1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Shabbat [rest] day; that they might accuse him. 3And he says unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 4And he says unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the Shabbat [rest] days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he says unto the man, Stretch forth yourⁱ hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 6And the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] went forth, and immediately took counsel with the Herod [heroic]’s Party against him, how they might destroy him.

7But Yeshua [God is Salvation]withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galil [circuit, district] followed him, and from Y’hudah [praised], 8And from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and from Edom (Idumaea) [red], and [from] beyond Yarden [descender]; and they about Tzor [a rock] and Tzidon [hunting], a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. 9And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. 10For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. 11And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, youⁱ are the Son of God-The Father! 12And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

13And he goes up into a mountain, and calls [unto him] whom he would: and they came unto him. 14And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out demons: 16And Shim’on [he has heard] he surnamed Kefa [pebble]; 17And Ya’akov [heal-grabber] the [son] of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the brother of Ya’akov [heal-grabber]; and he surnamed them B’nei-Regesh [sons of thunder], which is, The sons of thunder: 18And Andrew [of a man], and Philip [friend of horses], and Bartholomew, and Mattityahu [gift of Yah], and T’oma [twin], and Ya’akov [heal-grabber] Bar-Halfai [son of “changing”], and Taddai [possib. Heart], and Shim’on [he has heard] the Kena’ani [Merchants], 19And Y’hudah [praised] From K’riot [cities], which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

20And the multitude comes together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22And the Torah-teachers (Scribes) which came down from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] said, He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the demons casts he out demons. 23And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan [the adversary] cast out Satan [the adversary]? 24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan [the adversary] rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil (plunder; prey; booty) his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil (plunder; prey; booty) his house.

28Truly I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies which soever they shall blaspheme: 29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 30Because they said, He has an unclean Spirit [Ruach].

31There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, youⁱ mother and yourⁱ brethren without seek for youⁱ. 33And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 34And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35For whosoever shall do the will of God-Theos, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
