Mark 3:7-35

Bible Quote 3:7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
3:8 When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.
3:9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.
3:10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.

3:11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
3:12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was.
3:13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.
3:14 He appointed twelve--designating them apostles --that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach
3:15 and to have authority to drive out demons.

3:16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
3:17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder);
3:18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot
3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
3:20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.

3:21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
3:22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub ! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."
3:23 So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
3:24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
3:25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

3:26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
3:27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house.
3:28 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them.
3:29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
3:30 He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."

3:31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.
3:32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you."
3:33 "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked.
3:34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!
3:35 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
