Mark 3:22-35

22The scribes who came down 1from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by 23Beelzebul,” and “4He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.” 235And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in 6parables, “How can 7Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26If 8Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but 9he is finished! 2710But 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“11Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29but 12whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”-- 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

3113Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. 32A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.” 33Answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, “14Behold My mother and My brothers! 35For whoever 15does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
