Mark 3:20-35

20Now Jesus went home, and a crowd gathered so that they were not able to eat.

21When his family heard this they went out to restrain him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

22The experts in the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of demons he casts out demons.”

23So he called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?

24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom will not be able to stand.

25If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

26And if Satan rises against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand and his end has come.

27But no one is able to enter a strong man’s house and steal his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

28I tell you the truth, people will be forgiven for all sins, even all the blasphemies they utter.

29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin”

30(because they said, “He has an unclean spirit”).

31Then Jesus’ mother and his brothers came. Standing outside, they sent word to him, to summon him.

32A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”

33He answered them and said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”

34And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!

35For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
