Mark 3:3-15

3He said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up here in the center.”

4Then He said to them, “Is it permitted on Shabbat to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

5After looking around at them with anger, grieved by their hardness of heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

6The Pharisees went out right away with the Herodians and began plotting against Him, how they might destroy Him.

7Yeshua withdrew to the sea with His disciples, and a large crowd from the Galilee followed. From Judea,

8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing all He was doing, came to Him.

9He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t mob Him.

10For He had healed many, so that all those afflicted fell down before Him in order to touch Him.

11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, would fall down before Him and cry out, “You are Ben-Elohim!”

12But Yeshua strictly ordered them not to make Him known.

13Now He climbs up on the mountain and calls those He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

14He appointed twelve (whom He also named emissaries), so that they might be with Him and He might send them to proclaim the Good News,

15and to have power to drive out demons.
