Mark 3 Intro: The choosing of the Twelve -- Their names -- The brethren of Christ.
1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he said 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 said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand.
6 And he stretched out his hand; and his hand was restored whole as the other.
7 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
8 But Jesus withdrew himself, with his disciples, to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what great things he did, came unto him.
9 And he spake unto 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 and unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
