Revised Version 1895
1At thatG1565 seasonG2540 JesusG2424 wentG4198 onG1722 theG3588 sabbathG4521 dayG4521 throughG1223 theG3588 cornfields; andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were anG2532 hungred, andG2532 beganG757 toG757 pluck ears ofG1223 corn, andG2532 toG757 eatG2068. 2ButG1161 theG3588 PhariseesG5330, whenG1161 theyG846 sawG3708 itG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, thy disciplesG3101 doG4160 thatG3739 whichG3739 itG846 is notG3756 lawfulG1832 toG3004 doG4160 upon theG3588 sabbathG4521. 3ButG1161 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Have ye notG3756 readG314 whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160, whenG3753 heG2532 was anG2532 hungred, andG2532 theyG846 thatG3004 were withG3326 himG846; 4howG4459 beG1510 enteredG1525 intoG1519 theG3588 houseG3624 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 didG1510 eatG2068 theG3588 shewbread, whichG3739 itG846 wasG1510 notG3756 lawfulG1832 forG1519 himG846 toG1519 eatG2068, neitherG3756 forG1519 themG846 thatG3739 wereG1510 withG3326 himG846, butG2532 onlyG3441 forG1519 theG3588 priestsG2409? 5OrG2228 haveG1510 ye notG3756 readG314 inG1722 theG3588 lawG3551, howG3754 thatG3754 onG1722 theG3588 sabbathG4521 dayG4521 theG3588 priestsG2409 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2413 profane theG3588 sabbathG4521, andG2532 areG1510 guiltless? 6ButG1161 IG3754 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 oneG3588 greaterG3173 thanG3173 theG3588 templeG2413 isG1510 hereG5602. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 ye hadG1510 knownG1097 whatG5101 thisG3588 meaneth, IG2532 desireG2309 mercyG1656, andG2532 notG3756 sacrificeG2378, ye wouldG302 notG3756 haveG1510 condemned theG3588 guiltless. 8ForG1063 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 isG1510 lordG2962 ofG5207 theG3588 sabbathG4521. 9AndG2532 heG2532 departedG3327 thence, andG2532 wentG2064 intoG1519 theirG846 synagogueG4864: 10andG2532 beholdG2400, a manG444 havingG2192 a witheredG3584 handG5495. AndG2532 theyG846 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, Is itG846 lawfulG1832 toG2443 healG2323 onG5495 theG3588 sabbathG4521 dayG4521? thatG2443 theyG846 mightG2532 accuseG2723 himG846. 11AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 manG444 shallG444 thereG1510 beG1510 ofG1537 youG5210, thatG3739 shallG444 have oneG1520 sheepG4263, andG2532 ifG1437 thisG3778 fallG1706 intoG1519 a pitG999 onG1519 theG3588 sabbathG4521 dayG4521, willG1510 heG2532 notG3780 lay holdG2902 onG1519 itG846, andG2532 liftG1453 itG846 outG1537? 12HowG4214 muchG4214 thenG3767 is a manG444 ofG444 moreG1308 value thanG1308 a sheepG4263! Wherefore itG4160 is lawfulG1832 toG1832 doG4160 goodG2573 onG4160 theG3588 sabbathG4521 dayG4521. 13ThenG2532 saith heG2532 toG3004 theG3588 manG444, StretchG1614 forth thy handG5495. AndG2532 heG2532 stretchedG1614 itG5119 forth; andG2532 itG5119 was restoredG600 whole, asG5613 theG3588 otherG243. 14ButG1161 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 wentG1831 outG1831, andG1161 tookG2983 counsel againstG2596 himG846, howG3704 theyG846 might destroyG622 himG846. 15AndG2532 JesusG2424 perceivingG1097 itG846 withdrewG402 fromG2424 thence: andG2532 manyG4183 followedG190 himG846; andG2532 heG2532 healedG2323 themG846 allG3956, 16andG2532 charged themG846 thatG2443 theyG846 shouldG2443 notG3361 makeG4160 himG846 knownG5318: 17thatG2443 itG1223 might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG3004 byG1223 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396, sayingG3004, 18BeholdG2400, myG3708 servantG3816 whomG3739 IG1473 have chosenG140; MyG3708 belovedG27 inG1519 whomG3739 myG3708 soulG5590 is wellG2532 pleasedG2106: IG1473 willG3739 putG5087 myG3708 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 himG846, AndG2532 heG2532 shallG2532 declare judgmentG2920 toG1519 theG3588 GentilesG1484. 19HeG846 shallG191 notG3756 strive, norG3761 cryG5456 aloud; NeitherG3756 shallG191 anyG5100 oneG5100 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 inG1722 theG3588 streetsG4116. 20A bruisedG4937 reedG2563 shallG2532 heG2532 notG3756 breakG2608, AndG2532 smoking flax shallG2532 heG2532 notG3756 quenchG4570, Till heG2532 sendG1544 forth judgmentG2920 unto victoryG3534. 21AndG2532 inG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 shallG2532 theG3588 GentilesG1484 hopeG1679. 22ThenG2532 was broughtG4374 unto himG846 oneG3588 possessed withG2532 a devil, blindG5185 andG2532 dumb: andG2532 heG2532 healedG2323 himG846, insomuch thatG5620 theG3588 dumb manG5185 spake andG2532 sawG991. 23AndG2532 allG3956 theG3956 multitudesG3793 wereG1510 amazedG1839, andG2532 saidG3004, IsG1510 thisG3778 theG3956 sonG5207 ofG5207 DavidG1138? 24ButG1161 whenG1161 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 heardG191 itG191, theyG1161 saidG3004, ThisG3778 manG3778 doth notG3756 castG1544 outG1544 devils, butG1161 byG1722 Beelzebub theG3588 princeG758 ofG1722 theG3588 devils. 25AndG2532 knowingG1492 theirG846 thoughtsG1761 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 is broughtG2476 toG3004 desolation; andG2532 everyG3956 cityG4172 orG2228 houseG3614 dividedG3307 againstG2596 itselfG1438 shallG2532 notG3756 standG2476: 26andG2532 ifG1487 SatanG4567 casteth outG1544 SatanG4567, heG2532 is dividedG3307 againstG1909 himselfG1438; howG4459 thenG2532 shallG2532 hisG846 kingdomG932 standG2476? 27AndG2532 ifG1487 IG1473 byG1722 Beelzebub castG1544 outG1544 devils, byG1722 whomG5101 doG1510 yourG1487 sonsG5207 castG1544 themG846 outG1544? thereforeG1223 shallG3778 theyG846 beG1510 yourG1487 judgesG2923. 28ButG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 byG1722 theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG932 GodG2316 castG1544 outG1544 devils, thenG1161 is theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 GodG2316 comeG5348 uponG1909 youG5210. 29OrG2228 howG4459 canG1410 oneG5100 enterG1525 intoG1519 theG3588 houseG3614 ofG5100 theG3588 strongG2478 manG5100, andG2532 spoil hisG846 goodsG4632, exceptG3361 heG2532 firstG4413 bindG1210 theG3588 strongG2478 manG5100? andG2532 thenG2532 heG2532 willG5100 spoil hisG846 houseG3614. 30HeG2532 thatG3326 isG1510 notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 isG1510 againstG2596 meG1473; andG2532 heG2532 thatG3326 gathereth notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 scattereth. 31ThereforeG1223 IG2532 sayG3004 unto youG5210, EveryG3956 sinG266 andG2532 blasphemyG988 shallG444 beG2532 forgivenG863 unto menG444; butG1161 theG3956 blasphemyG988 againstG3756 theG3956 SpiritG4151 shallG444 notG3756 beG2532 forgivenG863. 32AndG2532 whosoever shallG444 speakG3004 a wordG3056 againstG2596 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444, itG846 shallG444 beG2532 forgivenG863 himG846; butG1161 whosoever shallG444 speakG3004 againstG2596 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151, itG846 shallG444 notG3756 beG2532 forgivenG863 himG846, neitherG3777 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG165, norG3777 inG1722 thatG3739 whichG3739 is toG3004 comeG3195. 33EitherG2228 makeG4160 theG3588 treeG1186 goodG2570, andG2532 itsG846 fruitG2590 goodG2570; orG2228 makeG4160 theG3588 treeG1186 corrupt, andG2532 itsG846 fruitG2590 corrupt: forG1063 theG3588 treeG1186 is knownG1097 byG1537 itsG846 fruitG2590. 34Ye offspringG1081 ofG1537 vipersG2191, howG4459 canG1410 ye, beingG1510 evilG4190, speakG2980 goodG18 thingsG18? forG1063 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 abundanceG4051 ofG1537 theG3588 heartG2588 theG3588 mouthG4750 speaketh. 35TheG3588 goodG18 manG444 outG1537 ofG1537 hisG2532 goodG18 treasureG2344 bringeth forth goodG18 thingsG18: andG2532 theG3588 evilG4190 manG444 outG1537 ofG1537 hisG2532 evilG4190 treasureG2344 bringeth forth evilG4190 thingsG18. 36AndG1161 IG3739 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 everyG3956 idleG692 wordG3056 thatG3754 menG444 shallG444 speakG2980, theyG846 shallG444 giveG591 accountG3056 thereof inG1722 theG3956 dayG2250 ofG3056 judgmentG2920. 37ForG1063 byG1537 thy wordsG3056 thou shalt beG2532 justifiedG1344, andG2532 byG1537 thy wordsG3056 thou shalt beG2532 condemned. 38ThenG2532 certainG5100 ofG575 theG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 answeredG611 himG846, sayingG3004, Master, weG2532 wouldG5100 seeG3708 a signG4592 fromG575 thee. 39ButG1161 heG2532 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, AnG1325 evilG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1161 a signG4592; andG2532 thereG1161 shallG4396 noG3756 signG4592 beG2532 givenG1325 toG3004 itG846 butG1161 theG3588 signG4592 ofG3004 JonahG2495 theG3588 prophetG4396: 40forG1063 asG1722 JonahG2495 wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 theG3588 bellyG2836 ofG5207 theG3588 whale; soG2532 shallG444 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 beG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 theG3588 heartG2588 ofG5207 theG3588 earthG1093. 41TheG3588 menG435 ofG435 NinevehG3536 shallG3778 standG450 upG450 inG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG1074, andG2532 shallG3778 condemnG2632 itG846: forG1519 theyG846 repentedG3340 at theG3588 preachingG2782 ofG435 JonahG2495; andG2532 beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 thanG4183 JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 42TheG3588 queenG938 ofG1537 theG3588 southG3558 shallG3778 riseG1453 upG1453 inG1722 theG3588 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG1074, andG2532 shallG3778 condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 sheG846 cameG2064 fromG1537 theG3588 endsG4009 ofG1537 theG3588 earthG1093 toG2064 hearG191 theG3588 wisdomG4678 ofG1537 SolomonG4672; andG2532 beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 thanG4183 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 43ButG1161 theG3588 uncleanG169 spiritG4151, whenG3752 heG2532 is goneG1831 outG1831 ofG4151 theG3588 manG444, passeth throughG1223 waterlessG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372, andG2532 findeth itG1223 notG3756. 44ThenG2532 heG2532 saith, IG1473 willG2532 returnG1994 intoG1519 myG3004 houseG3624 whence IG1473 cameG2064 outG1831; andG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 is comeG2064, heG2532 findeth itG5119 empty, sweptG4563, andG2532 garnished. 45ThenG2532 goeth heG2532, andG2532 taketh withG3326 himselfG1438 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 thanG2532 himselfG1438, andG2532 theyG2532 enterG1525 inG2730 andG2532 dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 theG3588 lastG2078 state ofG4151 thatG1565 manG444 becometh worseG5501 thanG2532 theG3588 firstG4413. EvenG2532 soG2532 shallG444 itG5119 beG1510 alsoG2532 unto thisG3778 evilG4190 generationG1074. 46WhileG2980 heG2532 was yetG2532 speakingG2980 toG2212 theG3588 multitudesG3793, beholdG2400, hisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80 stoodG2476 withoutG2532, seekingG2212 toG2212 speakG2980 toG2212 himG846. 47AndG2532 oneG5100 saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, thy motherG3384 andG2532 thy brethrenG80 standG2476 withoutG2532, seekingG2212 toG3004 speakG2980 toG3004 thee. 48ButG1161 heG2532 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846 thatG3004 toldG3004 himG846, WhoG3588 isG1510 myG3004 motherG3384? andG2532 whoG3588 areG1510 myG3004 brethrenG80? 49AndG2532 heG2532 stretchedG1614 forth hisG846 handG5495 towards hisG846 disciplesG3101, andG2532 saidG3004, BeholdG2400, myG3708 motherG3384 andG2532 myG3708 brethrenG80! 50ForG1063 whosoever shallG2532 doG4160 theG3588 willG2307 ofG2307 myG1722 FatherG3962 whichG3748 isG1510 inG1722 heavenG3772, heG2532 isG1510 myG1722 brotherG80, andG2532 sisterG79, andG2532 motherG3384.
