3:20 耶穌進了一個屋子，眾人又聚集，甚至他連飯也顧不得吃。
3:21 耶穌的親屬聽見，就出來要拉住他，因為他們說他癲狂了。
3:22 從耶路撒冷下來的文士說：「他是被別西卜附著」；又說：「他是靠著鬼王趕鬼。」
3:23 耶穌叫他們來，用比喻對他們說：「撒但怎能趕出撒但呢？
3:24 若一國自相紛爭，那國就站立不住；
3:25 若一家自相紛爭，那家就站立不住。
3:26 若撒但自相攻打紛爭，他就站立不住，必要滅亡。
3:27 沒有人能進壯士家裡，搶奪他的家具；必先捆住那壯士，才可以搶奪他的家。
3:28 我實在告訴你們，世人一切的罪和一切褻瀆的話都可得赦免；
3:29 凡褻瀆聖靈的，卻永不得赦免，乃要擔當永遠的罪。」
3:30 這話是因為他們說：「他是被污鬼附著的。」
3:31 當下，耶穌的母親和弟兄來，站在外邊，打發人去叫他。
3:32 有許多人在耶穌周圍坐著，他們就告訴他說：「看哪，你母親和你弟兄在外邊找你。」
3:33 耶穌回答說：「誰是我的母親？誰是我的弟兄？」
3:34 就四面觀看那周圍坐著的人，說：「看哪，我的母親，我的弟兄。
3:35 凡遵行上帝旨意的人就是我的弟兄姊妹和母親了。」
20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family[b] heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive 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 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

主耶穌為了服事有需要的人，竟然發生「連飯也顧不得吃」的情形！照今天我們的眼光來說、主耶穌真是勤勞和和辛苦，也會為祂的熱心助人，來稱讚與鼓勵！然而祂的親戚竟然說：「他癲狂了！」
更誇張的是，從耶路撒冷下來的文士說：「他是被別西卜附著」；又說：「他是靠著鬼王趕鬼。」
「別西卜」是由希臘文直接音譯過來，意思是「土地的主宰」或「土地之神」。雖然在猶太人的觀念之中，撒但沒有正式被稱為「別西卜」，但在主耶穌的答辯之中，別西卜很明顯是指撒但。
耶路撒冷下來的文士這樣說，很顯然是在汙衊主耶穌，也因此主耶穌勸他們要認清楚自己的身分，還用比喻對他們說；「撒但怎能趕出撒但呢？若一國自相紛爭，那國就站立不住；若一家自相紛爭，那家就站立不住。若撒但自相攻打紛爭，他就站立不住，必要滅亡。」意思要他們在上帝的家中彼此合作，不是互相批評，彼此相爭，這是不蒙上帝喜悅的！
今日在教會中更是如此，大家要一起同心遵行上帝的旨意，正如主耶穌所宣告的：「看哪，我的母親，我的弟兄。凡遵行上帝旨意的人就是我的弟兄姊妹和母親了。」
讓我們一同在上帝的家，一起來遵行上帝的旨意，互相來見證上帝國的榮耀！
