Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 012
012:001
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath
day
012:002
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when
he was an hungred, and they that were with him
012:003
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests
012:004
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days
the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
blameless
012:005
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple
012:006
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless
012:007
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day
012:008
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue
012:009
And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And
they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
days? that they might accuse him
012:010
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath
day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out
012:011
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawful to do well on the sabbath days
012:012
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other
012:013
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
how they might destroy him
012:014
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all
012:015
And charged them that they should not make him known
012:016
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying
012:017
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my
soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he
shall shew judgment to the Gentiles
012:018
He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
voice in the streets
012:019
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory
012:020
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust
012:021
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,
and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb
both spake and saw
012:022
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
of David
012:023
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils
012:024
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against itself shall not stand
012:025
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand
012:026
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges
012:027
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God is come unto you
012:028
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil
his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he
will spoil his house
012:029
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad
012:030
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men
012:031
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come
012:032
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known
by his fruit
012:033
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh
012:034
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth
forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things
012:035
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment
012:036
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned
012:037
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee
012:038
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas
012:039
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth
012:040
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here
012:041
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here
012:042
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none
012:043
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
garnished
012:044
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there:
and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even
so shall it be also unto this wicked generation
012:045
While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him
012:046
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to speak with thee
012:047
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren
012:048
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren
012:049
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother
