Mark 3:20-35
20And He cameG2064 12homeG3624, and the 3crowdG3793 gatheredG4905 againG3825, 4to suchG5620 an extentG5620 that they couldG1410 not evenG3366 eatG2068 5a mealG740. 21When 6His own 7people heardG191 of this, they wentG1831 out to takeG2902 custodyG2902 of Him; for they were sayingG3004, “8He has lostG1839 His sensesG1839.” 22The scribesG1122 who cameG2597 downG2597 9from JerusalemG2414 were sayingG3004, “He is possessedG2192 by 1011BeelzebulG954,” and “12He castsG1544 out the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 2313And He calledG4341 them to Himself and began speakingG3004 to them in 14parablesG3850, “HowG4459 canG1410 15SatanG4567 castG1544 out SatanG4567? 24IfG1437 a kingdomG932 is dividedG3307 againstG1909 itselfG1438, that kingdomG932 cannotG1410G3756 standG2476. 25IfG1437 a houseG3614 is dividedG3307 againstG1909 itselfG1438, that houseG3614 will not be ableG1410 to standG2476. 26IfG1487 16SatanG4567 has risenG450 up againstG1909 himselfG1438 and is dividedG3307, he cannotG1410G3756 standG2476, but 17he is finishedG5056! 2718But noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 enterG1525 the strongG2478 man’sG2478 houseG3614 and plunderG1283 his propertyG4632 unlessG1437G3361 he firstG4413 bindsG1210 the strongG2478 manG2478, and thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614.
28“19TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 sinsG265 shall be forgivenG863 the sonsG5207 of menG444, and whateverG3745G1437 blasphemiesG988 they utterG987; 29but 20whoeverG3739G302 blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 neverG3756G1519G165 hasG2192 forgivenessG859, but is guiltyG1777 of an eternalG166 sinG265”-- 30becauseG3754 they were sayingG3004, “He hasG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151.”
3121ThenG2532 His motherG3384 and His brothersG80 arrivedG2064, and standingG4739 outsideG1854 they sentG649 word to Him and calledG2564 Him. 32A crowdG3793 was sittingG2521 aroundG4012 Him, and they saidG3004 to Him, “BeholdG2400, Your motherG3384 and Your brothersG80 are outsideG1854 lookingG2212 for You.” 33AnsweringG611 them, He saidG3004, “WhoG5101 are My motherG3384 and My brothersG80?” 34LookingG4017 aboutG4017 at thoseG3588 who were sittingG2521 aroundG4012G2945 Him, He saidG3004, “22BeholdG2396 My motherG3384 and My brothersG80! 35For whoeverG3739G302 23doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, he is My brotherG80 and sisterG79 and motherG3384.”
