MARKUS 3

Die man met die verdorde hand.

(Mt. 12:9-14 en ooreenk. pl.)

1 EN tHy het weer in tdie sinagoge gegaan, en dáár was ’n man met ’n verdorde hand.

2 En hulle het Hom in die oog gehou, of Hy hom op die sabbat gesond sou maak, sodat hulle Hom kon aanklae.

3 En Hy sê vir die man met die verdorde hand: Staan op in hul midde.

4 Daarop sê Hy vir hulle: Is dit geoorloof om op die sabbat goed of kwaad te doen, ’n lewe te red of dood te maak? Maar hulle het stilgebly.

5 En nadat Hy hulle rondom met toorn aangekyk het en tegelykertyd bedroef was oor die hardheid van hulle hart, sê Hy vir die man: Steek jou hand uit! En hy het dit uitgesteek, en sy hand is herstel, gesond soos die ander een.

6 Toe gaan die Fariseërs uit en hou dadelik raad met tdie Herodiane teen Hom, sodat hulle Hom sou kan ombring.

7  tEn Jesus het met sy dissipels teruggegaan na die see toe, ten ’n groot menigte het Hom gevolg uit Galiléa en Judéa

8 en Jerusalem en tIduméa en van oorkant die Jordaan af. En die wat om tTirus en Sidon gewoon het, ’n groot menigte, het na Hom gekom toe hulle hoor wat Hy alles doen.

9 En Hy het aan sy dissipels gesê dat ’n skuitjie altyd vir Hom moes klaar lê vanweë die skare, sodat hulle Hom nie miskien sou verdring nie.

10 Want Hy het baie gesond gemaak, sodat almal wat vol kwale was, op Hom toegeloop het om Hom aan te raak.

11 En elke keer as die onreine geeste Hom sien, het hulle voor Hom neergeval en geskreeu en gesê: U is die Seun van God!

12 En tHy het hulle herhaaldelik streng gebied om Hom nie bekend te maak nie.

Roeping van die twaalf apostels.

(Mt. 10:1-4 en ooreenk. pl.)

13  tEN Hy het op die berg geklim en na Hom geroep die wat Hy wou hê, en hulle het na Hom gekom.

14 En Hy het twaalf aangestel, sodat hulle saam met Hom kon wees en Hy hulle kon uitstuur om te preek

15 en mag te hê om siektes te genees en die duiwels uit te dryf.

16  tEn aan Simon het Hy die bynaam Petrus gegee;

17 en verder Jakobus, die seun van Sebedéüs, en Johannes, die broer van Jakobus — aan hulle het Hy die bynaam tBoanérges gegee, dit is, seuns van die donder —

18 en Andréas en Filippus, en Bartholoméüs en Matthéüs, en Thomas en Jakobus, die seun van Alféüs, en Thaddéüs en Simon Kananítes,

19 en Judas Iskáriot, hy wat Hom verraai het.

Godslastering van die skrifgeleerdes.

(Lk. 11:14-23 en ooreenk. pl.)

20 EN hulle het in ’n huis gegaan, en ’n skare het weer saamgekom, tsodat hulle selfs nie brood kon eet nie.

21 Toe sy mense dit hoor, gaan hulle uit om Hom in die hande te kry; twant hulle het gesê: tHy is buite sy sinne.

22 En die skrifgeleerdes wat van Jerusalem af gekom het, het gesê: tHy het Beëlsebul! en: Deur die owerste van die duiwels dryf Hy die duiwels uit.

23 En Hy het hulle na Hom geroep ten vir hulle deur gelykenisse gesê: Hoe kan die Satan die Satan uitdryf?

24 En as ’n koninkryk teen homself verdeeld is, kan daardie koninkryk nie bly staan nie;

25 en as ’n huis teen homself verdeeld is, kan daardie huis nie bly staan nie;

26 en as die Satan teen homself opstaan en verdeeld is, kan hy nie bly staan nie, maar hy kom tot ’n einde.

27 Niemand kan in die huis van ’n sterk man ingaan en sy goed roof as hy nie eers die sterk man boei nie; en dan sal hy sy huis berowe.

28  tVoorwaar Ek sê vir julle, al die sondes sal die mensekinders vergewe word en al die lasteringe wat hulle mag uitgespreek het;

29 maar wie teen die Heilige Gees gelaster het, het geen vergifnis tot in ewigheid nie, maar is skuldig aan die ewige oordeel —

30 omdat hulle gesê het: Hy het ’n onreine gees.

Die familie van Jesus.

(Mt. 12:46-50 en ooreenk. pl.)

31  tSY broers en sy moeder het toe gekom, en terwyl hulle buite staan, stuur hulle na Hom om Hom te roep.

32 En ’n skare het rondom Hom gesit Hulle sê toe vir Hom: U moeder en u broers soek U daarbuite.

33 En Hy antwoord hulle en sê: Wie is my moeder of my broers?

34 En Hy kyk rond na die wat rondom Hom sit, en sê: Dáár is my moeder en my broers!
35 Want elkeen wat die wil van God doen, dié is my broer en my suster en moeder.

Mark 3

1  AGAIN JESUS went into a synagogue, and a man was there who had one withered hand [as the result of accident or disease].2  And [the Pharisees] kept watching Jesus [closely] to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they might get a charge to bring against Him [formally].3  And He said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up [and stand here] in the midst.4  And He said to them, Is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to take it? But they kept silence.5  And He glanced around at them with vexation and anger, grieved at the hardening of their hearts, and said to the man, Hold out your hand. He held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.6  Then the Pharisees went out and immediately held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, how they might [devise some means to] put Him to death.7  And Jesus retired with His disciples to the lake, and a great throng from Galilee followed Him. Also from Judea8  And from Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon--a vast multitude, hearing all the many things that He was doing, came to Him.9  And He told His disciples to have a little boat in [constant] readiness for Him because of the crowd, lest they press hard upon Him and crush Him.10  For He had healed so many that all who had distressing bodily diseases kept falling upon Him and pressing upon Him in order that they might touch Him.11  And the spirits, the unclean ones, as often as they might see Him, fell down before Him and kept screaming out, You are the Son of God!12  And He charged them strictly and severely under penalty again and again that they should not make Him known.13  And He went up on the hillside and called to Him [for Himself] those whom He wanted and chose, and they came to Him.14  And He appointed twelve to continue to be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach [as apostles or special messengers]15  And to have authority and power to heal the sick and to drive out demons:16  [They were] Simon, and He surnamed [him] Peter;17  James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;18  And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes],19  And Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed Him.20  Then He went to a house [probably Peter’s], but a throng came together again, so that Jesus and His disciples could not even take food.21  And when those who belonged to Him (His kinsmen) heard it, they went out to take Him by force, for they kept saying, He is out of His mind (beside Himself, deranged)!22  And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by Beelzebub, and, By [the help of] the prince of demons He is casting out demons.23  And He summoned them to Him and said to them in parables (illustrations or comparisons put beside truths to explain them), How can Satan drive out Satan?24  And if a kingdom is divided and rebelling against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.25  And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last.26  And if Satan has raised an insurrection against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is [surely] coming to an end.27  But no one can go into a strong man’s house and ransack his household goods right and left and seize them as plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may [thoroughly] plunder his house. 28  Truly and solemnly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever abusive and blasphemous things they utter;29  But whoever speaks abusively against or maliciously misrepresents the Holy Spirit can never get forgiveness, but is guilty of and is in the grasp of an everlasting trespass.30  For they persisted in saying, He has an unclean spirit.31  Then His mother and His brothers came and, standing outside, they sent word to Him, calling [for] Him.32  And a crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, Your mother and Your brothers and Your sisters are outside asking for You.33  And He replied, Who are My mother and My brothers?34  And looking around on those who sat in a circle about Him, He said, See! Here are My mother and My brothers;35  For whoever does the things God wills is My brother and sister and mother!
