ULT MARK Chapter 3

3 And he entered into a synagogue again, and there was a man there having a withered hand. 2 And they were watching him closely, if he will heal him on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he says to the man having the withered hand, “Get up in the midst.” 4 And he says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good or to do harm; to save a life or to kill?” But they were keeping silent. 5 And having looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their heart, he says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 And having gone out, the Pharisees immediately were making counsel with the Herodians against him so that they might destroy him.

7 And Jesus, with his disciples, withdrew to the sea, and a great multitude followed from Galilee and from Judea 8 and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. A great crowd, hearing how much he was doing, came to him. 9 And he spoke to his disciples so that a small boat might be waiting for him because of the crowd, so that they might not press against him. 10 For he healed many, so then as many as had diseases pressed against him so that they might touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they were falling down before him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God.” 12 And he was often rebuking them so that they might not make him known.

13 And he goes up on the mountain and summons those whom he himself wanted, and they went to him. 14 And he appointed 12 (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and so that he might send them to preach 15 and to have authority to cast out the demons. 16 And he appointed the Twelve[fn], and he added to Simon the name Peter; 17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, to whom he also added the name Boanerges, that is, 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 Cananaios 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also handed him over.

20 And he comes into a house, and the crowd gathers together again, so that they are not able even to eat bread. 21 And the ones beside him, having heard about it, went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” 22 And the scribes having come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He has Beelzebul” and “By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.” 23 But having called them to himself, in parables he was saying to them, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom has been divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand. 25 And if a house has been divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan rose up against himself and was divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end. 27 But no one is able, having entered into the house of the strong man, to steal his possessions if he has not first bound the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. 28 Truly I say to you that all the sins of the sons of men will be forgiven, even the blasphemies, whatever they may blaspheme, 29 but whoever has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness to eternity but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

31 And his mother and his brothers come, and standing outside, they sent to him, summoning him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they say to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers seek you outside.” 33 And answering them, he says, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And having looked around at the ones sitting in a circle around him, he says, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, this is my brother and sister and mother.”

Some ancient manuscripts do not include he appointed the Twelve
