Matthew 12:24-37

24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 1castsG1544 out demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 2BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

253And 4knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761 Jesus saidG3004 to them, “5AnyG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and 6anyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will not standG2476. 26IfG1487 7SatanG4567 castsG1544 out SatanG4567, he 8is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27IfG1487 I 9by 10BeelzebulG954 castG1544 out demonsG1140, 11by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? For thisG1223G3778 reasonG1223G3778 they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 12ifG1487 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. 3013He who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and he who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.

31“14ThereforeG1223G3778 I sayG3004 to you, anyG3956 sinG266 and blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 peopleG444, but blasphemyG988 against the SpiritG4151 shall not be forgivenG863. 3215WhoeverG3739G1437 16speaksG3004 a wordG3056 againstG2596 the SonG5207 of ManG444, it shall be forgivenG863 him; but whoeverG3739G302 17speaksG3004 againstG2596 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it shall not be forgivenG863 him, eitherG3777 in 18thisG3778 ageG165 orG3777 in the age to comeG3195.

33“EitherG2228 makeG4160 the treeG1186 goodG2570 and its fruitG2590 goodG2570, orG2228 makeG4160 the treeG1186 badG4550 and its fruitG2590 badG4550; for 19the treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its fruitG2590. 3420You broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 canG1410 you, beingG1510 evilG4190, speakG2980 21what is goodG18? 22For the mouthG4750 speaksG2980 out of that whichG4051 fillsG4051 the heartG2588. 3523The goodG18 manG444 bringsG1544 out of his goodG18 treasureG2344 24what is goodG18; and the evilG4190 manG444 bringsG1544 out of his evilG4190 treasureG2344 25what is evilG4190. 36But I tellG3004 you that everyG3956 26carelessG692 wordG4487 that peopleG444 27speakG2980, they shall giveG591 an accountingG3056 for it in 28the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920. 37For 29by your wordsG3056 you will be justifiedG1344, and 30by your wordsG3056 you will be condemnedG2613.”
