- Kapitel 3 -

(Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11)
1
Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.
2
In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
3
Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.”
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.
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.
6
At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes

(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)
7
So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,
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.
9
Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.
10
For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.
11
And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
12
But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.

The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)
13
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
14
He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles,(a) to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
15
and to have authority to drive out demons.
16
These are the twelve He appointed: Simon (whom He named Peter),
17
James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),
18
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,(b)
19
and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.(c)

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)
20
Then Jesus went home,(d) and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.
21
When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”
22
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,(e)and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
23
So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
24
If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
25
If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.
26
And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.
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.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Matthew 12:31–32)
28
Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter.
29
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
30
Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

(Matthew 12:46–50; Luke 8:19–21)
31
Then Jesusmother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him,
32
and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers (f) are outside, asking for You.”
33
But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34
Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!
35
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”

(Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11)
1
He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there whose hand was withered.
2
They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
3
He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up.”
4
He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5
When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
6
The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes

(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)
7
Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
8
from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
9
He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.
10
For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
11
The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!”
12
He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)
13
He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
14
He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach
15
and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
16
Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
17
James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder);
18
Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
19
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)
20
The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21
When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.”
22
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
23
He summoned them and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26
If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.
27
But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Matthew 12:31–32)
28
“Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
29
but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.” (a)
30
because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

(Matthew 12:46–50; Luke 8:19–21)
31
His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32
A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters(b) are outside looking for you.”
33
He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
34
Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
35
For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”
