Mark 3:21-35

21But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.”

22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”

23So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?

24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

27No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

28“Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;

29but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”—

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

31Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

32And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.”

33But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”

34And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

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