1Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.

1Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.

2The people watched Jesus closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.

3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."

3He told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Come forward."

4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.

4Then he asked them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on Sabbath days, to save a life or to destroy it?" But they remained silent.

5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.

7Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.

7So Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. A large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

8When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.

8Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

9Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.

9Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready for him so that the crowd wouldn't crush him,

10For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.

10because he had healed so many people that everyone who had diseases kept crowding up against him in order to touch him.

11Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

12But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.

12But he sternly ordered them again and again not to tell people who he was.

13Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.

20Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.

20Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

21When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

21When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him, because they kept saying, "He's out of his mind!"

22And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."

22The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept repeating, "He has Beelzebul," and, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."

26So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand. Indeed, his end has come.

27In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house.

27No one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man. Then he can ransack his house.

28Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,

28I tell all of you with certainty, people will be forgiven their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter.

29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin."

35Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

35Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
