A crowd gathered again so that it was impossible for him and his followers even to eat. When his family heard what was happening, they came to take control of him. They were saying, \\u201cHe\\u2019s out of his mind!\\u201d\\nThe legal experts came down from Jerusalem. Over and over they charged, \\u201cHe\\u2019s possessed by Beelzebul. He throws out demons with the authority of the ruler of demons.\\u201d\\nWhen Jesus called them together he spoke to them in a parable: \\u201cHow can Satan throw Satan out? A kingdom involved in civil war will collapse. 25 And a house torn apart by divisions will collapse. If Satan rebels against himself and is divided, then he can\\u2019t endure. He\\u2019s done for. No one gets into the house of a strong person and steals anything without first tying up the strong person. Only then can the house be burglarized. I assure you that human beings will be forgiven for everything, for all sins and insults of every kind. But whoever insults the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. That person is guilty of a sin with consequences that last forever.\\u201d He said this because the legal experts were saying, \\u201cHe\\u2019s possessed by an evil spirit.\\u201d\\nHis mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent word to him, calling for him. A crowd was seated around him, and those sent to him said, \\u201cLook, your mother, brothers, and sisters are outside looking for you.\\u201d\\nHe replied, \\u201cWho is my mother? Who are my brothers?\\u201d Looking around at those seated around him in a circle, he said, \\u201cLook, here are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does God\\u2019s will is my brother, sister, and mother.\\u201d\\nThe post Even When Your Family Doesn\\u2019t Get It: Mark 3:20-35 \\u2013 Throwback appeared first on Queer Theology.'
