1 Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν συναγωγήν, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα,
2 In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
καὶ παρετήρουν αὐτὸν εἰ τοῖς σάββασιν θεραπεύσει αὐτὸν ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
3 Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
καὶ λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ ἔχοντι· εἰς τὸ μέσον.
4 And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν ποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀποκτεῖναι; οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων.
5 Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.
καὶ περιβλεψάμενος αὐτοὺς μετ᾽ ὀργῆς, συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα σου. καὶ ἐξέτεινεν, καὶ ἀπεκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ὑγιὴς ὡς ἡ ἄλλη.
6 At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
Καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εὐθὺς μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν συμβούλιον κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
7 So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,
Καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ πολὺ πλῆθος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας αὐτῷ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας
8 Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.
καὶ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰδουμαίας καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου καὶ οἱ περὶ Τύρον καὶ Σιδῶνα, πλῆθος πολὺ ὅσα ἐποίει ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
9 Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.
Καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον ἵνα μὴ θλίβωσιν αὐτόν.
10 For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.
πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐθεράπευσεν ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψωνται ὅσοι εἶχον μάστιγας.
11 And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
καὶ τὰ πνεύματα τὰ ἀκάθαρτα, ὅταν αὐτὸν αὐτῷ καὶ ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
12 But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
καὶ πολλὰ ἐπετίμα αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ αὐτὸν φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν.
13 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
Καὶ ἀναβαίνει εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ προσκαλεῖται οὓς ἤθελεν αὐτός, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
14 He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
Καὶ ἐποίησεν δώδεκα ἵνα ὦσιν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν
15 and to have authority to drive out demons.
καὶ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν θεραπεύειν τὰς νόσους καὶ ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια.
16 These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρον,
17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανηργές, ὅ ἐστιν υἱοὶ βροντῆς·
18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
καὶ Ἀνδρέαν καὶ Φίλιππον καὶ Βαρθολομαῖον καὶ Μαθθαῖον καὶ Θωμᾶν καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου καὶ Θαδδαῖον καὶ Σίμωνα τὸν Καναναῖον
19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριὼθ ὃς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν.
20 Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
Καὶ εἰς οἶκον, καὶ συνέρχεται πάλιν ὄχλος ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἄρτον φαγεῖν.
21 When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθον κρατῆσαι αὐτόν· ἔλεγον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξέστη.
22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες ἔλεγον ὅτι Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει καὶ ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.
23 So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· πῶς δύναται σατανᾶς σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλειν;
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
καὶ ἐὰν βασιλεία ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ δύναται σταθῆναι ἡ βασιλεία ἐκείνη·
25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
καὶ ἐὰν οἰκία ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὴν μερισθῇ, οὐ ἡ οἰκία ἐκείνη
26 And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
καὶ εἰ ὁ σατανᾶς ἀνέστη ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐ δύναται ἀλλὰ τέλος ἔχει.
27 Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
οὐ δύναται οὐδεὶς τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ διαρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον τὸν ἰσχυρὸν δήσῃ, καὶ τότε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει.
28 Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πάντα ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ βλασφημίαι βλασφημήσωσιν·
29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
ὃς δ᾽ ἂν βλασφημήσῃ εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, οὐκ ἔχει ἄφεσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλ᾽ ἔνοχός ἐστιν αἰωνίου
30 Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
ὅτι ἔλεγον· πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει.
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἔξω ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν αὐτόν.
32 and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers are outside, asking for You.”
καὶ ἐκάθητο ὄχλος, δὲ αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἔξω ζητοῦσίν σε.
33 But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
Καὶ αὐτοῖς τίς ἐστιν ἡ μήτηρ μου οἱ ἀδελφοί μου;
34 Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
καὶ περιβλεψάμενος τοὺς περὶ αὐτὸν κύκλῳ καθημένους λέγει· ἴδε ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου.
35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”
ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποιήσῃ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, οὗτος ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀδελφὴ μου καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν.
