Mark 3:11-35

11And wheneverG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 sawG2334 Him, they would fallG4363 downG4363 beforeG4363 Him and shoutG2896, “You are 1the SonG5207 of GodG2316!” 12And He 2stronglyG4183 warnedG2008 them not to 3revealG5318 whoG846 He was.

13And He wentG305 upG305 on 4the mountainG3735 and 5summonedG4341 those whomG3739 He HimselfG846 wantedG2309, and they cameG565 to Him. 14And He appointedG4160 twelveG1427, soG2443 thatG2443 they would be with Him and that He could sendG649 them outG649 to preachG2784, 15and to haveG2192 authorityG1849 to castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140. 16And He appointedG4160 the twelveG1427: 6SimonG4613 (to whom He gaveG2007 the nameG3686 PeterG4074), 177JamesG2385 the son of ZebedeeG2199 and JohnG2491 the brotherG80 of 8JamesG2385 (to them He gaveG2007 the nameG3686 BoanergesG993, whichG3739 meansG1510, “SonsG5207 of ThunderG1027”); 18and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376, BartholomewG918, MatthewG3102, ThomasG2381, 9JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, ThaddaeusG2280, and SimonG4613 the 10ZealotG2581; 19and JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, whoG3739 alsoG2532 betrayedG3860 Him.

20And He cameG2064 1112homeG3624, and the 13crowdG3793 gatheredG4905 againG3825, 14toG5620 suchG5620 anG5620 extentG5620 thatG5620 they couldG1410 not evenG3366 eatG2068 15a mealG740. 21And when 16His own 17people heardG191 about this, they cameG1831 outG1831 to takeG2902 custodyG2902 of Him; for they were sayingG3004, “18He has lostG1839 His sensesG1839.” 22The scribesG1122 who cameG2597 downG2597 19from JerusalemG2414 were sayingG3004, “He 20is possessedG2192 by 2122BeelzebulG954,” and “23He castsG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 2324And so He calledG4341 them to Himself and began speakingG3004 to them in 25parablesG3850: “HowG4459 canG1410 26SatanG4567 castG1544 outG1544 SatanG4567? 24And ifG1437 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. 26And ifG1487 27SatanG4567 has risenG450 upG450 againstG1909 himselfG1438 and is dividedG3307, he cannotG1410G3756 standG2476, but 28he is finishedG5056! 2729But noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 enterG1525 the strongG2478 man’sG2478 houseG3614 and plunderG1283 his propertyG4632 unlessG1437G3361 he firstG4413 tiesG1210 upG1210 the strongG2478 manG2478, and thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614.

28“30TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 sinsG265 will be forgivenG863 the sonsG5207 and daughters of menG444, and whateverG3745G1437 blasphemiesG987G988 they commitG987; 29but 31whoeverG3739G302 blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 neverG3756G1519G165 hasG2192 forgivenessG859, but is guiltyG1777 of an eternalG166 sinG265”-- 30becauseG3754 they were sayingG3004, “He hasG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151.”

3132ThenG2532 His motherG3384 and His brothersG80 cameG2064, and while standingG4739 outsideG1854 they sentG649 word to Him, callingG2564 for Him. 32And a crowdG3793 was sittingG2521 aroundG4012 Him, and they saidG3004 to Him, “BeholdG2400, Your motherG3384 and Your brothersG80 are outsideG1854 lookingG2212 forG2212 You.” 33AnsweringG611 them, He saidG3004, “WhoG5101 are My motherG3384 and My brothersG80?” 34And lookingG4017 aroundG4017 at thoseG3588 who were sittingG2521 aroundG4012G2945 Him, He saidG3004, “33HereG2396 areG2396 My motherG3384 and My brothersG80! 35For whoeverG3739G302 34doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, thisG3778 is My brotherG80, and sisterG79, and motherG3384.”
