1On another occasion when he went to synagogue, there was a man in the congregation who had a withered arm;
2and they were watching to see whether Jesus would heal him on the sabbath, so that they could bring a charge against him.
3He said to the man with the withered arm, “Come and stand out here.”
4Then he turned to them: “Is it permitted to do good or to do evil on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?” They had nothing to say;
5and, looking round at them with anger and sorrow at their obstinate stupidity, he said to the man, “Stretch out your arm.” He stretched it out and his arm was restored.
6Then the Pharisees, on leaving the synagogue, at once began plotting with the men of Herod's party to bring about Jesus's death.
7JESUS went away to the lakeside with his disciples. Great numbers from Galilee, Judaea
8and Jerusalem, Idumaea and Transjordan, and the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon, heard what he was doing and came to him.
9So he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him, to save him from being crushed by the crowd.
10For he healed so many that the sick all came crowding round to touch him.
11The unclean spirits too, when they saw him, would fall at his feet and cry aloud, “You are the Son of God”;
12but he insisted that they should not make him known.
13Then he went up into the hill-country and summoned the men he wanted; and they came and joined him.
14He appointed twelve to be his companions, and to be sent out to proclaim the gospel,
15with authority to drive out demons.
16The Twelve he appointed were: Simon, whom he named Peter;
17the sons of Zebedee, James and his brother John, whom he named Boanerges, Sons of Thunder;
18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19and Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed him. He entered a house,
20and once more such a crowd collected round them that they had no chance even to eat.
21When his family heard about it they set out to take charge of him. “He is out of his mind,” they said.
22The scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”
23So he summoned them, and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand;
25if a household is divided against itself, that house cannot stand;
26and if Satan is divided and rebels against himself, he cannot stand, and that is the end of him.
27“On the other hand, no one can break into a strong man's house and make off with his goods unless he has first tied up the strong man; then he can ransack the house.
28“Truly I tell you: every sin and every slander can be forgiven;
29but whoever slanders the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.”
30He said this because they had declared that he was possessed by an unclean spirit.
31Then his mother and his brothers arrived; they stayed outside and sent in a message asking him to come out to them.
32A crowd was sitting round him when word was brought that his mother and brothers were outside asking for him.
33“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he replied.
34And looking round at those who were sitting in the circle about him he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.
35Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
