Mark 3:20–35

²⁰And the multitude cometh together again, ^xso that they could not so much as eat bread. ²¹And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: ^yfor they said, ^zHe is beside himself. ²²And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, ^aHe hath ^bBeelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. ²³And he called them unto him, ^cand said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ²⁶And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. ²⁷No 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. ^28dVerily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: ²⁹but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is ^ein danger of eternal damnation. ³⁰Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

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