Tree of Life Version

Matthew 12:15-31

15Knowing this, Yeshua went away from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

16And He sternly warned them not to make Him known.

17This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18“Here is My servant whom I chose, the One I love, in whom My soul takes delight. I will put My Ruach upon Him, and He shall proclaim justice to the nations.

19He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

20A crushed reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until He brings forth justice to victory.

21And in His name the nations shall hope.”

22Then a demon-plagued man, who was blind and mute, was brought to Yeshua; and He healed him, so that he spoke and saw.

23All the crowds were astounded and saying, “This can’t be Ben-David, can it?”

24But hearing this, the Pharisees said, “This fellow drives out demons only by beelzebul, the ruler of demons.”

25Knowing their thoughts, Yeshua said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26If satan drives out satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

27And if I drive out demons by beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? For this reason, they will be your judges.

28But if I drive out demons by the Ruach Elohim, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he will thoroughly plunder his house.

30He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31“For this reason I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Ruach will not be forgiven.
