Reading for December 21st

Read Mark 3.20-35 (Mt 12.22-37; Lk 11.14-23) Rejections.
Jesus's family doubts his sanity, and he replaces the biological family with the family of faith.
In verse 22 Beelzebul refers to a false god (2 Kings 1.2) or demon.
the scribes accept Jesus' power but question the source of his authority;
they ironically charge Jesus the exorcist with being possessed.
In verse 23 parables (see sidebar on p. 22); Mark does not present parables until 4.3.
