Matthew 12
1 At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat.
In illo tempore abiit Iesus per sata Sabbato: discipuli autem eius esurientes cœperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.
Pharisæi autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet facere Sabbatis.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
At ille dixit eis: Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant:
4 how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?
quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis comedit, quos non licebat ei edere, neque his, qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
Aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt?
6 But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here.
Dico autem vobis, quia templo maior est hic.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Si autem sciretis, quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium: numquam condemnassetis innocentes:
8 For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
Dominus enim est Filius hominis etiam Sabbati.
9 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:
Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
10 and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Si licet Sabbatis curare? ut accusarent eum.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Ipse autem dixit illis: Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit hæc Sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit, et levabit eam?
12 How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
Quanto magis melior est homo ove? Itaque licet Sabbatis benefacere.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.
Tunc ait homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
14 But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Exeuntes autem Pharisæi, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quomodo perderent eum.
15 And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,
Iesus autem sciens recessit inde: et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes:
16 and charged them that they should not make him known:
et præcepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem:
18 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 declare judgment to the Gentiles.
Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animæ meæ. Ponam Spiritum meum super eum, et iudicium gentibus nunciabit.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
Non contendet, neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem eius:
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec eiiciat ad victoriam iudicium:
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
et in nomine eius Gentes sperabunt.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.
Tunc oblatus est ei dæmonium habens, cæcus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?
Et stupebant omnes turbæ, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Pharisæi autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non eiicit dæmones nisi in Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum.
25 And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Iesus autem sciens cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum divisum contra se, desolabitur: et omnis civitas, vel domus divisa contra se, non stabit.
26 and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Et si Satanas Satanam eiicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum eius?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Et si ego in Beelzebub eiicio dæmones, filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
Si autem ego in Spiritu Dei eiicio dæmones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house.
Aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa eius diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? Et tunc domum illius diripiet.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
31 Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum, et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, Spiritus autem blasphemia non remittetur.
32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra Filium hominis, remittetur ei: qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum Sanctum, non remittetur ei neque in hoc sæculo, neque in futuro. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum eius bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum eius malum: Si quidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
34 Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Progenies viperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
35 The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
36 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum, quod locuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die iudicii.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Ex verbis enim tuis iustificaberis, et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee.
Tunc responderunt ei quidam de Scribis et Pharisæis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
39 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 Jonah the prophet:
Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala, et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionæ prophetæ.
40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Sicut enim fuit Ionas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus; sic erit Filius hominis in corde terræ tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus.
41 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Viri Ninivitæ surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt in prædicatione Ionæ. Et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Regina Austri surget in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quærens requiem, et non invenit.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Tunc dicit: Revertar in domum meam, unde exivi. Et veniens invenit eam vacantem, scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.
Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi: et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huic pessimæ.
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater eius, et fratres stabant foras, quærentes loqui ei.
47 And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.
Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quærentes te.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quæ est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
49 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!
Et extendens manum in discipulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Quicumque enim fecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est: ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
