Battering Ram (Mark) 3

1 Again He entered the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

2 They watched Him, to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse Him.

3 So He said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up.

4 He said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 Then He looked round-about them with anger, grieved with the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man: Stretch out your hand. He stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6 The Separate (Pharisees) went out and took counsel with the Herocians (Herodians) against Him, how they might destroy Him.

7 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Circuit-District (Galilee) and from Land of Praise (Judaea) followed Him,

8 And from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and from Red (Idumaea-Edom), and from beyond The Descender (Jordan); and those from A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), a great multitude, when they had heard what great things He did, came to Him.

9 He asked His disciples for a small ship to sit in because of the multitude, lest they should throng Him.

10 Because He had healed many; insomuch that they pressed Him to touch Him, as many as had plagues.

11 Even unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried, saying: You are the Son of God.

12 And He immediately rebuked them that they should not make Him known.

13 Then He went up into a mountain and called to Him those He had chosen: and they came to Him.

14 There He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach,

15 And to have the power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.

16 He surnamed Heard (Simon), Stone (Peter).

17 And Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift (Zebedee), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the brother of Supplanter (James); and He surnamed them Boanerges, which is, Sons of Thunder:

18 Manly (Andrew), Horse Lover (Philip), Son of Plowman (Bartholomew), Gift of I AM (Matthew), Twin (Thomas), Supplanter (James) the son of Changing (Alphaeus), Courageous (Thaddaeus), Heard (Simon) the Humbled One (Canaanite),

19 And Praise (Judas) Man of the City (Iscariot), who also betrayed Him: from there, they went into a house.

20 And the multitude came together again so that they could not so much as eat.

21 When His family heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him: for they said: He is beside Himself.

22 The scribes who came down from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) said: He has Lord of the House (Beelzebub), and by the prince of the devils He casts out devils.

23 He called them to Himself, and spoke to them in parables: How can Adversary (Satan) cast out Adversary (Satan)?

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Adversary (Satan) revolts against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand but has an end.

27 No man can enter a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, unless he  first binds the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

28 Truly I say to you: All sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith whomsoever they will blaspheme:

29 But he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness. He is in danger of eternal damnation:

30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

31 Then His brethren and His mother, standing outside, sent A message to Him, calling Him.

32 The multitude sitting around Him said to Him: Look, Your mother and Your brothers outside are asking for You.

33 He answered them: Who is My mother, or My brother?

34 HHe looked around Him and said: Behold My mother and My brothers!

35 For whosoever will do the will of God, the same is My brother, and My sister, and mother.
