1
And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
2
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
3
No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.
4
And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but
5
they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.
7
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
8
And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?
9
How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?
10
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
11
so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
12
And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered.
13
And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
14
And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth.
15
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
16
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.
17

18
And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judæa,
19
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him.
20
And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:
21
for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.
22
And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
23
And he charged them much that they should not make him known.
24
And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him.
25
And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
26
and to have authority to cast out demons:
27
and Simon he surnamed Peter;
28
and James the
29
son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:
30
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the
31
son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Cananæan,
32
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
33
And he cometh into a house.
34
And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
35
And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

7
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
8
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.
9
And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.
10
For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.
11
And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, Thou art the Son ofGod.

15
and to have power [to heal diseases, and] to cast out demons.

19
and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to [the] house.
20
And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

And his relatives having heard [of it] went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.
22
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.
23
And having called them to [him], he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24
And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.
25
And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.
26
And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.
27
But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong [man] unless he first bind the strong [man], and then he will plunder his house.
28
Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches [with] which they may speak injuriously;
29
but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;
30
— because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31
And his brethren and his mother come, and standing without sent to him calling him.
32
And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.
33
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?
34
And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:
35
for whosoever shall do the will ofGod, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Et introivit iterum in synagogam: et erat ibi homo habens manum aridam.
2
Et observabant eum, si sabbatis curaret, ut accusarent illum.
3
Et ait homini habenti manum aridam: Surge in medium.
4
Et dicit eis: Licet sabbatis benefacere, an male? animam salvam facere, an perdere? At illi tacebant.
5
Et circumspiciens eos cum ira, contristatus super cæcitate cordis eorum, dicit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est manus illi.
6
Exeuntes autem Pharisæi, statim cum Herodianis consilium faciebant adversus eum quomodo eum perderent.
7
Iesus autem cum discipulis suis secessit ad mare: et multa turba a Galilæa, et Iudæa secuta est eum,
8
et ab Ierosolymis, et ab Idumæa, et trans Iordanem: et qui circa Tyrum, et Sidonem, multitudo magna, audientes, quæ faciebat, venerunt ad eum.
9
Et dicit discipulis suis ut navicula sibi deserviret propter turbam, ne comprimerent eum.
10
multos enim sanabat ita ut irruerent in eum ut illum tangerent quotquot habebant plagas.
11
Et spiritus immundi, cum illum videbant, procidebant ei: et clamabant dicentes:
12
Tu es Filius Dei. Et vehementer comminabatur eis ne manifestarent illum.
13
Et ascendens in montem vocavit ad se quos voluit ipse: et venerunt ad eum.
14
Et fecit ut essent duodecim cum illo: et ut mitteret eos prædicare.
15
Et dedit illis potestatem curandi infirmitates, et eiiciendi dæmonia.
16
Et imposuit Simoni nomen Petrus:
17
et Iacobum Zebedæi, et Ioannem fratrem Iacobi, et imposuit eis nomina Boanerges, quod est, Filii tonitrui:
18
et Andræam, et Philippum, et Bartholomæum, et Matthæum, et Thomam, et Iacobum Alphæi, et Thaddæum, et Simonem Cananæum,
19
et Iudas Iscariotem, qui et tradidit illum.
20
Et veniunt ad domum: et convenit iterum turba, ita ut non possent neque panem manducare.
21
Et cum audissent sui, exierunt tenere eum: dicebant enim: Quoniam in furorem versus est.
22
Et Scribæ, qui ab Ierosolymis descenderant, dicebant: Quoniam Beelzebub habet, et quia in principe dæmoniorum eiicit dæmonia.
23
Et convocatis eis in parabolis dicebat illis: Quomodo potest satanas satanam eiicere?
24
Et si regnum in se dividatur, non potest regnum illud stare.
25
Et si domus super semetipsam dispertiatur, non potest domus illa stare.
26
Et si satanas consurrexerit in semetipsum, dispertitus est, et non poterit stare, sed finem habet.
27
Nemo potest vasa fortis ingressus in domum diripere, nisi prius fortem alliget, et tunc domum eius diripiet.
28
Amen dico vobis, quoniam omnia dimittentur filiis hominum peccata, et blasphemiæ, quibus blasphemaverint:
29
qui autem blasphemaverit in Spiritum sanctum, non habebit remissionem in æternum, sed reus erit æterni delicti.
30
Quoniam dicebant: Spiritum immundum habet.
31
Et veniunt mater eius et fratres: et foris stantes miserunt ad eum vocantes eum,
32
et sedebat circa eum turba: et dicunt ei: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris quærunt te.
33
Et respondens eis, ait: Quæ est mater mea, et fratres mei?
34
Et circumspiciens eos, qui in circuitu eius sedebant, ait: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
35
Qui enim fecerit voluntatem Dei, hic frater meus, et soror mea, et mater est.

He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there whose hand was withered.
2
They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.
3
He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up.”
4
He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5
When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.
6
The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7
Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
8
from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
9
He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him.
10
For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
11
The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, “You are the Son of God!”
12
He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
13
He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
14
He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach
15
and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
16
Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
17
James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder);
18
Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
19
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.
20
The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21
When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him; for they said, “He is insane.”
22
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”
23
He summoned them and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26
If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’t stand, but has an end.
27
But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder unless he first binds the strong man; then he will plunder his house.
28
“Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme;
29
but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.”
30
—because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31
His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32
A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you.”
33
He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
34
Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
35
For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”

4
And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.
5
And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
6
and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
8
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon--a great multitude--having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
9
And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
10
for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him--as many as had plagues;
11
and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying--`Thou art the Son of God;'
12
and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13
And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
14
and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
15
and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
16
And he put on Simon the name Peter;
17
and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names--Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;'
18
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
19
and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20
And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
21
and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22
and the scribes who <FI>are<Fi> from Jerusalem having come down, said--`He hath Beelzeboul,' and--`By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
23
And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
24
and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
25
and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
26
and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
27
`No one is able the vessels of the strong man--having entered into his house--to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
28
`Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
29
but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness--to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'
30
because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.'
31
Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
32
and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'
33
And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?'
34
And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!
35
for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
