And Y'shua entered again into the synagogue. And there was a man there whose hand was withered.

And they were watching him, that if he would heal him on the sabbath, they might accuse him.

And he said to that man whose hand was withered: Stand in the middle.

And he said also to them: Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to give life to a soul or to destroy? But they were silent.

And he looked at them with anger, being grieved over the hardness of their heart. And he said to that man: Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

And the Pharisees went out that very hour with the house of Herod, and took counsel against him how they might destroy him.

And Y'shua went away with his disciples to the sea. And a great people from Galila was following him, and from Yehuda,

and from Urishlim, and from Adom, and from beyond the Yordanan, and from Tsur, and from Tsidon: a great assembly who had heard all that he did came to him.

And he said to his disciples that they should bring a boat near for him because of the crowd, so they would not throng him.

For he was healing many, so that they were falling on him in order to come near to him.

And those who had plagues of unclean spirits, when they saw him, were falling down and crying out and saying, You are the Son of Elohim.

And he was charging them much not to make him known.

And he went up the mountain and called those he wanted, and they came to him.

And he chose twelve to be with him, and that he might send them out to proclaim,

and that they might have authority to heal the sick and cast out demons.

And to Shimon he gave the name Keefa.

And to Ya'akov son of Zabdai and to Yochanan the brother of Ya'akov he gave them the name Bnai Regshi, that is, Sons of Thunder.

And he chose also Andraus and Philipos and Bar-Tulmai and Matai and Toma and Ya'akov son of Chalpai and Tadai and Shimon the Qananya,

and Yehuda Skaryota, he who handed him over. And they came to the house.

And a crowd gathered again, so that they were not able to eat bread.

And his kinsmen heard and went out to seize him, for they were saying, He has gone out of his mind.

And the scribes who had come down from Urishlim were saying, Baalzebub is in him, and by the head of the demons he casts out demons.

And Y'shua called them and said to them in parables, How can Satana cast out Satana?

For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.

And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

And if Satana rises against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end is.

No one can enter the house of a strong man and snatch his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

Amen I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies that the sons of men will blaspheme will be forgiven them.

But whoever blasphemes against the Ruach haKodesh, there is no forgiveness for him forever, but he is liable to the judgment of forever.

Because they were saying that an unclean spirit is in him.

And his mother and his brothers came, standing outside, and sent to call him to them.

Now a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him: Your mother and your brothers are outside seeking you.

And he answered and said to them: Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?

And he looked at those who were sitting with him, and said: Here is my mother, and here are my brothers!

For whoever does the will of Elohim, he is my brother and my sister and my mother.
