Matthew 12:24-37

24But whenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 heard thisG191, they saidG2036, “OnlyG1487G3361 byG1722 BeelzebulG954,1 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. 32WhoeverG1437G3739 speaksG2036 a wordG3056 againstG2596 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will be forgivenG863G846, butG1161 whoeverG302G3739 speaksG2036 againstG2596 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will not be forgivenG3756G863G846, either inG1722 thisG3778 ageG165 or inG1722 theG3588 one to comeG3195.

MakeG4160 aG3588 treeG1186 goodG2570 andG2532 itsG846 fruitG2590 will be goodG2570, orG2228 makeG4160 aG3588 treeG1186 badG4550 andG2532 itsG846 fruitG2590 will be badG4550, forG1063 aG3588 treeG1186 is knownG1097 byG1537 its fruitG2590. 34You broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can youG1410 who areG1510 evilG4190 sayG2980 anything goodG18? ForG1063 out ofG1537 theG3588 overflowG4051 of theG3588 heartG2588 theG3588 mouthG4750 speaksG2980. 35TheG3588 goodG18 manG444 bringsG1544 good thingsG18 out ofG1537 hisG3588 goodG18 store of treasureG2344, andG2532 theG3588 evilG4190 manG444 bringsG1544 evil thingsG4190 out ofG1537 hisG3588 evilG4190 store of treasureG2344. 36ButG1161 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3588 menG444 will giveG591 an accountG3056 onG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 forG3754 everyG3956 carelessG692 wordG4487 they have spokenG2980. 37ForG1063 byG1537 yourG4771 wordsG3056 you will be acquittedG1344, andG2532 byG1537 yourG4771 wordsG3056 you will be condemnedG2613.”
