1And he enteredagaininto the synagogue; andtherewas a manthere which had a witheredhand.
2And they watchedhim, whether he would healhim on the sabbath day; that they might accusehim.
3And he saith unto the man which had the witheredhand, Standforth.
4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to savelife, or to kill?But they held their peace.
5And when he had looked round about on themwithanger, being grievedfor the hardness of theirhearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forththinehand. And he stretched it out: andhishand was restoredwholeas the other.
6And the Pharisees went forth, andstraightwaytookcounselwith the Herodiansagainsthim, how they might destroyhim.
7ButJesus withdrew himselfwithhisdisciplesto the sea: and a greatmultitudefromGalileefollowedhim, andfromJudaea,
8AndfromJerusalem, andfromIdumaea, andfrombeyondJordan; and they aboutTyreandSidon, a greatmultitude, when they had heard what greatthings he did, cameuntohim.
9And he spake to hisdisciples, that a small ship should wait onhimbecause of the multitude, lest they should thronghim.
10For he hadhealedmany; insomuch that they pressed uponhimfortotouchhim, asmanyashadplagues.
11Anduncleanspirits, when they sawhim, fell down beforehim, andcried, saying, Thouart the Son of God.
12And he straitlychargedthemthat they shouldnotmakehimknown.
13Andhe goeth upinto a mountain, andcallethuntohimwhomhewould: and they cameuntohim.
14And he ordainedtwelve, that they should bewithhim, andthat he might sendthemforth to preach,
15And to havepower to healsicknesses, and to cast outdevils:
16AndSimon he surnamedPeter;
17AndJames the son of Zebedee, andJohn the brother of James; and he surnamedthemBoanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

20And the multitude cometh togetheragain, so thattheycouldnot so much aseatbread.
21And when hisfriendsheard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
22And the scribeswhich came downfromJerusalemsaid, He hathBeelzebub, andby the prince of the devils casteth he outdevils.
