Mark 3:1–19 (LEB)
1And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.
2And they were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him.
3And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come into the middle.”
4And he said to them, “Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians and began to conspire against him with regard to how they could destroy him.
7And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd from Galilee followed him. And from Judea
8and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him because they heard all that he was doing.
9And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him.
10For he had healed many, so that all those who were suffering from diseases pressed about him in order that they could touch him.
11And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, were falling down before him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God!”
12And he warned them strictly that they should not make him known.
13And he went up on the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted, and they came to him.
14And he appointed twelve, so that they would be with him and so that he could send them out to preach
15and to have authority to expel demons.
16And he appointed the twelve. And to Simon he gave the name Peter,
17and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (and he gave to them the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”),
18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,
19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
