Mark Chapter 3

Mark 3

Jesus prove to keepers of Torah, that doing good on Sabbath-day cannot be condemned

1 Again, He enters into a synagogue, and a man had been there, who have a dried hand.

2. and they closely watch Him, at least to accuse Him, if He will offer therapy service of healing (therapeuo) to him on the Sabbath-day. 

3. And He tells the man who {have his hand} withered, rise up in the middle.

4. And He asked them, is it lawful on Sabbath to be a well-doer, or a bad-doers? To save souls, or to kill? But there was a hush/muteness.

5. So, He looks all around them with anger, and being grieved upon the callousness of their hearts, He tells the man, stretch out your hand, and he stretches it out, and his hand was restored [healthy as the other] 

6. And immediately, the Pharisees with the Herodians (Herod partisans),  proceeds to give the counsel against Him, on how to fully-destroy Him.

Many people troop after Jesus 

7. And Jesus with His disciples, withdraw toward the sea; And very many multitude, away from Galilee, and from Judea, follow Him. 

8. And many multitude, who have heard as many things as He had done, from Jerusalem, and Idumea (Edom/region east and south of Palestine), and across the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, come towards Him.

9. And He tells His disciples, at least, a boat should continually serve Him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng on Him.

Demons are forbidden to preach but are to be cast out

10. No doubt, as many that have diseases, fall upon Him, at least to touch Him. In so much that very many were ministered healing-therapy to. 

11. And when the unclean spirits see Him, they prostrated to Him, and scream, saying; You are the Son of God.

12. And He, forbid  many of them doing it, at least not to manifest. 

Twelve Apostles are chosen by Jesus

13. And as He goes up unto a mountain, He invited those whom He has chosen; and they go aside toward Him.

14. And He makes twelve {whom He named the Apostles (the SENT)}, at least to be with Him, and at least to send them out to preach. 

15. And to have Authority to cast out demons, *and to heal the sick*. 

16. and He made the twelve; and imposed a name, Peter (to) Simon;

17. And James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James; and to them, He imposed a name Boanerges which is sons of thundering noise. 

18. And Andrew, and Phillip (fond of horses) and Bar-Tholomeous and Matthew, and Thomas (twins), and James, a son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the zealous,

19. and Judah Iscariot (inhabitants of kerioth), who even betrayed Him.

@home in capernaum, the house was jam-packed, but Jesus' family  were yet to believe in Him

20. And He comes into the house, and multitudes again convened, such that, they can not even eat, any loaf of bread.

21. And it was heard, that those who are very close to Him (Jesus family), are coming forth to use strength to seize Him; because they said, He is out of His mind.

Jesus educated and warned the Scribes for sinning against the spirit

22. And  the Scribes from Jerusalem, came down, to say, He has belzeebulb (a deity of Ekronite); and cast out demons by the chief-ruler of demons. 

23. And He calls them near, telling them in parable, how is it possible for satan to be casting out satans'?

24. And if a kingdom is divided upon itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25. And if a household is disunited upon itself, that household cannot stand.

26. And if satans' stand up upon themselves and disunites to have an end-goal, they cannot stand. 

27. But, no one will enter into the house of a valiant-man, to plunder his equipment, except he has first bind the valiant-man, and then, he will be able to plunder his house.

28. I tell you, and so shall it be, the Son will forgive/let-go of all the sins and blasphemies of men, as much as in case, they blaspheme. 

29. But, whoever possibly blaspheme unto the Holy Spirit, does not have freedom/forgiveness unto the ages, but he is guilty of eternal sin --

30. - because, they said, He has unclean spirit.

The Mother and Brothers of Jesus are yet to believe in Him

31. And His mother, and His brethren come, standing outside, and send toward Him, to call Him;

32. And the crowd sit down around Him. And they told Him, behold, your mother, and your brothers, and your sister, are seeking for you outside.

33. And He answers them, by asking, where are my mothers and brethren?

34. And He looked all around to those sitting down in a circle around Him, and said, see, my mothers, and my brethren!

35. Whoever possibly do the desire of God, those are my brothers, my sisters and my mothers.
