Matthew 12:15-31

15But JesusG2424, 1awareG1097 of this, withdrewG402 from thereG1564. ManyG4183 followedG190 Him, and 2He healedG2323 them allG3956, 16and 3warnedG2008 them not to 4tellG5318 whoG846 He was. 17This was to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 throughG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396:18“5BeholdG2400, My 6ServantG3816 whomG3739 I 7have chosenG140; 8My BelovedG27 in whomG3739 My soulG5590 9is well-pleasedG2106; 10I will putG5087 My SpiritG4151 upon Him, 11And He shall proclaimG518 12justiceG2920 to the 13GentilesG1484.1914He will not quarrelG2051, norG3761 cryG2905 out; NorG3761 will anyoneG5100 hearG191 His voiceG5456 in the streetsG4116.2015A batteredG4937 reedG2563 He will not breakG2608 off, And a smolderingG5188 wickG3043 He will not putG4570 out, UntilG2193 He 16leadsG1544 17justiceG2920 to victoryG3534.2118And in His nameG3686 the 19GentilesG1484 will hopeG1679.”

2220ThenG5119 a 21demon-possessedG1139 man who was blindG5185 and muteG2974 was broughtG4374 to 22Jesus, and He healedG2323 him, soG5620 that the muteG2974 manG2974 spokeG2980 and sawG991. 23AllG3956 the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1839, and were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 man cannotG3385 be the 23SonG5207 of DavidG1160, can he?” 24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 24castsG1544 out demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 25BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

2526And 27knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761 Jesus saidG3004 to them, “28AnyG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and 29anyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will not standG2476. 26IfG1487 30SatanG4567 castsG1544 out SatanG4567, he 31is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27IfG1487 I 32by 33BeelzebulG954 castG1544 out demonsG1140, 34by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? For thisG1223G3778 reasonG1223G3778 they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 35ifG1487 I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, thenG686 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 upon you. 29OrG2228 howG4459 canG1410 anyoneG5100 enterG1525 the strongG2478 man’sG2478 houseG3614 and carryG726 offG726 his propertyG4632, unlessG1437G3361 he firstG4413 bindsG1210 the strongG2478 man? And thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614. 3036He who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and he who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.

31“37ThereforeG1223G3778 I sayG3004 to you, anyG3956 sinG266 and blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 peopleG444, but blasphemyG988 against the SpiritG4151 shall not be forgivenG863.
