Markos 3:14-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appointed and gave smichah to Shneym Asar (Twelve), whom also he designated Shlichim, that they might be with him [be mishtatef in Moshiach's chavurah], and that he might send them out as his Shlichim to preach,

15. and to have samchut (authority) to cast out shedim.

16. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appointed the Shneym Asar: Shimon, to whom he gave the name Kefa,

17. And Yaakov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan, Yaakov's brother. He gave to them the name Bnei Regesh, (Sons of Thunder).

18. And Andrew and Philippos and Bar-Talmai, and Mattityahu, and Toma, and Yaakov Ben Chalfai, and Taddai, and Shimon the Zealot,

19. And Yehudah from Kriot, the one who betrayed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

20. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach goes to his home shtetl; and again the multitude assembles, with the result that they were not able to have okhel (food).

21. And when his own mishpochah heard of this, they went out to constrain him. For they were saying, He is meshuga.

22. And the Sofrim (Scribes), the ones coming down from Yerushalayim, were saying, He is possessed by Baal-zibbul and by the Sar HaShedim he casts out shedim.

23. But having called them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking to them in meshalim: How can Hasatan cast out Hasatan?

24. And if a malchut is divided against itself, it is not possible for that malchut to stand.

25. And if a bais is divided against itself, it will not be possible for that bais to stand.

26. And if Hasatan has risen up against himself and is divided, it is not possible for him to stand, but his end has arrived.

27. But no one is able, having entered into the house of the Gibbor to plunder his possessions, unless first, he binds HaGibbor, and then he will plunder the Bayit HaGibbor.

28. Omein, I say to you that for everything-for the averos (sins) and the Chillul Hashem (Desecration of the Name), whatever blasphemies they may utter--the Bnei Adam will be granted selicha.
