| # Chapter 3
#### 1 | And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
#### 2 | And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days; that they might accuse him.
#### 3 | And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.
#### 4 | And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.
#### 5 | And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.
#### 6 | And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
#### 7 | But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea,
#### 8 | And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him.
#### 9 | And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
#### 10 | For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.
#### 11 | And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying:
#### 12 | Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known.
#### 13 | And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him.
#### 14 | And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.
#### 15 | And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.
#### 16 | And to Simon he gave the name Peter:
#### 17 | And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
#### 18 | And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananean:
#### 19 | And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
#### 20 | And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
#### 21 | And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.
#### 22 | And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
#### 23 | And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?
#### 24 | And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
#### 25 | And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
#### 26 | And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.
#### 27 | No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house.
#### 28 | Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme:
#### 29 | But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.
#### 30 | Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit.
#### 31 | And his mother and his bretheren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
#### 32 | And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
#### 33 | And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?
#### 34 | And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
#### 35 | For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
