Exodus 2:1-10 and Mark 3:20-30 (NLT)

Exodus 2:1-10
The Birth of Moses

1    About this time, a man and woman from the tribe of Levi got married.
2    The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw that he was a special baby and kept him hidden for three months.
3    But when she could no longer hide him, she got a basket made of papyrus reeds and waterproofed it with tar and pitch. She put the baby in the basket and laid it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile River.
4    The baby’s sister then stood at a distance, watching to see what would happen to him. 
5    Soon Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe in the river, and her attendants walked along the riverbank. When the princess saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it for her.
6    When the princess opened it, she saw the baby. The little boy was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew children,” she said.
7    Then the baby’s sister approached the princess. “Should I go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” she asked.
 8    “Yes, do!” the princess replied. So the girl went and called the baby’s mother.
 9    “Take this baby and nurse him for me,” the princess told the baby’s mother. “I will pay you for your help.” So the woman took her baby home and nursed him. 
10   Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.”

Mark 3:20-30
Jesus and Beelzebub

20  One time Jesus entered a house, and the crowds began to gather again. Soon he and his disciples couldn’t even find time to eat. 

21  When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He’s out of his mind,” they said.

22  But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.”
23  Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration. “How can Satan cast out Satan?” he asked. 
24  “A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse. 
25  Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart. 
26  And if Satan is divided and fights against himself, how can he stand? He would never survive. 
27  Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.
28  “I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, 
29  but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.” 
30  He told them this because they were saying, “He’s possessed by an evil spirit.”
