Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

(Matthew 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11)

1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 4And 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. 5And 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. 6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Great Crowds Follow Jesus

7But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 8And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, 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. 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 pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. 11And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1-4; Luke 6:12-16)

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

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22-30; Luke 11:14-23)

20And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. 23And he called them unto him, and 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.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Matthew 12:31-32)

28Verily 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 in danger of eternal damnation: 30Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

(Matthew 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21)

31There came then 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.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
(Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11)

1 He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered. 2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him. 3 He said to the man who had his hand withered, “Stand up.” 4 He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other. 6 The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes
(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)

7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea, 8 from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him. 9 He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him. 10 For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him. 11 The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, “You are the Son of God!” 12 He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

The Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)

13 He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him. 14 He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach, 15 and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: 16 Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter; 17 James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he surnamed them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder; 18 Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. He came into a house.

A House Divided
(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)

20 The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21 When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, “He is insane.” 22 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.” 23 He summoned them, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end. 27 But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Matthew 12:31–32)

28 Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme; 29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” 30 —because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12:46–50; Luke 8:19–21)

31 His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him. 32 A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you.” 33 He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
(Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11)

1 Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there. 2 In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

3 Then Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Stand up among us.” 4 And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

But they were silent.

5 Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow at their hardness of heart. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored.

6 At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes
(Matthew 4:23–25; Luke 6:17–19)

7 So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea, 8 Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.

9 Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him. 10 For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him. 11 And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” 12 But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.

The Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10:1–4; Luke 6:12–16)

13 Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him. 14 He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, a to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach, 15 and to have authority b to drive out demons.

16 These are the twelve He appointed: c Simon (whom He named Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, d 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. e

A House Divided
(Matthew 12:22–30; Luke 11:14–23)

20 Then Jesus went home, f and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat. 21 When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul, g” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

23 So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 26 And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Matthew 12:31–32)

28 Truly I tell you, the sons of men will be forgiven all sins and blasphemies, as many as they utter. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

30 Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12:46–50; Luke 8:19–21)

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to summon Him, 32 and a crowd was sitting around Him. “Look,” He was told, “Your mother and brothers h are outside, asking for You.”

33 But Jesus replied, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” 34 Looking at those seated in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

(Matthew 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11)

1And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered, 2and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him. 3And he saith to the man having the hand withered, 'Rise up in the midst.' 4And he saith to them, 'Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent. 5And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other; 6and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

Great Crowds Follow Jesus

7And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him. 9And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him, 10for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues; 11and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- 'Thou art the Son of God;' 12and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1-4; Luke 6:12-16)

13And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him; 14and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach, 15and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons. 16And he put on Simon the name Peter; 17and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, 'Sons of thunder;' 18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite, 19and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22-30; Luke 11:14-23)

20And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread; 21and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself, 22and the scribes who are from Jerusalem having come down, said -- 'He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.' 23And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, 'How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary? 24and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand; 25and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand; 26and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end. 27'No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Matthew 12:31-32)

28'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil, 29but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;' 30because they said, 'He hath an unclean spirit.'

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

(Matthew 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21)

31Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him, 32and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.' 33And he answered them, saying, 'Who is my mother, or my brethren?' 34And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren! 35for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

¹ Once again, Jesus entered the synagogue, where He encountered a man with a withered hand. ² Some religious leaders watched Jesus intently, hoping to catch Him breaking their Sabbath regulations by healing on a day of 'rest'. ³ Jesus called to the man with the withered hand: "Stand up here in the centre." ⁴ Then Jesus said, "What does God's law actually permit on the Sabbath—to help or to harm? To save life or to destroy it?" The silence revealed their commitment to regulation over compassion.

⁵ Jesus looked around at them, His heart breaking with grief, yet burning with righteous anger at their hardened hearts. Then He said to the man, "Hold out your hand." As the man extended his hand, complete healing reformed his withered limb. ⁶ The Pharisees stormed out, their rigid religious worldview shattered. They immediately began plotting with the Herodians, their usual political enemies—to destroy Jesus.

Crowds Follow Jesus

⁷ Then Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Sea of Galilee, followed by an enormous crowd from every region—Galilee, Judea, ⁸ Jerusalem, Idumea, those beyond the Jordan River, and the regions around Tyre and Sidon. They came to Him, after hearing of His miraculous works—each person carrying their own hopes, hurts, and hunger for something more than mere religion.

⁹ Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready to prevent the pressing crowd from overwhelming Him. ¹⁰ For He had healed so many, that everyone with any illness kept pushing forward, desperate to touch Him, knowing that in His touch lay power for transformation. ¹¹ Whenever evil spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and screamed, "You are the Son of God!" ¹² But He emphatically rebuked them, warning them to not reveal His identity.

Jesus Appoints the Twelve Apostles

¹³ Jesus climbed a mountainside and called those He wanted, and they came to Him—history about to change through ordinary people. ¹⁴ He appointed twelve to be 'apostles' or 'sent ones'—authorized representatives who would learn from Him personally and then carry His message to the world. ¹⁵ He also gave them authority to drive out demons—thereby extending His spiritual ministry through human partnership.

¹⁶ These are the twelve He chose: Simon, whom He renamed Peter, reflecting the rock-like faith he would develop; ¹⁷ James and John, Zebedee's sons, whom He named "Sons of Thunder" because of their passionate personalities; ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot—a revolutionary opposed to Rome; ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Him.

Jesus Accused by the Religious

²⁰ When they entered a house, such a large crowd gathered that Jesus and His disciples couldn't even eat a meal together. ²¹ When His family heard about this, they came to take charge of Him, saying, "He's lost His mind!" ²² Religious scholars who came from Jerusalem claimed, "He's possessed by Beelzebul! He drives out demons by the prince of demons!"

²³ Jesus called them over and used parables to expose their foolish logic: "How can the Satan drive out the Satan? ²⁴ If a kingdom fights against itself, it cannot survive. ²⁵ If a household turns against itself, it will collapse. ²⁶ So if the Satan opposes himself and fights against himself, he cannot survive. His end has come!"

²⁷ Think of it like this, "No one can enter a strong man's house and steal his possessions without first tying him up. Only then can his house be ransacked!" This illustrated Jesus' authority over the Adversary's domain. ²⁸ "I tell you the truth," Jesus declared, "People can be forgiven all their sins and blasphemies. ²⁹ But whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an everlasting sin." ³⁰ He said this because they kept saying, "He has an evil spirit!" And thus they continually credited the Holy Spirit's work to the Adversary.

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

³¹ Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived outside. Unable to enter through the crowd, they sent someone in to call Him. ³² The crowd sitting around Him, passed on the message, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for You." ³³ But Jesus said, "Who are My mother and brothers?" ³⁴ Looking at those seated around Him in a circle, He said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! ³⁵ Whoever does God's will is My brother and sister and mother."

When Family Gets in the Way of Kingdom Work

What’s Mark 3 about?

This chapter captures the explosive tension between Jesus’ expanding ministry and the growing opposition from religious leaders and even his own family. It’s the story of how radical obedience to God can put you at odds with everyone you thought was on your side.

The Full Context

Mark 3 unfolds during the height of Jesus’ popularity in Galilee, but also marks a crucial turning point where the battle lines become crystal clear. Mark has been building toward this moment since chapter 1, showing us a Jesus who heals, teaches, and challenges religious conventions with divine authority. The Pharisees have been watching, waiting, looking for ammunition to use against him.

This chapter brings together three pivotal scenes that define Jesus’ ministry: the final Sabbath controversy that pushes the Pharisees over the edge, the strategic appointment of the Twelve apostles, and the heartbreaking moment when his own family thinks he’s lost his mind. Mark masterfully weaves these together to show us that following Jesus means choosing a new kind of family – one bound not by blood but by doing “the will of God.” The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the cost of discipleship has never been clearer.

What the Ancient Words Tell Us

The Greek word ekballō appears twice in this chapter, and it’s loaded with intensity. When the Pharisees want to “cast out” Jesus (Mark 3:6), and when Jesus gives the Twelve authority to “cast out” demons (Mark 3:15), Mark is using the same violent verb. It literally means to throw out with force – like bouncing someone from a bar or hurling something into the trash.

Grammar Geeks

The word existēmi in Mark 3:21 doesn’t just mean “out of his mind” – it literally means “to stand outside oneself.” Jesus’ family thought he was so far gone that he’d left his own body behind. This is the same root word used for religious ecstasy and being “beside yourself” with emotion.

When Jesus asks, “How can Satan cast out Satan?” (Mark 3:23), he’s using a brilliant rhetorical device. The Greek construction suggests this isn’t just impossible – it’s absurd. It’s like asking, “How can darkness turn on the lights?” The very question exposes how ridiculous the Pharisees’ accusation really is.

The phrase “whoever does the will of God” (Mark 3:35) uses the present participle poiōn, which means continuous, ongoing action. Jesus isn’t talking about people who occasionally do God’s will when it’s convenient. He’s describing a lifestyle, a pattern of living where God’s will becomes your default setting.

What Would the Original Audience Have Heard?

The F.O.G Bible Project

This page has a unique origin story and vision. Find out why your visit today is about more than words.

What is the F.O.G?

Picture this: you’re a first-century Jew, and family is everything. Your identity, your security, your entire social structure revolves around blood relatives and tribal connections. Honor and shame aren’t just personal feelings – they’re family matters that affect everyone who shares your name.

Did You Know?

In ancient Jewish culture, when someone was declared “out of their mind,” family members had both the right and the responsibility to intervene – even forcibly bringing them home. What Jesus’ family was attempting wasn’t just concern; it was a culturally mandated intervention.

When Jesus’ mother and brothers show up asking for him (Mark 3:31), everyone in that crowd would have expected him to drop everything and go to them immediately. Family trumped everything – teaching, healing, ministry – everything. A good Jewish son honored his mother above all else.

So when Jesus looks around at the crowd and declares, “Here are my mother and my brothers!” (Mark 3:34), it would have been absolutely scandalous. He’s not just prioritizing ministry over family – he’s redefining what family means entirely. In a shame-based culture, this moment would have sent shockwaves through the crowd.

The Pharisees’ accusation that Jesus was working through Beelzebul (Mark 3:22) wasn’t just theological disagreement – it was character assassination of the highest order. They were essentially saying, “This man is in league with the devil himself.” In their worldview, there were only two sources of supernatural power: God or Satan. If it wasn’t from God, it had to be demonic.

Wrestling with the Text

Here’s what keeps me up at night about this chapter: Jesus’ family thinks he’s crazy, and they’re not entirely wrong to be worried. Think about it from Mary’s perspective. She’s watched her son leave his carpentry business, gather a ragtag group of followers, and start making enemies of the most powerful religious leaders in the country. He’s barely sleeping, constantly surrounded by crowds, and now people are saying he’s either the Messiah or demon-possessed.

Wait, That’s Strange…

Mark never tells us how Jesus’ family intervention ended. Did Mary and his brothers just leave empty-handed? Did they wait around? The silence is deafening and probably intentional – Mark wants us to feel the weight of choosing kingdom family over blood family.

The unforgivable sin passage (Mark 3:28-29) has troubled Christians for centuries, but here’s the thing: Jesus isn’t creating a new category of sin that’s worse than murder or adultery. He’s describing a spiritual condition where someone becomes so hardened to the Holy Spirit that they call good evil and evil good. It’s not about accidentally saying the wrong thing – it’s about a deliberate, persistent rejection of God’s obvious work.

But here’s what really gets me: the Pharisees weren’t stupid. They could see Jesus was doing genuine miracles. Their problem wasn’t intellectual – it was volitional. They didn’t want Jesus to be from God because it would mean they were wrong, and being wrong would cost them their power, their position, and their identity.

How This Changes Everything

This chapter forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: following Jesus might put you at odds with the people you love most. Not because you want conflict, but because radical discipleship tends to expose everyone’s true priorities.

“Jesus doesn’t just call us to add him to our existing family structure – he calls us to let him redefine what family means entirely.”

When Jesus chooses twelve apostles (Mark 3:13-19), he’s not just building a ministry team – he’s creating a new kind of community. Look at that list: fishermen and tax collectors, zealots and regular guys, Simon Peter (the rock) and Judas Iscariot (the betrayer). This isn’t a carefully curated group of like-minded individuals. It’s a messy, diverse family bound together by one thing: they all said yes when Jesus called.

The healing of the man with the withered hand (Mark 3:1-6) isn’t just about physical restoration – it’s about Jesus refusing to let religious rules prevent him from doing good. The Pharisees’ silence when he asks, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm?” tells us everything. They knew the right answer, but admitting it would undermine their entire system.

Here’s what strikes me most: Jesus’ anger and grief (Mark 3:5) when he sees their “hardness of heart.” The word pōrōsis describes a callous that forms over repeated injury. These religious leaders had callused hearts – they’d been hurting people for so long in the name of God that they couldn’t feel the damage anymore.

Key Takeaway

True family isn’t determined by DNA or shared last names, but by a shared commitment to following Jesus, even when it costs us everything we thought mattered most.
