Matthew 12:15-31
15But JesusG2424, 1awareG1097 of this, withdrewG402 fromG1564 thereG1564. ManyG4183 followedG190 Him, and 2He healedG2323 them allG3956, 16and 3warnedG2008 them not to 4tellG5318 whoG846 He was. 17This happened soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 throughG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 would be fulfilledG4137:18“5BeholdG2400, My 6ServantG3816 whomG3739 I 7have chosenG140; 8My BelovedG27 in whomG3739 My soulG5590 9delightsG2106; 10I will putG5087 My SpiritG4151 upon Him, 11And He will proclaimG518 12justiceG2920 to the 13GentilesG1484.1914He will not quarrelG2051, norG3761 cryG2905 out; NorG3761 will anyoneG5100 hearG191 His voiceG5456 in the streetsG4116.2015A bentG4937 reedG2563 He will not breakG2608 off, And a dimlyG5188 burningG5188 wickG3043 He will not extinguishG4570, UntilG2193 He 16leadsG1544 17justiceG2920 to victoryG3534.2118And in His nameG3686 the 19GentilesG1484 will hopeG1679.”
2220ThenG5119 a 21demon-possessedG1139 man who was blindG5185 and unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 was broughtG4374 to 22Jesus, and He healedG2323 him soG5620 thatG5620 the manG2974 who was unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 talkedG2980 and 23could seeG991. 23And allG3956 the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1839 and were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 cannotG3385 be the 24SonG5207 of DavidG1160, can he?” 24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 25castsG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 26BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”
2527And 28knowingG3609 their thoughtsG1761, Jesus saidG3004 to them, “EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and noG3756G3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 will standG2476. 26And ifG1487 29SatanG4567 is castingG1544 outG1544 SatanG4567, he 30has become dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27And ifG1487 31by 32BeelzebulG954 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140, 33by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them outG1544? ThereforeG1223G3778, they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 34ifG1487 I castG1544 outG1544 the 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 tiesG1210 upG1210 the strongG2478 man? And thenG5119 he will plunderG1283 his houseG3614. 3035The one who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and the one who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.
31“36ThereforeG1223G3778 I sayG3004 to you, everyG3956 sinG266 and blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 peopleG444, but blasphemyG988 against the SpiritG4151 shall not be forgivenG863.
