Matthew 12:15-31

15Aware of thisG1097, JesusG2424 withdrewG402 from that placeG1564. LargeG4183 crowdsG3793 followedG190 HimG846, andG2532 He healedG2323 themG846 allG3956, 16warningG2008 themG846 notG3361 to makeG4160 HimG846 knownG5318. 17This wasG2443 to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 throughG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268:

18“Here isG2400 MyG1473 ServantG3816,whomG3739 I have chosenG140,MyG1473 belovedG27,inG1519 whomG3739 MyG1473 soulG5590 delightsG2106.I will putG5087 MyG1473 SpiritG4151 onG1909 HimG846,andG2532 He will proclaimG518 justiceG2920 to theG3588 nationsG1484.19He will not quarrelG3756G2051 orG3761 cry outG2905;noG3761 oneG5100 will hearG191 HisG846 voiceG5456 inG1722 theG3588 streetsG4113.20A bruisedG4937 reedG2563 He will not breakG3756G2608,andG2532 a smolderingG5188 wickG3043 He will not extinguishG3756G4570,tillG2193G302 He leadsG1544 justiceG2920 toG1519 victoryG3534.21InG3588 HisG846 nameG3686 the nationsG1484 will put their hopeG1679.”1

22ThenG5119 a demon-possessed manG1139 who was blindG5185 andG2532 muteG2974 was broughtG4374 toG846 Jesus, andG2532 He healedG2323 the man so thatG5620 he could speakG2980 andG2532 seeG991. 23TheG3588 crowdsG3793 were astoundedG3956G1839 andG2532 askedG2036, “Could this beG1510G3385G3778 theG3588 SonG5207 of DavidG1138?”

24But whenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 heard thisG191, they saidG2036, “OnlyG1487G3361 byG1722 BeelzebulG954,2 the princeG758 of demonsG1140, does thisG3778 man drive outG3756G1544 demonsG1140.”

KnowingG1492 theirG846 thoughtsG1761, Jesus saidG2036 to themG846, “EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will be laid wasteG2049, andG2532 everyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 householdG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will not standG3756G2476. 26IfG1487 SatanG4567 drives outG1544 SatanG4567, he is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438. HowG4459 thenG3767 can hisG846 kingdomG932 standG2476? 27AndG2532 ifG1487 IG1473 drive outG1544 demonsG1140 byG1722 BeelzebulG954, byG1722 whomG5101 do yourG4771 sonsG5207 drive them outG1544? So thenG1223G3778, theyG846 will beG1510 yourG4771 judgesG2923. 28ButG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 drive outG1544 demonsG1140 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, thenG686 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 uponG1909 youG4771.

29OrG2228 again, howG4459 canG1410 anyoneG5100 enterG1525G1519 a strongG2478 man’s houseG3614 andG2532 stealG726 hisG846 possessionsG4632, unlessG1437G3361 he firstG4412 ties upG1210 theG3588 strongG2478 man? ThenG5119 he can plunderG1283 hisG846 houseG3614.

30He whoG3588 isG1510 notG3361 withG3326 MeG1473 isG1510 againstG2596 MeG1473, andG2532 he whoG3588 does notG3361 gatherG4863 withG3326 MeG1473 scattersG4650.

31ThereforeG1223G3778 I tellG3004 youG4771, everyG3956 sinG266 andG2532 blasphemyG988 will be forgivenG863 menG444, butG1161 theG3588 blasphemyG988 againstG3588 the SpiritG4151 will notG3756 be forgivenG863.
