Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
In illo tempore abiit Iesus per sata sabbato: discipuli autem eius esurientes cœperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Pharisæi autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet facere sabbatis.
3 But he said unto them, Have all of you not read what David did, when he was an hungered, and they that were with him;
At ille dixit eis: Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant:
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis comedit, quos non licebat ei edere, neque his, qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus?
5 Or have all of you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Dico autem vobis, quia templo maior est hic.
7 But if all of you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, all of you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Si autem sciretis, quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium: numquam condemnassetis innocentes:
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Dominus enim est filius hominis etiam sabbati.
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Si licet sabbatis curare? ut accusarent eum.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Ipse autem dixit illis: Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit hæc sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit, et levabit eam?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Quanto magis melior est homo ove? Itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
13 Then says he to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.
Tunc ait homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Exeuntes autem Pharisæi, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quomodo perderent eum.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Iesus autem sciens recessit inde: et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes:
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
et præcepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem:
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit (pneuma) upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animæ meæ. Ponam spiritum meum super eum, et iudicium gentibus nunciabit.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Non contendet, neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem eius:
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec eiiciat ad victoriam iudicium:
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
et in nomine eius Gentes sperabunt.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
Tunc oblatus est ei dæmonium habens, cæcus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Et stupebant omnes turbæ, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Pharisæi autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non eiicit dæmones nisi in Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Iesus autem sciens cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum divisum contra se, desolabitur: et omnis civitas, vel domus divisa contra se, non stabit.
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Et si satanas satanam eiicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum eius?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Et si ego in Beelzebub eiicio dæmones, filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit (pneuma) of God, then the kingdom of God has come unto you.
Si autem ego in spiritu Dei eiicio dæmones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa eius diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? Et tunc domum illius diripiet.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall not be forgiven unto men.
Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum, et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, spiritus autem blasphemia non remittetur.
32 And whosoever speaks a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra filium hominis, remittetur ei: qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum sanctum, non remittetur ei neque in hoc sæculo, neque in futuro. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum eius bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum eius malum: siquidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
34 O generation of vipers, how can all of you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Progenies viperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word (rhema) that men shall speak, they shall give account (logos) thereof in the day of judgment.
Dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum, quod locuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii.
37 For by your words (logos) you shall be justified, and by your words (logos) you shall be condemned.
Ex verbis enim tuis iustificaberis, et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
Tunc responderunt ei quidam de Scribis et Pharisæis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala, et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionæ prophetæ.
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Sicut enim fuit Ionas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus; sic erit Filius hominis in corde terræ tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Viri Ninivitæ surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt in prædicatione Ionæ. Et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Regina austri surget in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
43 When the unclean spirit (pneuma) is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quærens requiem, et non invenit.
44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he has come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
Tunc dicit: Revertar in domum meam, unde exivi. Et veniens invenit eam vacantem, scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits (pneuma) more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi: et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huic pessimæ.
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater eius, et fratres stabant foras, quærentes loqui ei.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to speak with you.
Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quærentes te.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quæ est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Et extendens manum in discipulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Quicumque enim fecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est: ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
