Matthew 12

1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Pharisees concerning the breach of the Sabbath, 3 by Scriptures, 10 by reason, 13 and by a miracle. 22 He healeth the man possessed that was blind and dumb. 31 Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven. 36 Account shall be made of idle words. 38 He rebuketh the unfaithful, who seek after a sign: 49 and sheweth who is his brother, sister, and mother.

 12:1 ¶ At 1722 that 1565 time 2540 Jesus 2424 went 4198 z5675 on the x3588 sabbath day 4521 through 1223 the x3588 corn; 4702 and y1161 x2532 his 846 disciples 3101 were an hungred, 3983 z5656 and 2532 began 756 z5662 to pluck 5089 z5721 the ears of corn, 4719 and 2532 to eat. 2068 z5721

 12:2 But 1161 when the x3588 Pharisees 5330 saw 1492 z5631 [it], they said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Behold, 2400 z5628 thy 4675 disciples 3101 do 4160 z5719 that which 3739 is y1832 z0 not y3756 lawful 1832 z5748 x3756 to do 4160 z5721 upon 1722 the sabbath day. 4521

 12:3 But 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Have ye y314 z0 not 3756 read 314 z5627 what 5101 David 1138 did, 4160 z5656 when 3753 he 846 was an hungred, 3983 z5656 and 2532 they y3326 x3588 that were with x2236 him; 846

 12:4 How 4459 he entered x1525 into 1519 y1525 z5627 the x3588 house 3624 of God, 2316 and 2532 did eat 5315 z5627 the x3588 shewbread, 740 4286 which 3739 was 2258 z5713 not 3756 lawful 1832 z5752 for him 846 to eat, 5315 z5629 neither x3761 for y3761 them x3588 which y3326 were with x3326 him, 846 but 1508 only 3441 for the x3588 priests? 2409

 12:5 Or 2228 have ye y314 z0 not 3756 read 314 z5627 in 1722 the x3588 law, 3551 how x3754 that y3754 on the x3588 sabbath days 4521 the x3588 priests 2409 in 1722 the x3588 temple 2411 profane 953 z5719 the x3588 sabbath, 4521 and 2532 are 1526 z5748 blameless? 338

 12:6 But 1161 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 in this place 5602 is x2076 [one] y2076 z5748 greater x3187 than y3187 the x3588 temple. 2411

 12:7 But 1161 if 1487 ye had known 1097 z5715 what 5101 [this] meaneth, 2076 z5748 I will x2309 have y2309 z5719 mercy, 1656 and 2532 not 3756 sacrifice, 2378 ye would y302 not 3756 have condemned 2613 z5656 the x3588 guiltless. 338

 12:8 For 1063 the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 is 2076 z5748 Lord 2962 even 2532 of the x3588 sabbath day. 4521

 12:9 And 2532 when he was departed 3327 z5631 thence, 1564 he went 2064 z5627 into 1519 their 846 synagogue: 4864

 12:10 ¶ And, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 there was 2258 z5713 a man 444 which had 2192 z5723 [his] hand 5495 withered. 3584 And 2532 they asked 1905 z5656 him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 x1487 Is it lawful 1832 y1487 z5748 to heal 2323 z5721 on the x3588 sabbath days? 4521 that 2443 they might accuse 2723 z5661 him. 846

 12:11 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 What 5101 man 444 shall there be 2071 z5704 among 1537 you, 5216 that 3739 shall have 2192 z5692 one 1520 sheep, 4263 and 2532 if 1437 it 5124 fall 1706 z5632 into 1519 a pit 999 on the x3588 sabbath day, 4521 will he y2902 z0 not 3780 lay hold 2902 z5692 on it, 846 and 2532 lift [it] out? 1453 z5692

 12:12 How much 4214 then 3767 is a man y444 better x1308 x4444 than y1308 z5719 a sheep? 4263 Wherefore 5620 it is lawful 1832 z5748 to do 4160 z5721 well 2573 on the x3588 sabbath days. 4521

 12:13 Then 5119 saith 3004 z5719 he to the x3588 man, 444 Stretch forth 1614 z5657 thine 4675 hand. y5495 And y2532 x5495 he x2532 stretched [it] forth; 1614 z5656 and 2532 it was restored 600 z5681 whole, 5199 like as 5613 the x3588 other. 243

 12:14 ¶ Then 1161 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 went out, 1831 z5631 and held 2983 z5627 a council 4824 against 2596 him, 846 how 3704 they might destroy 622 z5661 him. 846

 12:15 But 1161 when Jesus 2424 knew 1097 z5631 [it], he withdrew x402 himself y402 z5656 from thence: 1564 and 2532 great 4183 multitudes 3793 followed 190 z5656 him, 846 and 2532 he healed 2323 z5656 them 846 all; 3956

 12:16 And 2532 charged 2008 z5656 them 846 that y3363 z0 x2443 they should y4160 z0 not y3363 x3361 make 4160 z5661 him 846 known: 5318

 12:17 That 3704 it might be fulfilled 4137 z5686 which y3588 was spoken 4483 z5685 by 1223 Esaias 2268 the x3588 prophet, 4396 saying, 3004 z5723

 12:18 Behold 2400 z5628 my 3450 servant, 3816 whom 3739 I have chosen; 140 z5656 my 3450 beloved, 27 in 1519 whom 3739 my y3450 x1519 soul 5590 is well pleased: 2106 z5656 I will put 5087 z5692 my 3450 spirit 4151 upon 1909 him, 846 and 2532 he shall shew 518 z5692 judgment 2920 to the x3588 Gentiles. 1484

 12:19 He shall y2051 z0 not 3756 strive, 2051 z5692 nor 3761 cry; 2905 z5692 neither 3761 shall any man 5100 hear 191 z5692 his 846 voice 5456 in 1722 the x3588 streets. 4113

 12:20 A bruised 4937 z5772 reed 2563 shall he y2608 z0 not 3756 break, 2608 z5656 and 2532 smoking 5188 z5746 flax 3043 shall he y4570 z0 not 3756 quench, y4570 z5692 x4370 till 2193 302 he send forth 1544 z5632 judgment 2920 unto 1519 victory. 3534

 12:21 And 2532 in 1722 his 846 name 3686 shall y1679 z0 the Gentiles 1484 trust. 1679 z5692

 12:22 ¶ Then 5119 was brought 4374 z5681 unto him 846 one possessed with a devil, 1139 z5740 blind, 5185 and 2532 dumb: 2974 and 2532 he healed 2323 z5656 him, 846 insomuch that 5620 the x3588 blind 5185 and 2532 dumb 2974 both 2532 spake 2980 z5721 and 2532 saw. y991 z5721 x191

 12:23 And 2532 all 3956 the x3588 people 3793 were amazed, 1839 z5710 and 2532 said, 3004 z5707 Is 2076 z5748 not 3385 this 3778 the x3588 son 5207 of David? 1138

 12:24 But 1161 when the x3588 Pharisees 5330 heard 191 z5660 [it], they said, 2036 z5627 This 3778 [fellow] doth y1544 z0 not 3756 cast out 1544 z5719 devils, 1140 but 1508 by 1722 Beelzebub 954 the prince 758 of the x3588 devils. 1140

 12:25 And 1161 Jesus 2424 knew 1492 z5761 their 846 thoughts, 1761 and said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Every 3956 kingdom 932 divided 3307 z5685 against 2596 itself 1438 is brought to desolation; 2049 z5743 and 2532 every 3956 city 4172 or 2228 house 3614 divided 3307 z5685 against 2596 itself 1438 shall y2476 z0 not 3756 stand: 2476 z5701

 12:26 And 2532 if 1487 Satan 4567 cast out 1544 z5719 Satan, 4567 he is divided 3307 z5681 against 1909 himself; 1438 how 4459 shall y2476 z0 then 3767 his 846 kingdom 932 stand? 2476 z5701

 12:27 And 2532 if 1487 I 1473 by 1722 Beelzebub 954 cast out 1544 z5719 devils, 1140 by 1722 whom 5101 do your 5216 children 5207 cast [them] out? 1544 z5719 therefore 5124 1223 they 846 shall be 2071 z5704 your 5216 judges. 2923

 12:28 But 1161 if 1487 I 1473 cast out 1544 z5719 devils 1140 by 1722 the Spirit 4151 of God, 2316 then 686 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God 2316 is come 5348 z5656 unto 1909 you. 5209

 12:29 Or y2228 else x2228 how 4459 can 1410 z5736 one 5100 enter 1525 z5629 into 1519 a strong man's 2478 house, 3614 and 2532 spoil 1283 z5658 his 846 goods, 4632 except 3362 he first 4412 bind 1210 z5661 the x3588 strong man? 2478 and 2532 then 5119 he will spoil 1283 z5692 his 846 house. 3614

 12:30 He that is 5607 z5752 not 3361 with 3326 me 1700 is 2076 z5748 against 2596 me; 1700 and 2532 he that gathereth 4863 z5723 not 3361 with 3326 me 1700 scattereth abroad. 4650 z5719

 12:31 ¶ Wherefore 1223 5124 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 All manner x3956 of y3956 sin 266 and 2532 blasphemy 988 shall be forgiven 863 z5701 unto men: 444 but 1161 the x3588 blasphemy 988 [against] the x3588 [Holy] Ghost 4151 shall y863 z0 not 3756 be forgiven 863 z5701 unto men. 444

 12:32 And 2532 whosoever 3739 302 speaketh 2036 z5632 a word 3056 against 2596 the x3588 Son 5207 of man, 444 it shall be forgiven 863 z5701 him: 846 but y3739 x1161 whosoever 302 y1161 x3739 speaketh 2036 z5632 against 2596 the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 it shall y863 z0 not 3756 be forgiven 863 z5701 him, 846 neither 3777 in 1722 this 5129 world, 165 neither 3777 in 1722 the x3588 [world] to come. 3195 z5723

 12:33 Either 2228 make 4160 z5657 the x3588 tree 1186 good, 2570 and 2532 his 846 fruit 2590 good; 2570 or else 2228 make 4160 z5657 the x3588 tree 1186 corrupt, 4550 and 2532 his 846 fruit 2590 corrupt: 4550 for 1063 the x3588 tree 1186 is known 1097 z5743 by 1537 [his] fruit. 2590

 12:34 O generation 1081 of vipers, 2191 how 4459 can x1410 ye, y1410 z5736 being 5607 z5752 evil, 4190 speak 2980 z5721 good things? 18 for 1063 out x1537 of y1537 the x3588 abundance 4051 of the x3588 heart 2588 the x3588 mouth 4750 speaketh. 2980 z5719

 12:35 A good 18 man 444 out x1537 of y1537 the x3588 good 18 treasure 2344 of the x3588 heart 2588 bringeth forth 1544 z5719 good things: 18 and 2532 an evil 4190 man 444 out of 1537 the x3588 evil 4190 treasure 2344 bringeth forth 1544 z5719 evil things. 4190

 12:36 But 1161 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 every 3956 idle 692 word 4487 that 3739 1437 men 444 shall speak, 2980 z5661 they shall give 591 z5692 account 3056 thereof 4012 846 in 1722 the day 2250 of judgment. 2920

 12:37 For 1063 by 1537 thy 4675 words 3056 thou shalt be justified, 1344 z5701 and 2532 by 1537 thy 4675 words 3056 thou shalt be condemned. 2613 z5701

 12:38 ¶ Then 5119 certain 5100 of the x3588 scribes 1122 and 2532 of the Pharisees 5330 answered, 611 z5662 saying, 3004 z5723 Master, 1320 we would 2309 z5719 see 1492 z5629 a sign 4592 from 575 thee. 4675

 12:39 But 1161 he x3588 answered 611 z5679 and said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 An evil 4190 and 2532 adulterous 3428 generation 1074 seeketh after 1934 z5719 a sign; 4592 and 2532 there shall no 3756 sign 4592 be given 1325 z5701 to it, 846 but 1508 the x3588 sign 4592 of the x3588 prophet 4396 Jonas: 2495

 12:40 For 1063 as 5618 Jonas 2495 was 2258 z5713 three 5140 days 2250 and 2532 three 5140 nights 3571 in 1722 the x3588 whale's 2785 belly; 2836 so 3779 shall the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 be 2071 z5704 three 5140 days 2250 and 2532 three 5140 nights 3571 in 1722 the x3588 heart 2588 of the x3588 earth. 1093

 12:41 The men 435 of Nineveh 3536 shall rise 450 z5698 in 1722 judgment 2920 with 3326 this 5026 generation, 1074 and 2532 shall condemn 2632 z5692 it: 846 because 3754 they repented 3340 z5656 at 1519 the x3588 preaching 2782 of Jonas; 2495 and, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 a greater x4119 than y4119 Jonas 2495 [is] here. 5602

 12:42 The queen 938 of the south 3558 shall rise up 1453 z5701 in 1722 the x3588 judgment 2920 with 3326 this 5026 generation, 1074 and 2532 shall condemn 2632 z5692 it: 846 for 3754 she came 2064 z5627 from 1537 the x3588 uttermost parts 4009 of the x3588 earth 1093 to hear 191 z5658 the x3588 wisdom 4678 of Solomon; 4672 and, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 a greater x4119 than y4119 Solomon 4672 [is] here. 5602

 12:43 y1161 When 3752 the x3588 unclean 169 spirit 4151 is gone 1831 z5632 out of 575 a man, 444 he walketh 1330 z5736 through 1223 dry 504 places, 5117 seeking 2212 z5723 rest, 372 and 2532 findeth 2147 z5719 none. 3756

 12:44 Then 5119 he saith, 3004 z5719 I will return 1994 z5692 into 1519 my 3450 house 3624 from whence 3606 I came out; 1831 z5627 and 2532 when he is come, 2064 z5631 he findeth 2147 z5719 [it] empty, 4980 z5723 swept, 4563 z5772 and 2532 garnished. 2885 z5772

 12:45 Then 5119 goeth x4198 he, y4198 z5736 and 2532 taketh 3880 z5719 with 3326 himself 1438 seven 2033 other 2087 spirits 4151 more wicked 4191 than himself, 1438 and 2532 they enter in 1525 z5631 and dwell 2730 z5719 there: 1563 and 2532 the x3588 last 2078 [state] of that 1565 man 444 is 1096 z5736 worse x5501 than y5501 the x3588 first. 4413 Even so 3779 shall it be 2071 z5704 also 2532 unto this 5026 wicked 4190 generation. 1074

 12:46 ¶ While y2089 x1161 he 846 yet y1161 x2089 talked 2980 z5723 to the x3588 people, 3793 behold, 2400 z5628 [his] mother 3384 and 2532 his 846 brethren 80 stood 2476 z5715 without, 1854 desiring 2212 z5723 to speak 2980 z5658 with him. 846

 12:47 Then 1161 one 5100 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Behold, 2400 z5628 thy 4675 mother 3384 and 2532 thy 4675 brethren 80 stand 2476 z5758 without, 1854 desiring 2212 z5723 to speak 2980 z5658 with thee. 4671

 12:48 But 1161 he x3588 answered 611 z5679 and said 2036 z5627 unto him that told 2036 z5631 him, 846 Who 5101 is 2076 z5748 my 3450 mother? 3384 and 2532 who 5101 are 1526 z5748 my 3450 brethren? 80

 12:49 And 2532 he stretched forth 1614 z5660 his y846 x848 hand 5495 toward 1909 his y846 x848 disciples, 3101 and said, 2036 z5627 Behold 2400 z5628 my 3450 mother 3384 and 2532 my 3450 brethren! 80

 12:50 For 1063 whosoever 3748 y302 shall do 4160 z5661 the x3588 will 2307 of my 3450 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven, 3772 the same 846 is 2076 z5748 my 3450 brother, 80 and 2532 sister, 79 and 2532 mother. 3384
