Matthew 12:22-37

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.

32And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one].

33Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt. For from the fruit the tree is known.

34Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

35The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things.

36But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:

37for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
