He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. (H)The Pharisees went out and immediately (I)held counsel with (J)the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

(K)Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and (L)a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem and (M)Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around (N)Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. And he told his disciples to (O)have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they (P)crush him, 10 for (Q)he had healed many, so that all who had (R)diseases pressed around him (S)to touch him. 11 (T)And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they (U)fell down before him and cried out, “You are (V)the Son of God.” 12 And (W)he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

The Twelve Apostles

13 (X)And he went up on the mountain and called to him those (Y)whom he desired, and they came to him. 14 (Z)And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach 15 (AA)and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: (AB)Simon (to whom (AC)he gave the name Peter); 17 (AD)James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and (AE)Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,[b] 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

20 Then he went (AF)home, and the crowd gathered again, (AG)so that they could not even eat. 21 (AH)And when (AI)his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He (AJ)is out of his mind.”

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

22 And (AK)the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, (AL)“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 (AM)And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 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 is coming to an end. 27 But (AN)no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. (AO)Then indeed he may plunder his house.

28 (AP)“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever (AQ)blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

31 (AR)And his mother and his (AS)brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers[c] are outside, seeking you.” 33 And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And (AT)looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 (AU)For whoever (AV)does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
