Marcos 3

1 Y OTRA vez entró en la sinagoga; y había allí un hombre que tenía una mano seca.2 Y le acechaban si en sábado le sanaría, para acusarle.3 Entonces dijo al hombre que tenía la mano seca: Levántate en medio.4 Y les dice: ¿Es lícito hacer bien en sábado, ó hacer mal? ¿salvar la vida, ó quitarla? Mas ellos callaban.5 Y mirándolos alrededor con enojo, condoleciéndose de la ceguedad de su corazón, dice al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y la extendió, y su mano fué restituída sana.6 Entonces saliendo los Fariseos, tomaron consejo con los Herodianos contra él, para matarle.7 Mas Jesús se apartó á la mar con sus discípulos: y le siguió gran multitud de Galilea, y de Judea.8 Y de Jerusalem, y de Idumea, y de la otra parte del Jordán. Y los de alrededor de Tiro y de Sidón, grande multitud, oyendo cuán grandes cosas hacía, vinieron á él.9 Y dijo á sus discípulos que le estuviese siempre apercibida la barquilla, por causa del gentío, para que no le oprimiesen.10 Porque había sanado á muchos; de manera que caían sobre él cuantos tenían plagas, por tocarle.11 Y los espíritus inmundos, al verle, se postraban delante de él, y daban voces, diciendo: Tú eres el Hijo de Dios.12 Mas él les reñía mucho que no le manifestasen.

13 Y subió al monte, y llamó á sí á los que él quiso; y vinieron á él.

14 Y estableció doce, para que estuviesen con él, y para enviarlos á predicar.

15 Y que tuviesen potestad de sanar enfermedades, y de echar fuera demonios:

16 A Simón, al cual puso por nombre Pedro;

17 Y á Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y á Juan hermano de Jacobo; y les apellidó Boanerges, que es, Hijos del trueno;

18 Y á Andrés, y á Felipe, y á Bartolomé, y á Mateo, y á Tomas, y á Jacobo hijo de Alfeo, y á Tadeo, y á Simón el Cananita,

19 Y á Judas Iscariote, el que le entregó. Y vinieron á casa.

20 Y agolpóse de nuevo la gente, de modo que ellos ni aun podían comer pan.

21 Y como lo oyeron los suyos, vinieron para prenderle: porque decían: Está fuera de sí.

22 Y los escribas que habían venido de Jerusalem, decían que tenía á Beelzebub, y que por el príncipe de los demonios echaba fuera los demonios.

23 Y habiéndolos llamado, les decía en parábolas: ¿Cómo puede Satanás echar fuera á Satanás?

24 Y si algún reino contra sí mismo fuere dividido, no puede permanecer el tal reino.

25 Y si alguna casa fuere dividida contra sí misma, no puede permanecer la tal casa.

26 Y si Satanás se levantare contra sí mismo, y fuere dividido, no puede permanecer; antes tiene fin.

27 Nadie puede saquear las alhajas del valiente entrando en su casa, si antes no atare al valiente y entonces saqueará su casa.

28 De cierto os digo que todos los pecados serán perdonados á los hijos de los hombres, y las blasfemias cualesquiera con que blasfemaren;

29 Mas cualquiera que blasfemare contra el Espíritu Santo, no tiene jamás perdón, mas está expuesto á eterno juicio.

30 Porque decían: Tiene espíritu inmundo.

31 Vienen después sus hermanos y su madre, y estando fuera, enviaron á él llamándole.

32 Y la gente estaba sentada alrededor de él, y le dijeron: He aquí, tu madre y tus hermanos te buscan fuera.

33 Y él les respondió, diciendo: ¿Quién es mi madre y mis hermanos?

34 Y mirando á los que estaban sentados alrededor de él, dijo: He aquí mi madre y hermanos.

35 Porque cualquiera que hiciere la voluntad de Dios, éste es mi hermano, y mi hermana, y mi madre.

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


7 Jesus led his disciples down to the shore of the lake. Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Judea, 8 and Jerusalem. People came from Idumea, as well as other places east of the Jordan River. They also came from the region around the towns of Tyre and Sidon. All of these crowds came because they had heard what Jesus was doing.

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)


13 Jesus decided to ask some of his disciples to go up on a mountain with him, and they went. 14 Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles, t so they could be with him. He also wanted to send them out to preach 15 and to force out demons. 16 Simon was one of the twelve, and Jesus named him Peter. 17 There were also James and John, the two sons of Zebedee. Jesus called them Boanerges, which means “Thunderbolts.” 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus were also apostles. The others were Simon, known as the Eager One, t

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)


20 Jesus went back home, t and once again such a large crowd gathered that there was no chance even to eat.

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)


31 Jesus' mother and brothers came and stood outside. Then they sent someone with a message for him to come out to them.

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.”
