Marcos 3

Pinagaling ang Lalaking Paralisado ang Isang Kamay

(Mt. 12:9-14; Lu. 6:6-11)

1 Muling pumasok si Jesus sa sinagoga. Naratnan niya roon ang isang lalaking paralisado ang isang kamay. 2 May ilang taong naroroon at inaabangan kung pagagalingin ni Jesus ang lalaking iyon sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, upang may maiparatang sila laban sa kanya. 3 Tinawag ni Jesus ang lalaking paralisado ang kamay, “Halika rito!”

4 Pagkatapos, tinanong naman niya ang mga tao, “Alin ba ang naaayon sa Kautusan, ang gumawa ng mabuti, o ang gumawa ng masama sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? Ang magligtas ng buhay, o ang pumatay?”
Ngunit sila'y hindi sumagot. 5 Tiningnan ni Jesus ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya. Galit at lungkot ang naramdaman niya dahil sa katigasan ng kanilang mga puso. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa maysakit, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay.” Iniunat naman ng lalaki ang kanyang kamay at ito'y gumaling.

6 Umalis ang mga Pariseo at agad nakipagsabwatan sa mga tagasunod ni Herodes upang maipapatay si Jesus.

Ang Napakaraming Tao sa Tabi ng Lawa

12 Ngunit mahigpit silang inutusan ni Jesus na huwag ipagsabi kung sino siya.

Ang Pagpili ni Jesus sa Labindalawang Apostol

(Mt. 10:1-4; Lu. 6:12-16)

19 at si Judas Iscariote na siyang nagkanulo kay Jesus.

Si Jesus at si Beelzebul

(Mt. 12:22-32; Lu. 11:14-23; 12:10)

21 Nang mabalitaan iyon ng kanyang mga kasambahay, sila'y pumaroon upang sawayin siyat dahil sinasabi ng mga tao na siya'y nasisiraan ng bait.

22 Sinasabit naman ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na galing sa Jerusalem, “Sinasapian siya ni Beelzebul. Nakapagpapalayas siya ng demonyo sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng pinuno ng mga demonyo!”
23 Dahil dito, pinalapit ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila ang ilang talinhaga. Sabi niya, “Paanong mapapalayas ni Satanas ang kanyang sarili? 24 Kapag naglaban-laban ang mga mamamayan ng isang kaharian, hindi magtatagal, mawawasak ang kahariang iyon. 25 Kapag naglaban-laban naman ang mga magkakasambahay, hindi rin magtatagal ang sambahayang iyon.

26 Gayundin naman, kapag naghimagsik si Satanas laban sa kanyang sarili at magkabaha-bahagi ang kanyang nasasakupan, hindi magtatagal at darating ang kanyang wakas.
27 “Subalit hindi maaaring pasukin at pagnakawan ang bahay ng isang taong malakas malibang gapusin muna siya. Kapag siya'y nakagapos na, saka pa lamang mapagnanakawan ang kanyang bahay. 28 Tandaan ninyo ito: maaaring patawarin ang tao sa lahat ng kanyang kasalanan at paglapastangan, 29 ngunitt ang sinumang lumapastangan sa Espiritu Santo ay walang kapatawaran, sapagkat ito ay walang hanggang kasalanan.”

30 Sinabi ito ni Jesus sapagkat sinasabi ng mga tao na siya'y sinasapian ng masamang espiritu.

Ang Ina at mga Kapatid ni Jesus

(Mt. 12:46-50; Lu. 8:19-21)

32 Nang oras na iyon ay maraming taong nakaupo sa palibot ni Jesus. May nagsabi sa kanya, “Nasa labas po at naghihintay ang inyong ina at mga kapatid.”
33 “Sino ang aking ina at mga kapatid?” tanong naman ni Jesus. 34 Tumingin siya sa mga nakaupo sa palibot at sinabi, “Sila ang aking ina at mga kapatid! 35 Sapagkat ang sinumang sumusunod sa kalooban ng Diyos ay siyang aking ina at mga kapatid.”

MARK 3

A Man with a Paralyzed Hand

(Matthew 12.9-14; Luke 6.6-11)

1 The next time Jesus went into the synagogue, a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

2 The Phariseest wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong, and they kept watching to see if Jesus would heal him on the Sabbath.
3 Jesus told the man to stand up where everyone could see him.

4 Then he asked, “On the Sabbath should we do good deeds or evil deeds? Should we save someone's life or destroy it?” But no one said a word.

5 Jesus was angry as he looked around at the people. Yet he felt sorry for them because they were so stubborn. Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his bad hand was healed.

6 The Pharisees left. And at once they started making plans with Herod's followerst to kill Jesus.

Large Crowds Come to Jesus

9 t He even had to tell his disciples to get a boat ready to keep him from being crushed by the crowds.
10 After Jesus had healed many people, the other sick people begged him to let them touch him. 11 And whenever any evil spirits saw Jesus, they would fall to the ground and shout, “You are the Son of God!”

12 But Jesus warned the spirits not to tell who he was.

Jesus Chooses //His Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10.1-4; Luke 6.12-16)

19 and Judas Iscariot, t who later betrayed Jesus.

Jesus and the Ruler //of Demons

(Matthew 12.22-32; Luke 11.14-23; 12.10)

21 When Jesus' family heard what he was doing, they thought he was crazy and went to get him under control.

22  t Some teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem and said, “This man is under the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons! He is even forcing out demons with the help of Beelzebul.”

23 Jesus told the people to gather around him. Then he spoke to them in riddles and said:
How can Satan force himself out? 24 A nation whose people fight each other won't last very long. 25 And a family that fights won't last long either.

26 So if Satan fights against himself, that will be the end of him.

27 How can anyone break into the house of a strong man and steal his things, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can take everything.
28 I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are.

29 t But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven. That sin will be held against you forever.

30 Jesus said this because the people were saying that he had an evil spirit in him.

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

(Matthew 12.46-50; Luke 8.19-21)

32 The crowd sitting around Jesus told him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisterst are outside and want to see you.”
33 Jesus asked, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?” 34 Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 35 Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother.”
