Mark 3:1-15 ▼

1 And he entred againe into ye Synagogue, & there was a man which had a withered had.

2 And they watched him, whether he would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

3 Then he saide vnto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the middes.

4 And he saide to them, Is it lawfull to doe a good deede on the Sabbath day, or to doe euil? to saue the life, or to kil? But they held their peace.

5 Then hee looked rounde about on them angerly, mourning also for the hardnesse of their hearts, and saide to the man, Stretch foorth thine hand; he stretched it out: and his hande was restored, as whole as the other.

6 And the Pharises departed, & straightway gathered a councill with the Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.

7 But Iesus auoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galile, and from Iudea,

8 And from Ierusalem, & from Idumea, and beyonde Iordan: and they that dwelled about Tyrus & Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him in great number.

9 And he commanded his disciples, that a litle shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, lest they shoulde throng him.

10 For hee had healed many, in so much that they preassed vpon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.

11 And when the vncleane spirits sawe him, they fel downe before him, & cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne of God.

12 And he sharply rebuked them, to the ende they should not vtter him.

13 Then hee went vp into a mountaine, and called vnto him whome he woulde, and they came vnto him.

14 And hee appoynted twelue that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preache,

15 And that they might haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuils.
