Mark 3:21-35
21When 1His own 2people heardG191 of this, they wentG1831 out to takeG2902 custodyG2902 of Him; for they were sayingG3004, “3He has lostG1839 His sensesG1839.” 22The scribesG1122 who cameG2597 downG2597 4from JerusalemG2414 were sayingG3004, “He is possessedG2192 by 56BeelzebulG954,” and “7He castsG1544 out the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 238And He calledG4341 them to Himself and began speakingG3004 to them in 9parablesG3850, “HowG4459 canG1410 10SatanG4567 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 11SatanG4567 has risenG450 up againstG1909 himselfG1438 and is dividedG3307, he cannotG1410G3756 standG2476, but 12he is finishedG5056! 2713But 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“14TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 sinsG265 shall be forgivenG863 the sonsG5207 of menG444, and whateverG3745G1437 blasphemiesG988 they utterG987; 29but 15whoeverG3739G302 blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 neverG3756G1519G165 hasG2192 forgivenessG859, but is guiltyG1777 of an eternalG166 sinG265”-- 30becauseG3754 they were sayingG3004, “He hasG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151.”
3116ThenG2532 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, “17BeholdG2396 My motherG3384 and My brothersG80! 35For whoeverG3739G302 18doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, he is My brotherG80 and sisterG79 and motherG3384.”
