3:1  Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
3:2  They were watching him to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
3:3  And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come forward.”
3:4  Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
3:5  He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
3:6  The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
3:7  Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him;
3:8  hearing all that he was doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon.
3:9  He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him,
3:10  for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.
3:11  Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, “You are the Son of God!”
3:12  But he sternly ordered them not to make him known.
3:13  He went up the mountain and called to him those whom he wanted, and they came to him.
3:14  And he appointed twelve to be with him and to be sent out to preach
3:15  and to have authority to cast out demons.
3:16  So he appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter),
3:17  James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),
3:18  and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,
3:19  and Judas Iscariot, who handed him over.
3:20  Then he went home, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.
3:21  When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, “He has gone out of his mind.”
3:22  And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.”
3:23  And he called them to him and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
3:24  If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
3:25  And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
3:26  And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come.
3:27  But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.
3:28  “Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter,
3:29  but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin”—
3:30  for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
3:31  Then his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him.
3:32  A crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.”
3:33  And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
3:34  And looking at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
3:35  Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
