Matthew 12

1AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG3588G2540 JesusG3588G2424 went onG4198 the sabbath dayG3588G4521 throughG1223 the grainfieldsG4702; andG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were an hungredG3983, andG2532 beganG756 to pluckG5089 the heads of grainG4719, andG2532 to eatG2068. 2But whenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 it, they saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG3708, thyG4771 disciplesG3588G3101 doG4160 that whichG3739 isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 to doG4160 uponG1722 the sabbath dayG4521. 3ButG1161 heG3588 saidG3004 unto themG846, Have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160, whenG3753 heG846 was an hungredG3983, andG2532 they that wereG3588 withG3326 himG846; 4HowG4459 he enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3624 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 did eatG5315 the shewbreadG3588G740G4286, whichG3739 wasG1510 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for himG846 to eatG5315, neitherG3761 for them which wereG3588 withG3326 himG846, butG1487 onlyG3441 for the priestsG3588G2409? 5OrG2228 have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 inG1722 the lawG3588G3551, how thatG3754 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521 the priestsG3588G2409 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411 profaneG953 the sabbathG3588G4521, andG2532 areG1510 blamelessG338? 6ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 in this placeG5602 isG1510 one greater thanG3173 the templeG3588G2411. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 ye had knownG1097 whatG5101 this meanethG1510, I will haveG2309 mercyG1656, andG2532 notG3756 sacrificeG2378, yeG2613 wouldG302 notG3756 have condemnedG2613 the guiltlessG338. 8ForG1063 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 isG1510 LordG2962 evenG2532 of the sabbath dayG3588G4521. 9AndG2532 when he was departedG3327 thenceG1564, he wentG2064 intoG1519 theirG846 synagogueG3588G4864:

10AndG2532, beholdG3708, there wasG1510 a manG444 which hadG2192 his handG3588G5495 witheredG3584. AndG2532 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, Is it lawfulG1832 to healG2323 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521? thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 heG3588 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 manG444 shall there beG1510 amongG1537 youG4771, thatG3739 shall haveG2192 oneG1520 sheepG4263, andG2532 ifG1437 itG3778 fallG1706 intoG1519 a pitG999 on the sabbath dayG3588G4521, will heG2902 notG3780 lay hold onG2902 itG846, andG2532 liftG1453 it outG1453? 12How muchG4214 thenG3767 isG1308 a manG444 betterG1308 than a sheepG4263? WhereforeG5620 it is lawfulG1832 to doG4160 wellG2573 on the sabbath daysG3588G4521. 13ThenG5119 saith heG3004 to the manG3588G444, Stretch forthG1614 thineG4771 handG3588G5495. AndG2532 he stretchedG1614 it forthG1614; andG2532 it was restoredG600 wholeG5199, like asG5613 the otherG243.

14ThenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 went outG1831, and heldG2983 a councilG4824 againstG2596 himG846, howG3704 they might destroyG622 himG846. 15But whenG1161 JesusG2424 knewG1097 it, he withdrew himselfG402 from thenceG1564: andG2532 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 followedG190 himG846, andG2532 he healedG2323 themG846 allG3956; 16AndG2532 chargedG2008 themG846 thatG2443 they shouldG4160 notG3361 makeG4160 himG846 knownG5318: 17ThatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 which was spokenG2046 byG1223 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, 18BeholdG3708 myG1473 servantG3588G3816, whomG3739 I have chosenG140; myG1473 belovedG27, inG1519 whomG3739 myG1473 soulG3588G5590 is well pleasedG2106: I will putG5087 myG1473 spiritG3588G4151 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 he shall shewG518 judgmentG2920 to the GentilesG3588G1484. 19He shallG2051 notG3756 striveG2051, norG3761 cryG2905; neitherG3761 shallG191 any manG5100 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG3588G5456 inG1722 the streetsG3588G4113. 20A bruisedG4937 reedG2563 shall heG2608 notG3756 breakG2608, andG2532 smokingG5188 flaxG3043 shall heG4570 notG3756 quenchG4570, tillG2193 he send forthG1544 judgmentG3588G2920 untoG1519 victoryG3534. 21AndG2532 inG1722 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679.

22ThenG5119 was broughtG4374 unto himG846 one possessed with a devilG1139, blindG5185, andG2532 dumbG2974: andG2532 he healedG2323 himG846, insomuch thatG5620 the blindG5185 andG2532 dumbG2974 bothG2532 spakeG2980 andG2532 sawG991. 23AndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG3588G3793 were amazedG1839, andG2532 saidG3004, IsG1510 notG3385 thisG3778 the sonG3588G5207 of DavidG1138? 24But whenG1161 the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 it, they saidG3004, ThisG3778 fellow dothG1544 notG3756 cast outG1544 devilsG3588G1140, butG1487 byG1722 BeelzebubG954 the princeG758 of the devilsG3588G1140. 25AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 knewG1492 theirG846 thoughtsG3588G1761, and saidG3004 unto themG846, EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is brought to desolationG2049; andG2532 everyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 shallG2476 notG3756 standG2476: 26AndG2532 ifG1487 SatanG3588G4567 cast outG1544 SatanG3588G4567, he is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 shallG2476 thenG3767 hisG846 kingdomG3588G932 standG2476? 27AndG2532 ifG1487 IG1473 byG1722 BeelzebubG954 cast outG1544 devilsG3588G1140, byG1722 whom doG5101 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5207 castG1544 them outG1544? thereforeG1223 theyG846 shall beG1510 yourG4771 judgesG2923. 28ButG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 cast outG1544 devilsG3588G1140 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, thenG686 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 is comeG5348 untoG1909 youG4771. 29Or elseG2228 howG4459 canG1410 oneG5100 enterG1525 intoG1519 a strong man’sG2478 houseG3588G3614, andG2532 spoilG1283 hisG846 goodsG3588G4632, exceptG1437 heG1210 firstG4412 bindG1210 the strong manG2478? andG2532 thenG5119 he will spoilG1283 hisG846 houseG3588G3614. 30He that isG1510 notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 isG1510 againstG2596 meG1473; andG2532 he that gatherethG4863 notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 scattereth abroadG4650.

31WhereforeG1223 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, All manner ofG3956 sinG266 andG2532 blasphemyG988 shall be forgivenG863 unto menG3588G444: butG1161 the blasphemyG988 against theG3588G4151 Holy GhostG3588G4151 shallG863 notG3756 be forgivenG863 unto menG3588G444. 32AndG2532 whosoeverG3739G302 speakethG3004 a wordG3056 againstG2596 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444, it shall be forgivenG863 himG846: butG1161 whosoeverG3739G302 speakethG3004 againstG2596 the HolyG3588G40 GhostG3588G4151, it shallG863 notG3756 be forgivenG863 himG846, neitherG3777 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG3588G165, neitherG3777 inG1722 theG3588G3195 world to comeG3588G3195. 33EitherG2228 makeG4160 the treeG3588G1186 goodG2570, andG2532 hisG846 fruitG3588G2590 goodG2570; or elseG2228 makeG4160 the treeG3588G1186 corruptG4550, andG2532 hisG846 fruitG3588G2590 corruptG4550: forG1063 the treeG3588G1186 is knownG1097 byG1537 his fruitG3588G2590. 34O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG1410, beingG1510 evilG4190, speakG2980 good thingsG18? forG1063 outG1537 of the abundanceG3588G4051 of the heartG3588G2588 the mouthG3588G4750 speakethG2980. 35AG3588G444 goodG18 manG3588G444 outG1537 of the goodG3588G18 treasureG2344 of the heartG3588G2588 bringeth forthG1544 good thingsG3588G18: andG2532 anG3588G444 evilG4190 manG3588G444 outG1537 of theG3588G2344 evilG4190 treasureG3588G2344 bringeth forthG1544 evil thingsG4190. 36ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 everyG3956 idleG692 wordG4487 thatG3739 menG3588G444 shall speakG2980, they shall giveG591 accountG3056 thereofG846 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920. 37ForG1063 byG1537 thyG4771 wordsG3588G3056 thou shalt be justifiedG1344, andG2532 byG1537 thyG4771 wordsG3588G3056 thou shalt be condemnedG2613.

38ThenG5119 certainG5100 of the scribesG3588G1122 andG2532 of the PhariseesG5330 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, we wouldG2309 seeG3708 a signG4592 fromG575 theeG4771. 39ButG1161 heG3588 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, AnG1074 evilG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 to itG846, butG1487 the signG3588G4592 of the prophetG3588G4396 JonahG2495: 40ForG1063 asG5618 JonahG2495 wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the whale’sG3588G2785 bellyG3588G2836; soG3779 shallG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 beG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the heartG3588G2588 of the earthG3588G1093. 41The menG435 of NinevehG3536 shall riseG450 inG1722 judgmentG3588G2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG3588G2782 of JonahG2495; andG2532, beholdG3708, a greaterG4119 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 42The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG3588G2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the uttermost partsG3588G4009 of the earthG3588G1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG3588G4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG3708, a greaterG4119 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 43WhenG3752 theG4151 uncleanG169 spiritG4151 is goneG1831 out ofG575 a manG3588G444, he walkethG1330 throughG1223 dryG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372, andG2532 findethG2147 noneG3756. 44ThenG5119 he saithG3004, I will returnG1994 intoG1519 myG1473 houseG3588G3624 from whenceG3606 I came outG1831; and whenG2532 he is comeG2064, he findethG2147 it emptyG4980, sweptG4563, andG2532 garnishedG2885. 45ThenG5119 goeth heG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 withG3326 himselfG1438 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4190 than himselfG1438, andG2532 they enter inG1525 and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state ofG3588G444 thatG1565 manG3588G444 isG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413. Even soG3779 shall it beG1510 alsoG2532 untoG3588G1074 thisG3778 wickedG3588G4190 generationG3588G1074. 46

WhileG2980 heG846 yetG2089 talkedG2980 to the peopleG3588G3793, beholdG3708, his motherG3588G3384 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80 stoodG2476 withoutG1854, desiringG2212 to speakG2980 with himG846. 47ThenG1161 oneG5100 saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG3708, thyG4771 motherG3588G3384 andG2532 thyG4771 brethrenG3588G80 standG2476 withoutG1854, desiringG2212 to speakG2980 with theeG4771. 48ButG1161 heG3588 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him that toldG3004 himG846, WhoG5101 isG1510 myG1473 motherG3588G3384? andG2532 whoG5101 areG1510 myG1473 brethrenG3588G80? 49AndG2532 he stretched forthG1614 hisG846 handG3588G5495 towardG1909 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, and saidG3004, BeholdG3708 myG1473 motherG3588G3384 andG2532 myG1473 brethrenG3588G80! 50ForG1063 whosoeverG3748G302 shall doG4160 the willG3588G2307 ofG3588G3962 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3772, the sameG846 isG1510 myG1473 brotherG80, andG2532 sisterG79, andG2532 motherG3384.
