^(C1)He ^(C2)entered a synagogue again; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

And ^(C1)they were watching Him ^(F1)closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, ^(C2)so that they might accuse Him.

He ^(*)said to the man with the withered hand, "^(F1)Get up and come forward!"

And He ^(*)said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do harm, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

After ^(C1)looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He ^(*)said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

The Pharisees went out and immediately began ^(F1)conspiring with the ^(C1)Herodians against Him, as to how they might put Him to death.

^(C1)Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and ^(C2)a large multitude from Galilee followed, and also from Judea,

and from Jerusalem, and from ^(C1)Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of ^(C2)Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard about everything that He was doing and came to Him.

^(C1)And He told His disciples to see that a boat would be ready for Him because of the ^(F1)masses, so that they would not crowd Him;

for He had ^(C1)healed many, with the result that all those who had ^(C2)diseases pushed in around Him in order to ^(C3)touch Him.

And whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, "You are ^(C1)the Son of God!"

And He ^(C1)strongly warned them not to ^(F1)reveal who He was.

And He ^(*)went up on ^(C1)the mountain and ^(*)(C2)summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,

and to have authority to cast out the demons.

And He appointed the twelve: ^(C1)Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

^(F1)James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of ^(F1)James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder");

and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, ^(F1)James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, and Simon the ^(F2)Zealot;

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
