Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Back to Bible
1 "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and all the abusive and blasphemous things they say;
2 but whoever[10] blasphemes against the Holy Spirit and His power [by attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin [a sin which is unforgivable in this present age as well as in the age to come]"—
3 [Jesus said this] because the scribes and Pharisees were [attributing His miracles to Satan by] saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
4 Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called for Him.
5 A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, "Look! Your mother and Your brothers are outside asking for You."
6 And He replied, "Who are My mother and My brothers?"
7 Looking at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
8 For[11] whoever does the will of God [by believing in Me, and following Me], he is My brother and sister and mother."
9 Again Jesus began to teach beside the sea [of Galilee]. And a very large crowd gathered around Him, so He got into a boat [anchoring it a short distance out] on the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the shore.
10 And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,
11 "Listen! A sower went out to sow seed;
12 and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up.
