< Matthew 12 >

1 In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields, —and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
At that [very] time went Jesus on the Sabbaths through the grainfields; and the disciples of Him hungered and they began to pluck [the] heads of grain and to eat.
2 But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.
And the Pharisees having seen they said to Him; Behold the disciples of You are doing what not it is lawful to do on Sabbath.
3 And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how
He then said to them; Surely you have read what did David when he was hungry (he himself *k) and those with him?
4 he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, —save for the priests, alone?
how he entered into the house of God and the loaves of the presentation (they ate, *N+KO) (that which *N+kO) not lawful it was for him to eat nor for those with him only except for the priests alone?
5 Or have ye not read, in the law, that, on the sabbaths, the priests, in the temple, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless?
Or surely have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are?
6 But I say unto you, —Something greater than the Temple, is here!
I say however to you that than the temple (a greater *N+kO) is here.
7 If, however, ye had known what this meaneth—Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;
If however you had known what is; (mercy *N+kO) I desire and not [desire] sacrifice,’ not then would you have condemned the guiltless.
8 For, the Son of Man, is, Lord of the Sabbath.
lord for is (and *k) of the Sabbath the Son of Man.
9 And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue;
And having departed from there He went into the synagogue of them.
10 and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him.
And behold a man (was *k) a hand having withered; And they asked Him saying; Is it is lawful on the Sabbaths (to heal? *N+kO) so that they may accuse Him.
11 And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], —Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?
He then said to them; Who will there be among you man who will have sheep one, and if shall fall it on the Sabbaths into a pit, surely he will take hold of it and will raise [it] up?
12 How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.
How much therefore is more valuable a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbaths good to do.
13 Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, —and it was restored, whole, as the other.
Then He says to the man; do stretch out your hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
14 And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.
Having gone out now the Pharisees a counsel held against Him how Him they may destroy.
15 But, Jesus, taking note, retired from thence, —and many followed him, and he cured them all;
And Jesus having known He withdrew from there, And followed Him multitudes great, and He healed them all
16 and straitly charged them, lest they should make him, manifest:
and He warned them that not known Him they may make —
17 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: —
(so that *N+kO) may be fulfilled that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying;
18 Lo! my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom, my soul, delighteth, —I will put my Spirit upon him, and, justice, unto the nations, will he report:
Behold the servant of Mine whom I have chosen, the beloved of Mine (in whom *NK+o) has found delight the soul of Mine. I will put the Spirit of Mine upon Him, and justice to the Gentiles He will proclaim.
19 He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:
Not will He quarrel nor will he cry out, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of Him.
20 A bruised cane, will he not break, and, a smoking wick, will he not quench, —until he urge on, justice, to victory,
A reed bruised not He will break and a wick smoldering not He will quench until when He shall lead to victory justice.
21 And, in his name, shall nations hope.
And (in *k) in the name of Him [the] Gentiles will hope.
22 Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, —and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.
Then (was brought *NK+O) to Him ([one] being demonised blind *NK+O) and (mute, *NK+O) and He healed him in order for the (blind and *k) mute [man] (and *k) to speak and to see.
23 And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?
And were amazed all the crowds and were saying; surely not ever this is the Son of David?
24 But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.
And the Pharisees having heard said; This [man] not casts out the demons only except by Beelzebul prince of the demons.
25 And, knowing their inward thoughts, he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is laid waste, —and, no city or house divided against itself, will stand;
knowing now (Jesus *k) the thoughts of them He said to them; Every kingdom having been divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house having been divided against itself not will stand.
26 And, if, Satan, is casting, Satan, out, against himself, hath he become divided, —How then shall, his kingdom, stand?
And if Satan Satan casts out, against himself he is divided; How then will stand the kingdom of him?
27 And, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, judges of you.
And if I myself by Beelzebul cast out demons, the sons of you by whom do they cast out? On account of this they themselves judges will be of you.
28 But, if, in God’s Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!
If however by [the] Spirit of God I myself cast out demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
29 Or how can one enter the house of the mighty and, seize his goods, unless, first, he bind the mighty one? and, then, his house, he will plunder.
Or how is able anyone to enter into the house of the strong [man] and the goods of him (to plunder, *N+kO) only unless first he shall bind the strong [man]? And then the house of him (he will rob. *NK+O)
30 He that is no with me, is, against me, —and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth
The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters.
31 Wherefore, I say unto you, All sin and profane speaking, shall be forgiven unto men, —but, the speaking profanely of the Spirit, shall not be forgiven;
Because of this I say to you; every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, however against the Spirit blasphemy not will be forgiven (to the men. *k)
32 And, whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him, —but, whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the coming. (aiōn g165)
And who[ever] (if *N+kO) shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him; who[ever] now maybe shall speak against Spirit the Holy, not it will be forgiven to him neither in this (present *O) age nor in the [one] coming. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless, and its fruit worthless; for, from the fruit, the tree is known.
Either do make the tree good and the fruit of it good, or do make the tree bad and the fruit of it bad; by for the fruit the tree is known.
34 Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Offspring of vipers, how are you able good things to speak evil being? Out of for the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 The good man, out of the good treasure, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.
The good man out of good treasure (of [his] heart *K) puts forth good things, and the evil man out of [his] evil treasure puts forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;
I say now to you that every declaration careless that (if *k) (will speak *N+kO) men, they will give of it an account in day of judgment.
37 For, by thy words, shalt thou be, justified, and, by thy words, shalt thou be condemned.
By for the words of you you will be justified and by the words of you you will be condemned.
38 Then, answered him, certain of the Scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher! we desire of thee, a sign, to behold.
Then answered (to him *no) some of the scribes and Pharisees saying; Teacher, we wish from You a sign to see.
39 But, he, answering, said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek, and, a sign, will not be, given, it, save the sign of Jonah the prophet.
And answering He said to them; A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks for; and a sign not will be given to it only except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 For, just as was Jonah in the belly of the sea-monster three days and three nights, so, will be the Son of Man, in the heart of the earth, three days and three nights.
Just as for was Jonah in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so will be the Son of Man in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Men of Nineveh, will rise up in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it, —because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah; and lo! something greater than Jonah, here.
[The] men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold greater than Jonah here.
42 The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it—because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.
[The] queen of [the] south will rise up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold greater than Solomon here.
43 But, when the impure spirit goeth out of the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, —and findeth it not.
When now the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and none finds.
44 Then, it saith, Into my house, will I return whence I came out, —and, coming, findeth it empty [and] swept and adorned.
Then it says; To the house of mine I will return from where I came out. And having come it finds [it] being unoccupied, (and *o) swept and ordered.
45 Then, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself, —and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.
Then it goes and it takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered in they dwell there; and becomes the last man of that worse than the first. So it will be also to generation this the evil.
46 While yet he was speaking unto the multitudes, lo! his mother and brethren, were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
While (now *ko) when He is speaking to the crowds behold the mother and the brothers of Him had been standing outside seeking to Him to speak.
47 [And one said to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brethren, without, are standing, seeking, to speak, with thee.]
Said now someone to Him; Behold the mother of You and the brothers of you outside have stood seeking to You to speak.
48 But, he, answering, said unto him that was telling him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
And answering He said to the [one] (telling *N+kO) to Him; Who is the mother of Mine and who are the brothers of Mine?
49 And, stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, Lo! my mother and my brethren!
And having stretched out the hand of Him to the disciples of Him He said; Behold the mother of Mine and the brothers of Mine.
50 For, whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he, is my, brother, and sister, and mother.
Whoever for maybe may do the will the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens, he himself My brother and sister and mother is.
