3:20
And he goes into a house ...
and again a crowd assembles ...
so that they were not able to eat bread.
3:21
And having heard ...
  the ones beside him went out to grab him ...
for they were saying that he is out of place.
3:22
And the scribes, the ones having come down from Jerusalem ...
  they were saying that he has Beelzebul ...
and for the "ruler of the demons" he casts out the demons.
3:23
And having called them he was speaking to them in "parables" ...
How is it possible for "satan" to cast out an "opponent?"
3:24
And if a "kingdom" is divided against itself ...
it is not possible for that kingdom to stand.
3:25
And if a house is divided against itself ...
it will not be possible for that house to stand.
3:26
And if an opponent ...
stood up against himself ...
  and was divided ...
it is not possible to stand ...
  but he has an end.
3:27
But no one is able having entered into the house of the strong ...
to plunder his vessels ...
unless first, he binds the strong ...
and then he will plunder his house.
3:28
Amen, I say to you ...
  that everything will be forgiven ...
  the sins of the sons of man ...
And the "blasphemies" ...
  whatever they may blaspheme.
3:29
But whoever blasphemes into the "holy spirit" does not have forgiveness into eternity ...
but is guilty of an "eternal sin."
3:30
For they were saying ... He has an "unclean spirit."

Jesus Divides his Family

3:31
And his Mother comes ...
  and his Brothers ...
and standing outside ...
  they sent off before him ...
  calling him.
3:32
And a Crowd was sitting around him ...
and they are saying to him ... Behold, your Mother and your Brothers ...
  and your Sisters are outside asking for you.
3:33
And having answered them he says ... Who are my Mother and Brothers?
3:34
And having looked around ...
  the ones sitting around him in a circle ...
he says ... Behold my Mother ...
  and my Brothers.
3:35
For whoever does the will of God ...
this one is my Brother ...
and Sister and Mother.
