(1 Samuel 21:1–7; Mark 2:23–28; Luke 6:1–5)
1
At that time Iesus went on a Sabbath day through ye corne, and his disciples were an hungred, and bega to plucke ye eares of corne and to eate.
2
And when the Pharises sawe it, they saide vnto him, Beholde, thy disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath.
3
But he said vnto them, Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him?
4
Howe he entred into ye house of God, and did eate the shewe bread, which was not lawfull for him to eate, neither for them which were with him, but onely for the Priestes?
5
Or haue ye not read in the Lawe, how that on the Sabbath dayes the Priestes in the Temple breake the Sabbath, and are blameles?
6
But I say vnto you, that here is one greater then the Temple.
7
Wherefore if ye knewe what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice, ye would not haue condemned the innocents.
8
For the sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

(Mark 3:1–6; Luke 6:6–11)
9
And he departed thence, and went into their Synagogue:
10
And beholde, there was a man which had his hand dried vp. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawfull to heale vpon a Sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
11
And he said vnto the, What man shall there be among you, that hath a sheepe, and if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit, doth not take it and lift it out?
12
How much more then is a man better then a sheepe? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day.
13
Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it foorth, and it was made whole as the other.
14
Then the Pharises went out, and consulted against him, howe they might destroy him.

God’s Chosen Servant

(Isaiah 42:1–9)
15
But whe Iesus knew it, he departed thece, and great multitudes folowed him, and he healed the al,
16
And charged them in threatning wise, that they should not make him knowen,
17
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying,
18
Behold my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule deliteth: I wil put my Spirit on him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the Gentiles.
19
He shall not striue, nor crie, neither shall any man heare his voyce in the streetes.
20
A bruised reede shall he not breake, and smoking flaxe shall he not quenche, till he bring forth iudgement vnto victorie.
21
And in his Name shall the Gentiles trust.

A House Divided

(Mark 3:20–27; Luke 11:14–23)
22
Then was brought to him one, possessed with a deuill, both blind, and dumme, and he healed him, so that he which was blind and dumme, both spake and saw.
23
And all the people were amased, and saide, Is not this that sonne of Dauid?
24
But when the Pharises heard it, they saide, This man casteth the deuils no otherwise out, but through Beelzebub the prince of deuils.
25
But Iesus knew their thoughtes, and said to them, Euery kingdome deuided against it selfe, is brought to nought: and euery citie or house, deuided against it selfe, shall not stand.
26
So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure?
27
Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges.
28
But if I cast out deuils by ye Spirit of God, then is the kingdome of God come vnto you.
29
Els howe can a man enter into a strong mans house and spoyle his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then spoile his house.
30
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Mark 3:28–30)
31
Wherefore I say vnto you, euery sinne and blasphemie shalbe forgiuen vnto men: but the blasphemie against the holy Ghost shall not be forgiuen vnto men.
32
And whosoeuer shall speake a word against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but whosoeuer shall speake against the holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen him, neither in this worlde, nor in the worlde to come.

Good and Bad Fruit

(Luke 6:43–45)
33
Either make the tree good, and his fruite good: or els make the tree euill, and his fruite euil: for the tree is knowen by the fruite.
34
O generations of vipers, howe can you speake good things, when ye are euill? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good things: and an euill man out of an euill treasure, bringeth forth euill things.
36
But I say vnto you, that of euery idle word that men shall speake, they shall giue account thereof at the day of iudgement.
37
For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned.

The Sign of Jonah

(Jonah 3:1–10; Luke 11:29–32)
38
Then answered certaine of ye Scribes and of the Pharises, saying, Master, we would see a signe of thee.
39
But he answered and said to them, An euill and adulterous generation seeketh a signe, but no signe shall be giuen vnto it, saue that signe of the Prophet Ionas.
40
For as Ionas was three daies and three nights in the whales belly: so shall the Sonne of man be three daies and three nights in ye heart of the earth.
41
The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.
42
The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisdome of Salomon: and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here.

An Unclean Spirit Returns

(Luke 11:24–26)
43
Nowe when the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh throughout drie places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44
Then he saith, I wil returne into mine house from whence I came: and when he is come, he findeth it emptie, swept and garnished.
45
Then he goeth, and taketh vnto him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the ende of that man is worse then the beginning. Euen so shall it be with this wicked generation.

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

(Mark 3:31–35; Luke 8:19–21)
46
While he yet spake to ye multitude, beholde, his mother, and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him.
47
Then one said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee.
48
But he answered, and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49
And he stretched foorth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Beholde my mother and my brethren.
50
For whosoeuer shall doe my Fathers will which is in heauen, the same is my brother and sister and mother.
(1 Samuel 21:1–7; Mark 2:23–28; Luke 6:1–5)
1
At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2
But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3
But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4
how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? (a)
5
Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6
But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
7
But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ (b) you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
8
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

(Mark 3:1–6; Luke 6:6–11)
9
He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
10
And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
11
He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
12
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13
Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14
But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

God’s Chosen Servant

(Isaiah 42:1–9)
15
Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16
and commanded them that they should not make him known,
17
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19
He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21
In his name, the nations will hope.”(c)

A House Divided

(Mark 3:20–27; Luke 11:14–23)
22
Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23
All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
24
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
25
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26
If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
29
Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
30
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.

The Unpardonable Sin

(Mark 3:28–30)
31
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.

Good and Bad Fruit

(Luke 6:43–45)
33
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34
You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35
The good man out of his good treasure (d) brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
36
I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonah

(Jonah 3:1–10; Luke 11:29–32)
38
Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39
But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
42
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

An Unclean Spirit Returns

(Luke 11:24–26)
43
“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
44
Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45
Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

(Mark 3:31–35; Luke 8:19–21)
46
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47
One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48
But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49
He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50
For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
