Mark 3:20-35 — Jesus and Beelzebul; Jesus' True Family

Mark.3.20-35

²⁰Then he comes into a house, and the crowd comes together again, so that they could not even eat bread. ²¹When his family heard of it, they went out to take hold of him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” ²²And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.” ²³So he called them to him and began speaking to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. ²⁶And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but has come to an end. ²⁷But no one can enter the house of the strong man and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house. ²⁸Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of men, and the blasphemies, whatever they may blaspheme; ²⁹but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin ." ³⁰Because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” ³¹Then his mother and his brothers come, and standing outside they sent to him, calling for him. ³²And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside seeking you.” ³³And answering them he said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” ³⁴And looking around at those sitting in a circle around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. ³⁵Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother."
