Matthew 12:22-37

221ThenG5119 a 2demon-possessedG1139 man who was blindG5185 and unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 was broughtG4374 to 3Jesus, and He healedG2323 him soG5620 thatG5620 the manG2974 who was unableG2974 toG2974 speakG2974 talkedG2980 and 4could seeG991. 23And allG3956 the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1839 and were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 cannotG3385 be the 5SonG5207 of DavidG1160, can he?” 24But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 this, they saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 6castsG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 onlyG3756G1487G3361 by 7BeelzebulG954 the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

258And 9knowingG3609 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 10SatanG4567 is castingG1544 outG1544 SatanG4567, he 11has become dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG3767 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? 27And ifG1487 12by 13BeelzebulG954 I castG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140, 14by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them outG1544? ThereforeG1223G3778, they will be your judgesG2923. 28But 15ifG1487 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. 3016The one who is not with Me is againstG2596 Me; and the one who does not gatherG4863 with Me scattersG4650.

31“17ThereforeG1223G3778 I sayG3004 to you, everyG3956 sinG266 and blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 peopleG444, but blasphemyG988 against the SpiritG4151 shall not be forgivenG863. 3218And whoeverG3739G1437 speaksG3004 a wordG3056 againstG2596 the SonG5207 of ManG444, it shall be forgivenG863 him; but whoeverG3739G302 speaksG3004 againstG2596 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it shall not be forgivenG863 him, eitherG3777 in 19thisG3778 ageG165 orG3777 in the age toG3195 comeG3195.

33“EitherG2228 20assumeG4160 the treeG1186 to be goodG2570 asG2532 wellG2532 asG2532 its fruitG2590 goodG2570, orG2228 21assumeG4160 the treeG1186 to be badG4550 asG2532 wellG2532 asG2532 its fruitG2590 badG4550; for 22the treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its fruitG2590. 3423You 24offspringG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 canG1410 you, beingG1510 evilG4190, expressG2980 any goodG18 thingsG18? 25For the mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from that whichG4051 fillsG4051 the heartG2588. 3526The goodG18 personG444 bringsG1544 outG1544 of his goodG18 treasureG2344 goodG18 thingsG18; and the evilG4190 personG444 bringsG1544 outG1544 of his evilG4190 treasureG2344 evilG4190 thingsG4190. 36But I tellG3004 you that for everyG3956 27carelessG692 wordG4487 that peopleG444 28speakG2980, they will giveG591 an accountG3056 of it on the 29dayG2250 of judgmentG2920. 37For 30by your wordsG3056 you will be justifiedG1344, and 31by your wordsG3056 you will be condemnedG2613.”
