Matthew 12
1 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.
At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 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.
But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
3 He then said to them; Surely you have read what did David when he was hungry (he himself *k) and those with him?
But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4 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?
how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or surely have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are?
Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 I say however to you that than the temple (a greater *N+kO) is here.
But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
7 If however you had known what is; (mercy *N+kO) I desire and not [desire] sacrifice,’ not then would you have condemned the guiltless.
But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
8 lord for is (and *k) of the Sabbath the Son of Man.
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 And having departed from there He went into the synagogue of them.
He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
10 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.
And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
11 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?
He said to them, “What man is there amongst you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
12 How much therefore is more valuable a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbaths good to do.
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13 Then He says to the man; do stretch out your hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Having gone out now the Pharisees a counsel held against Him how Him they may destroy.
But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15 And Jesus having known He withdrew from there, And followed Him multitudes great, and He healed them all
Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16 and He warned them that not known Him they may make —
and commanded them that they should not make him known,
17 (so that *N+kO) may be fulfilled that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying;
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 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.
“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 Not will He quarrel nor will he cry out, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of Him.
He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 A reed bruised not He will break and a wick smoldering not He will quench until when He shall lead to victory justice.
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21 And (in *k) in the name of Him [the] Gentiles will hope.
In his name, the nations will hope.”
22 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.
Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 And were amazed all the crowds and were saying; surely not ever this is the Son of David?
All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
24 And the Pharisees having heard said; This [man] not casts out the demons only except by Beelzebul prince of the demons.
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
25 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.
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 And if Satan Satan casts out, against himself he is divided; How then will stand the kingdom of him?
If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 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.
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 If however by [the] Spirit of God I myself cast out demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
29 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)
Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.

31 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)
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32 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)
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 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.
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.

37 By for the words of you you will be justified and by the words of you you will be condemned.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38 Then answered (to him *no) some of the scribes and Pharisees saying; Teacher, we wish from You a sign to see.
Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 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.
But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 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.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

43 When now the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and none finds.
“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
44 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.
Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 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.
Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
46 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.
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Said now someone to Him; Behold the mother of You and the brothers of you outside have stood seeking to You to speak.
One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 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?
But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49 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.
He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
