Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
In illo tempore abiit Iesus per sata sabbato: discipuli autem eius esurientes coeperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
2 But the Pharisees, seeing [it], said to him, Behold, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on sabbath.
Pharisaei autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet eis facere sabbatis.
3 But he said to 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 shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only?
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 sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt?
6 But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.
Dico autem vobis, quia templo maior est hic.
7 But if ye had known what is: I will have 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, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.
Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
10 And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Si licet sabbatis curare? ut accusarent eum.
11 But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?
Ipse autem dixit illis: Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit haec sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit, et levabit eam?
12 How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
Quanto magis melior est homo ove? Itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
13 Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
Tunc ait homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
14 But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Exeuntes autem Pharisaei, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quo modo perderent eum.
15 But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds 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 strictly that they should not make him publicly known:
et praecepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
17 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias 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 has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.
Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animae meae. Ponam spiritum meum super eum, et iudicium gentibus nunciabit.
19 He shall not strive or cry out, nor 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, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;
arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec eiiciat ad victoriam iudicium:
21 and on his name shall [the] nations hope.
et in nomine eius Gentes sperabunt.
22 Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb [man] spake and saw.
Tunc oblatus est ei daemonium habens, caecus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
23 And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this [man] the Son of David?
Et stupebant omnes turbae, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
24 But the Pharisees, having heard [it], said, This [man] does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons.
Pharisaei autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non eiicit daemones nisi in Beelzebub principe daemoniorum.
25 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.
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 casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist?
Et si satanas satanam eiicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum eius?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.
Et si ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemones, filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
28 But if I by [the] Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Si autem ego in spiritu Dei eiicio daemones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
29 Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong [man] and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong [man]? and then he will plunder 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 gathers not with me scatters.
Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
31 For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum, et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, spiritus autem blasphemiae non remittetur.
32 And whosoever shall have spoken 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 age nor in the coming [one]. (aiōn g165)
Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra filium hominis, remittetur ei: qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum sanctum, non remittetur ei neque in hoc saeculo, 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 from the fruit the tree is known.
Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum eius bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum eius malum: siquidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
34 Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Progenies viperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
35 The good man out of the good treasure brings forth good things; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure brings forth wicked things.
Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
36 But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:
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 answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee.
Tunc responderunt ei quidam de Scribis et Pharisaeis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
39 But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala, et adultera signum quaerit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae.
40 For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Sicut enim fuit Ionas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus; sic erit Filius hominis in corde terrae tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus.
41 Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas [is] here.
Viri Ninivitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia poenitentiam egerunt in praedicatione Ionae. Et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
42 A 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, more than Solomon [is] here.
Regina austri surget in iudicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
43 But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find [it].
Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quaerens requiem, et non invenit.
44 Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned.
Tunc dicit: Revertar in domum meam, unde exivi. Et veniens invenit eam vacantem, scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.
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 pessimae.
46 But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater eius, et fratres stabant foris, quaerentes loqui ei.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, seeking to speak to thee.
Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quaerentes te.
48 But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quae est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
49 And, stretching out his hand to his disciples, he 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 [the] heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Quicumque enim fecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in caelis est: ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
