Matthew 12:31-50

31“1ThereforeG1223G3778 I sayG3004 to you, everyG3956 sinG266 and blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 peopleG444, but blasphemyG988 against the SpiritG4151 shall not be forgivenG863. 322And 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 3thisG3778 ageG165 orG3777 in the age toG3195 comeG3195.

33“EitherG2228 4assumeG4160 the treeG1186 to be goodG2570 asG2532 wellG2532 asG2532 its fruitG2590 goodG2570, orG2228 5assumeG4160 the treeG1186 to be badG4550 asG2532 wellG2532 asG2532 its fruitG2590 badG4550; for 6the treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its fruitG2590. 347You 8offspringG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 canG1410 you, beingG1510 evilG4190, expressG2980 any goodG18 thingsG18? 9For the mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from that whichG4051 fillsG4051 the heartG2588. 3510The 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 11carelessG692 wordG4487 that peopleG444 12speakG2980, they will giveG591 an accountG3056 of it on the 13dayG2250 of judgmentG2920. 37For 14by your wordsG3056 you will be justifiedG1344, and 15by your wordsG3056 you will be condemnedG2613.”

38ThenG5119 someG5100 of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, 16we wantG2309 to seeG3708 a 17signG4592 from You.” 39But He answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “18An evilG4190 and adulterousG3428 generationG1074 cravesG1934 a 19signG4592; and so noG3756 20signG4592 will be givenG1325 to it exceptG1508 the 21signG4592 of JonahG2495 the prophetG4396; 40for justG5618 as 22JonahG2495 was in the stomachG2836 of the seaG2785 monsterG2785 for threeG5140 daysG2250 and threeG5140 nightsG3571, soG3779 will 23the SonG5207 of ManG444 be in the heartG2588 of the earthG1093 for 24threeG5140 daysG2250 and threeG5140 nightsG3571. 4125The menG435 of NinevehG3536 will standG450 upG450 with thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920, and will condemnG2632 it becauseG3754 26they repentedG3340 at the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; and beholdG2400, something 27greaterG4183 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 4228The QueenG938 of the SouthG3558 will riseG1453 upG1453 with thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920 and will condemnG2632 it, becauseG3754 she cameG2064 from the endsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; and beholdG2400, something 29greaterG4183 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.

43“30NowG1161 whenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 comesG1831 outG1831 of a personG444, it passesG1330 throughG1223 waterlessG504 placesG5117 seekingG2212 restG372, and does not findG2147 it. 44ThenG5119 it saysG3004, ‘I will returnG1994 to my houseG3624 fromG3606 whichG3606 I cameG1831’; and when it comesG2064, it findsG2147 it unoccupiedG4980, sweptG4563, and putG2885 inG2885 orderG2885. 45ThenG5119 it goesG4198 and bringsG3880 alongG3880 with it sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 wickedG4190 than itselfG1438, and they comeG1525 inG1525 and liveG2730 thereG1563; and 31the lastG2078 condition of that personG444 becomesG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413. That is the wayG3779 it will alsoG2532 be with thisG3778 evilG4190 generationG1074.”

4632While He was stillG2089 speakingG2980 to the crowdsG3793, beholdG2400, His 33motherG3384 and 34brothersG80 were standingG2476 outsideG1854, seekingG2212 to speakG2980 to Him. 47[35SomeoneG5100 saidG3004 to Him, “LookG2400, Your motherG3384 and Your brothersG80 are standingG2476 outsideG1854, seekingG2212 to speakG2980 to You.”] 48But 36Jesus repliedG611 to the one who was tellingG3004 Him and saidG3004, “WhoG5101 is My motherG3384, and whoG5101 are My brothersG80?” 49And extendingG1614 His handG5495 towardG1909 His disciplesG3101, He saidG3004, “BeholdG2400: My motherG3384 and My brothersG80! 50For whoeverG3748G302 doesG4160 the willG2307 of My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772, he is My brotherG80, and sisterG79, and motherG3384.”
