JESUS HEALS A MAN ON THE SABBATH DAY

1 AND he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

A MULTITUDE FOLLOWS JESUS TO THE SEA.
7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judæa,
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

JESUS CHOOSES TWELVE APOSTLES
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

KESIS ACCISED PF BEING BEELZEBUB
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27 No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

JESUS' MOTHER AND BROTHERS
31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

1And he entred againe into the Synagogue, and there was a man there which had a withered hand:

2And they watched him, whether hee would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

3And he saith vnto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

4And hee saith vnto them, Is it lawfull to doe good on the Sabbath dayes, or to doe euill? to saue life, or to kill? but they held their peace.

5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieued for the hardnesse of their hearts, He saith vnto the man, Stretch foorth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway tooke counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

7But Iesus withdrew himselfe with his disciples to the Sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Iudea,

8And from Hierusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Iordane, and they about Tyre & Sydon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him.

9And he spake to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

10For he had healed many, insomuch that they preassed vpon him, for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

11And vncleane spirits, when they saw him, fell downe before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne of God.

12And he straitly charged them, that they should not make him knowen.

13And he goeth vp into a mountaine, and calleth vnto him whom he would: and they came vnto him.

14And he ordeined twelue, that they should be with him, and that hee might send them foorth to preach:

15And to haue power to heale sickenesses, and to cast out deuils.

16And Simon he surnamed Peter.

17And Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn the brother of Iames (and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sonnes of thunder.)

18And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

19And Iudas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

20And the multitude commeth together againe, so that they could not so much as eate bread.

21And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is beside himselfe.

22 And the Scribes which came downe from Hierusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the deuils, casteth he out deuils.

23And he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, Howe can Satan cast out Satan?

24And if a kingdome be diuided against it selfe, that kingdome cannot stand.

25And if a house be diuided against it selfe, that house cannot stand.

26And if Satan rise vp against himselfe, and be diuided, hee cannot stand, but hath an end.

27No man can enter into a strong mans house, and spoile his goods, except he will first bind the strong man, and then he will spoile his house.

28Uerely I say vnto you, All sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the sonnes of men, and blasphemies, wherewith soeuer they shall blaspheme:

29But he that shal blaspheme against the holy Ghost, hath neuer forgiuenesse, but is in danger of eternall damnation.

30Because they said, He hath an vncleane spirit.

31 There came then his brethren, and his mother, and standing without, sent vnto him, calling him.

32And the multitude sate about him and they said vnto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seeke for thee.

33And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

34And he looked round about on them which sate about him, and saide, Behold my mother and my brethren.

35For whosoeuer shall doe the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

1 Again he entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. 2 They watched him closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. 3 He said to the man with the withered hand, "Come up here before us." 4 Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?" But they remained silent. 5 Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death. 7 Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of people (followed) from Galilee and from Judea. 8 Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. 9 He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him. 10 He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him. 11 And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him and shout, "You are the Son of God." 12 He warned them sternly not to make him known. 13 He went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons: 16 (he appointed the twelve:) Simon, whom he named Peter; 17 James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, 19 and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him. 20 He came home. Again (the) crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. 21 When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." 22 The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." 23 Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, "How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him. 27 But no one can enter a strong man's house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. 28 Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin." 30 For they had said, "He has an unclean spirit." 31 His mother and his brothers arrived. Standing outside they sent word to him and called him. 32 A crowd seated around him told him, "Your mother and your brothers (and your sisters) are outside asking for you." 33 But he said to them in reply, "Who are my mother and (my) brothers?" 34 And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. 35 (For) whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."

v 1-5. Lk. 6-11. The man with the shriveled hand on the Sabbath was a definite set up by the Pharisees to accuse Jesus. He tested their motive by asking if it was right to do good on the Sabbath. Then turning to the man, He healed him to show that He was Lord also of the Sabbath. He did no ”work”, but simply spoke and the man was healed.  He was angry at their attitude, the only time it is specifically mentioned in the N. T. 

 

 

 

 

v 6-12. This humiliated and infuriated the Pharisees, and they counseled with the Herodians how they could destroy Jesus. He left for the Sea of Galilee and preached from a boat because of the crowd. He healed everyone and cast out demons. Unclean spirits fell before Him proclaiming Him the Son of God, but he told them to be quiet, men were to proclaim Him. He told men to not tell of Him because he was too popular.

 

v 13-19.fter spending a night in prayer, Jesus chose twelve Apostles from the many disciples. We should be willing to spend a night praying before major decisions.
Bartholomew is also called Nathaniel.  Thaddaeus is also called Judas not Iscariot, Judas son of James, Jude or Lebbaeus.  Simon is also called Canaanite, Mk. 3:17 (or “Kananian”), meaning Zealotes or the Zealot, a group that favored revolt from Rome.  Simon Peter is also called Cephas or Simon Barjona (son of Jonah).  James the son of Alphaeus is also called James the less.  Matthew is called Levi.

 

v 20,21. They were so thronged they couldn’t even eat and friends (literal family) tried to bring him home, thinking he had gone religious fanatic, insane. Also  v 31,32.

 

v 22-30. Scribes claimed He cast out demons by Beelzebub, prince of demons, but He showed by parables how impossible that was, Satan warring against Satan. He warned them not to blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, because that sin could not be forgiven. They had come close to calling the Holy Spirit Satan.

v. 31-35. In ignoring the pleas of His family, Jesus showed the new relationship of all believers being His family.
