Matthew 12:15-31

15But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

16and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

17that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

19He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;

20a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;

21and on his name shall [the] nations hope.

22Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb [man] spake and saw.

23And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this [man] the Son of David?

24But the Pharisees, having heard [it], said, This [man] does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons.

25But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.

26And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist?

27And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.

28But if I by [the] Spirit of 1God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of 2God is come upon you.

29Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong [man] and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong [man]? and then he will plunder his house.

30He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

31For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
