- But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
- And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
- And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
- For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
- And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
|
- Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
- When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.
- Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.
- For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.
- Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
|
- And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
- And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
- And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
- And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
- And Simon he surnamed Peter;
|
- But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was.
- Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.
- He appointed twelve--designating them apostles--that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach
- and to have authority to drive out demons.
- These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter
|
- And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
- And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
- And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
- And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
- And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
|
- James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder
- Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot
- and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
- Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.
- When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
|
- And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
- And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
- And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
- And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
- And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
|
- And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."
- So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
- If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
- If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
- And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
|
- No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
- Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
- But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
- Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
- There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
|
- In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house.
- I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them.
- But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
- He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."
- Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.
|
- And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
- And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
- And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
- For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
|
- A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you."
- "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked.
- Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!
- Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
