Mark 3:21-35

21And when 1His own 2people heardG191 about this, they cameG1831 outG1831 to takeG2902 custodyG2902 of Him; for they were sayingG3004, “3He has lostG1839 His sensesG1839.” 22The scribesG1122 who cameG2597 downG2597 4from JerusalemG2414 were sayingG3004, “He 5is possessedG2192 by 67BeelzebulG954,” and “8He castsG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 239And so He calledG4341 them to Himself and began speakingG3004 to them in 10parablesG3850: “HowG4459 canG1410 11SatanG4567 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 12SatanG4567 has risenG450 upG450 againstG1909 himselfG1438 and is dividedG3307, he cannotG1410G3756 standG2476, but 13he is finishedG5056! 2714But 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“15TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 sinsG265 will be forgivenG863 the sonsG5207 and daughters of menG444, and whateverG3745G1437 blasphemiesG987G988 they commitG987; 29but 16whoeverG3739G302 blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 neverG3756G1519G165 hasG2192 forgivenessG859, but is guiltyG1777 of an eternalG166 sinG265”-- 30becauseG3754 they were sayingG3004, “He hasG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151.”

3117ThenG2532 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, “18HereG2396 areG2396 My motherG3384 and My brothersG80! 35For whoeverG3739G302 19doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, thisG3778 is My brotherG80, and sisterG79, and motherG3384.”
