Mark
3:1-12Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
The Man
with the Paralyzed Hand
3 Now He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there
who had a paralyzed hand.2 In order
to accuse Him, they were watching Him closely to see whether He would
healhim on the Sabbath. 3 He told
the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.”[a]4 Then He
said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do what is good or
to do what is evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were
silent. 5 After looking around at them with angerand
sorrow at the hardness of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out
your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 Immediately
the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the
Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Ministering
to the Multitude
7 Jesus departed with His disciples to the
sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee,Judea, 8 Jerusalem, Idumea,
beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd
came to Him because they heard about everything He was doing. 9 Then He
told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would
not crush Him.10 Since He had healed many, all who had
diseases were pressing toward Him to touchHim. 11 Whenever
the unclean spirits saw Him, those possessed fell down before
Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” 12 And He
would strongly warn them not to make Him known.
