< 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. 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. 3 He then said to them; Surely you have read what did David when he was hungry (he himself *k) and those 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? 5 Or surely have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are? 6 I say however to you that than the temple (a greater *N+kO) 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. 8 lord for is (and *k) of the Sabbath the Son of Man. 9 And having departed from there He went into the synagogue of them. 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. 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? 12 How much therefore is more valuable a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbaths good to do. 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. 14 Having gone out now the Pharisees a counsel held against Him how Him they may destroy. 15 And Jesus having known He withdrew from there, And followed Him multitudes great, and He healed them all 16 and He warned them that not known Him they may make — 17 (so that *N+kO) may be fulfilled that having been 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. 19 Not will He quarrel nor will he cry out, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of Him. 20 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 *k) in the name of Him [the] Gentiles 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. 23 And were amazed all the crowds and were saying; surely not ever this is 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. 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. 26 And if Satan Satan casts out, against himself he is divided; How then will stand the kingdom of him? 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. 28 If however by [the] Spirit of God I myself cast out demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God. 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) 30 The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters. 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) 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) 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. 34 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 good treasure (of [his] heart *K) puts forth good things, and the evil man out of [his] evil treasure puts forth evil things. 36 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 By for the words of you you will be justified and by the words of you 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. 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. 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. 41 [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 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 When now the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and none finds. 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. 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. 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. 47 Said now someone to Him; Behold the mother of You and the brothers of you outside have stood seeking to You to speak. 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? 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. 50 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.
