Isus iscjeljuje u subotu
(Mt 12:9-14; Lk 6:6-11)
1Isus ponovno ode u tamošnju sinagogu. Ondje je bio neki čovjek usahnule ruke. 2Isusovi neprijatelji budno su pazili hoće li mu iscijeliti ruku u subotu da ga mogu optužiti. 3Isus reče čovjeku usahnule ruke: “Ustani i dođi ovamo na sredinu!”
4Zatim ih upita: “Je li subotom dopušteno činiti dobro ili zlo, život spasiti ili pogubiti?” Šutjeli su. 5Srdito ih pogleda duboko ožalošćen tvrdoćom njihovih srca te reče čovjeku: “Ispruži ruku!” On ju ispruži, a ruka mu postane zdrava. 6Farizeji se smjesta odu dogovoriti s herodovcima da ga smaknu.
Mnoštvo slijedi Isusa
(Mt 4:23-25; 12:15-16; Lk 6:17-19)
7Isus i njegovi učenici odu na jezero, a za njima krene veliko mnoštvo iz cijele Galileje, Judeje, 8Jeruzalema, Idumeje, s istočne strane Jordana, čak i iz okolice Tira i Sidona. Vijest o čudima koje je činio nadaleko se pročula, pa su ga dolazili osobno vidjeti.
9Isus reče učenicima da mu dovezu čamac koji će biti spreman ako se mnoštvo previše natisne oko njega. 10Toga je dana mnoge iscijelio pa je na njega nahrupilo golemo mnoštvo bolesnika pokušavajući ga dotaknuti. 11Kad bi ga vidjeli ljudi opsjednuti nečistim duhom, pali bi pred njim ničice i vikali: “Ti si Božji Sin!” 12A on im je oštro zabranjivao da ga očituju.
Isus izabira dvanaestoricu apostola
(Mt 10:1-4; Lk 6:12-16; Djela 1:13)
13Zatim ode u goru i pozove one koje je izabrao da mu se ondje pridruže te oni dođu. 14Od njih odabere dvanaestoricu da ga prate i imenuje ih apostolima. Njih je poslao da propovijedau 15i da imaju vlast istjerivati zloduhe. 16Evo imena Dvanaestorice što ih je izabrao:
Šimun (kojemu je nadjenuo ime Petar),
17Jakov i Ivan (Zebedejevi sinovi, kojima je Isus dao nadimak Boanerges, to jest “Sinovi groma”),
18Andrija,
Filip,
Bartolomej,
Matej,
Toma,
Jakov (Alfejev sin),
Tadej,
Šimun (član političke stranke koja se zalagala za nasilno svrgavanje rimske vlasti) i
19Juda Iškariotski (koji ga je poslije izdao).
Isus i knez zloduha
(Mt 12:22-29; Lk 11:14-23; 12:10)
20Kad se vratio u dom gdje je boravio, opet je nagrnulo toliko mnoštvo da nisu stigli ni jesti. 21Kad su za to čuli njegovi, dođu ga odvesti jer su govorili da je izvan sebe. 22Ali pismoznanci što su došli iz Jeruzalema rekoše da ga je opsjeo Beelzebub, poglavica zlih duhova, pa da uz njegovu pomoć izgoni zloduhe.
23Isus dozove ljude i počne im govoriti u prispodobama: “Kako može Sotona izgoniti Sotonu? 24Kraljevstvo koje je u sebi podvojeno propast će. 25Dom u kojemu vlada nesloga ne može opstati. 26Ako se dakle Sotona bori sam protiv sebe, kako će se onda održati? Ne bi uspio u tome. 27Ne možete ući u kuću snažnog čovjeka i opljačkati ga a da ga najprije ne svežete. Tek tada ga možete orobiti.
28Zaista vam kažem da se svaki ljudski grijeh može oprostiti, pa čak i hula. 29Ali hula na Svetoga Duha nikad se ne može oprostiti. To je vječni grijeh.”
30To im reče jer su govorili da ima nečistog duha.
Prava Isusova obitelj
(Mt 12:46-50; Lk 8:19-21)
31Stigli su onamo njegova majka i braća, stajali vani te mu po nekim ljudima poručili da iziđe razgovarati s njima. 32Oko njega je sjedilo mnoštvo kad mu rekoše: “Vani su ti majka, braća i sestre, žele te vidjeti.”
33On im odgovori: “Tko mi je majka? Tko su mi braća?” 34Pogleda ljude koji su sjedili u krugu oko njega, pa reče: “Ovo su mi majka i braća! 35Zaista, tko god čini Božju volju, taj mi je i brat, i sestra i majka.”
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. 7But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judæa, 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. 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. 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.
22¶ And 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. 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.
31¶ There 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.
