And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
|
2
|
And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him.
|
3
|
And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.
|
4
|
And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.
|
5
|
And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.
|
6
|
And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
|
7
|
But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea,
|
8
|
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him.
|
9
|
And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
|
10
|
For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.
|
11
|
And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying: Thou art the Son of God.
|
12
|
And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known.
|
13
|
And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him.
|
14
|
And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.
|
15
|
And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.
|
16
|
And to Simon he gave the name Peter:
|
17
|
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder.
|
18
|
And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananean:
|
19
|
And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And they come to a house,
|
20
|
And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
|
21
|
And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.
|
22
|
And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
|
23
|
And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?
|
24
|
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
|
25
|
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
|
26
|
And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.
|
27
|
No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house.
|
28
|
Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme:
|
29
|
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.
|
30
|
Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit.
|
31
|
And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
|
32
|
And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
|
33
|
And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?
|
34
|
And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
|
35
|
For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
