Jesus

And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him.

And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.

And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.

And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.

And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea,

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.

And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying:

Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known.

And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him.

And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.

And to Simon he gave the name Peter:

And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder.

And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.

And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?

Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme:

And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?

And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
