== The Withered hand ==

[1] And he entered again into the [[synagogue]]; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

=== Withered hearts ===

[2] And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the [[sabbath]] day; that they might accuse him.

[3] And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, <span style="color:red">'''Stand forth.'''</span>

=== Held their peace ===

[4] And he saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Is it lawful<Ref name="exesti">{{1832}}</Ref> to do good on the sabbath days, or to do [[evil]]<Ref name="kakopoieo">{{2554}}</Ref>? to save life, or to kill<Ref name="apokteino">{{615}}</Ref>?'''</span> But they held their peace.

[5] And when he had looked round about on them with anger<Ref name="orges">{{3709}}</Ref>, being grieved<Ref name="syllypoumenos">{{4818}}</Ref> for the hardness<Ref name="hardss">{{hardss}}</Ref> of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

=== Conspired to destroy ===

[6] And the [[Pharisees]] went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

== Jesus withdrew ==

[7] But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

[8] 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.

[9] And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on<Ref name="Persevereq">{{Persevereq}}</Ref> him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

=== healed many ===

[10] For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

=== Charged spirits ===

[11] And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, '''Thou art the [[Son of God]].'''

[12] And he straitly charged<Ref name="epitimao">{{2008}}</Ref> them that they should not make him known.

=== Ordained twelve ===

[13] And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

[14] And he ordained<Ref name="epoiesen">{{4160}}</Ref> twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

[15] And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

[16] And Simon he surnamed '''Peter''';

[17] And '''James''' the son of Zebedee, and '''John''' the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

[18] And '''Andrew''', and '''Philip''', and '''Bartholomew''', and '''Matthew''', and '''Thomas''', and '''James''' the son of [[Alphaeus]], and '''Thaddaeus''', and '''Simon''' the Canaanite,

[19] And '''Judas Iscariot''', which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

=== the multitude ===

[20] And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

[21] And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

== Beelzebub divide ==

[22] And the scribes<Ref name="grammateus">{{1122}}</Ref> which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub<Ref name="Beelzeboul">{{954}}</Ref>, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out<Ref name="ekballo">{{1544}}</Ref> devils. 

[23] And he called them unto him, and said unto them in [[parables]], <span style="color:red">'''How can [[Satan]] cast out <Ref name="ekballo">{{1544}}</Ref>[[Satan]]?'''</span>

[24] <span style="color:red">'''And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.'''</span>

[25] <span style="color:red">'''And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.'''</span>

[26] <span style="color:red">'''And if [[Satan]] rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.'''</span>

[27] <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>

[28] <span style="color:red">'''Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall [[blaspheme]]:'''</span>

[29] <span style="color:red">'''But he that shall blaspheme<Ref name="blasphemeo">{{987}}</Ref> against the [[Holy Ghost]] hath never [[forgiveness]], but is in danger of eternal<Ref name="aionios">{{166}}</Ref> damnation<Ref name="krisis">{{2920}}</Ref>:'''</span>

=== they said ===

[30] Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

== Mother and brethren ==

[31] There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

[32] And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, '''Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.'''

[33] And he answered them, saying, <span style="color:red">'''Who is my mother, or my brethren?'''</span>

[34] And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, <span style="color:red">'''Behold my mother and my brethren!'''</span>

[35] <span style="color:red">'''For whosoever shall do the [[will of God]], the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'''</span><br>
