Mark 3:21-35

21When His familyG3588G3844G846 heardG191 about this, they went outG1831 to take custodyG2902 of HimG846, sayingG2036, “He is out of His mindG1839.”

22AndG2532 theG3588 scribesG1122 whoG3588 had come downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 were sayingG2036, “He is possessedG2192 by BeelzebulG954,1” andG2532, “ByG1722 theG3588 princeG758 of theG3588 demonsG1140 He drives outG1544 demonsG1140.”

23SoG2532 Jesus called them togetherG4341G846 and began to speakG2036 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: “HowG4459 canG1410 SatanG4567 drive outG1544 SatanG4567? 24IfG1437 a kingdomG932 is dividedG3307 againstG1909 itselfG1438, it cannotG3756G1410 standG2476. 25IfG1437 a houseG3614 is dividedG3307 againstG1909 itselfG1438, it cannotG3756G1410 standG2476. 26AndG2532 ifG1487 SatanG4567 is dividedG3307 andG2532 risesG450 againstG1909 himselfG1438, he cannotG3756G1410 standG2476; his endG5056 has comeG2192. 27IndeedG235, no oneG3762G3756 canG1410 enterG1525G1519 a strong man’sG3588G2478 houseG3614 to stealG1283 hisG846 possessionsG4632 unlessG1437G3361 he first ties upG4412G1210 theG3588 strong manG2478. ThenG5119 he can plunderG1283 hisG846 houseG3614.

28TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, theG3588 sonsG5207 of menG444 will be forgivenG863 allG3956 sinsG265 andG2532 blasphemiesG988, as many asG3745 they utterG1437G987. 29ButG1161 whoeverG3739G302 blasphemesG987 againstG1519 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will neverG3756G1519G3588G165 beG2192 forgivenG859; he isG1510 guiltyG1777 of eternalG166 sinG265.”

30Jesus made this statement becauseG3754 they were sayingG2036, “He hasG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151.”

31ThenG2532 Jesus’ motherG3384 andG2532 brothersG80 cameG2064 andG2532 stoodG4739 outsideG1854. They sent someone inG649 toG4314 summonG2564 HimG846, 32andG2532 a crowdG3793 was sittingG2521 aroundG4012 HimG846. “LookG2400,” He was toldG3004G846, “YourG4771 motherG3384 andG2532 brothersG802 are outsideG1854, asking forG2212 YouG4771.”

33ButG2532 Jesus repliedG611, “WhoG5101 areG1510 MyG1473 motherG3384 andG2532 MyG1473 brothersG80?” 34Looking atG4017 thoseG3588 seatedG2521 in a circleG2945 aroundG4012 HimG846, He saidG3004, “HereG2400 are MyG1473 motherG3384 andG2532 MyG1473 brothersG80! 35ForG1063 whoeverG3739G302 doesG4160 theG3588 willG2307 of GodG2316 isG1510 MyG1473 brotherG80 andG2532 sisterG79 andG2532 motherG3384.”
