Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. But His disciples became hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
At that [very] time went Jesus on the Sabbaths through the grainfields; and the disciples of Him hungered and they began to pluck [the] heads of grain and to eat.
2 And upon seeing it the Pharisees said to Him, “Hey, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath!”
And the Pharisees having seen they said to Him; Behold the disciples of You are doing what not it is lawful to do on Sabbath.
3 But He said to them: “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and those who were with him,
He then said to them; Surely you have read what did David when he was hungry (he himself *k*) and those with him?
4 how he entered the house of God and ate the loaves of presentation, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the priests?
how he entered into the house of God and the loaves of the presentation (they ate, *N(K)O*) (that which *N(k)O*) not lawful it was for him to eat nor for those with him only except for the priests alone?
5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Or surely have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are?
6 Yet I say to you that a greater than the temple is here.
I say however to you that than the temple (a greater *N(k)O*) is here.
7 If you had but known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
If however you had known what is; (mercy *N(k)O*) I desire and not [desire] sacrifice,’ not then would you have condemned the guiltless.
8 Furthermore, the Son of the Man is Lord of the Sabbath!”
lord for is (and *k*) of the Sabbath the Son of Man.
9 Now moving on from there He went into their synagogue.
And having departed from there He went into the synagogue of them.
10 And there was a man with a withered hand! And they asked Him saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him.
And behold a man (was *k*) a hand having withered; And they asked Him saying; Is it is lawful on the Sabbaths (to heal? *N(k)O*) so that they may accuse Him.
11 So He said to them: “What man will there be among you who has one sheep, and should this one fall into a ditch on the Sabbath, will he not lay hold of it and lift it out?
He then said to them; Who will there be among you man who will have sheep one, and if shall fall it on the Sabbaths into a pit, surely he will take hold of it and will raise [it] up?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
How much therefore is more valuable a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbaths good to do.
13 Then He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” And he stretched it out, and it was restored whole like the other.
Then He says to the man; do stretch out your hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.
14 But going out the Pharisees plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Having gone out now the Pharisees a counsel held against Him how Him they may destroy.
15 So being aware, Jesus withdrew from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.
And Jesus having known He withdrew from there, And followed Him multitudes great, and He healed them all
16 Yet He warned them not to make Him known,
and He warned them that not known Him they may make —
17 so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, namely:
(so that *N(k)O*) may be fulfilled that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying;
18 “Behold my Servant whom I chose, my Beloved in whom my soul is well pleased! I will put my Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the nations.
Behold the servant of Mine whom I have chosen, the beloved of Mine (in whom *NK(o)*) has found delight the soul of Mine. I will put the Spirit of Mine upon Him, and justice to the Gentiles He will proclaim.
19 He will not quarrel nor cry-out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
Not will He quarrel nor will he cry out, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of Him.
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not quench, until He sends justice forth to victory.
A reed bruised not He will break and a wick smoldering not He will quench until when He shall lead to victory justice.
21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
And (in *k*) in the name of Him [the] Gentiles will hope.
22 Then a demonized man was brought to Him, blind and mute, and He healed him, so that the A blind and B mute B spoke and A saw.
Then (was brought *NK(O)*) to Him ([one] being demonised blind *NK(O)*) and (mute, *NK(O)*) and He healed him in order for the (blind and *k*) mute [man] (and *k*) to speak and to see.
23 And all the crowds were amazed and said, “Might this not be the Christ, the Son of David?”

And the Pharisees having heard said; This [man] not casts out the demons only except by Beelzebul prince of the demons.
25 But knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
knowing now (Jesus *k*) the thoughts of them He said to them; Every kingdom having been divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house having been divided against itself not will stand.
26 So if Satan casts out Satan he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
And if Satan Satan casts out, against himself he is divided; How then will stand the kingdom of him?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
And if I myself by Beelzebul cast out demons, the sons of you by whom do they cast out? On account of this they themselves judges will be of you.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
If however by [the] Spirit of God I myself cast out demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
29 Or how can anyone go into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then he can plunder the house.
Or how is able anyone to enter into the house of the strong [man] and the goods of him (to plunder, *N(k)O*) only unless first he shall bind the strong [man]? And then the house of him (he will rob. *NK(O)*)
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters.
31 Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven people.
Because of this I say to you; every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, however against the Spirit blasphemy not will be forgiven (to the men. *k*)
32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of the Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in the present age nor in the next. (aiōn g165)
And who[ever] (if *N(k)O*) shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him; who[ever] now maybe shall speak against Spirit the Holy, not it will be forgiven to him neither in this (present *O*) age nor in the [one] coming. (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by the fruit.
Either do make the tree good and the fruit of it good, or do make the tree bad and the fruit of it bad; by for the fruit the tree is known.
34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being malignant, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Offspring of vipers, how are you able good things to speak evil being? Out of for the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 The good man out of the good reservoir brings forth good things, and the malignant man out of the malignant reservoir brings forth malignant things.
The good man out of good treasure (of [his] heart *K*) puts forth (*k*) good things, and the evil man out of [his] evil treasure puts forth evil things.
36 Furthermore, I say to you that for every useless word whatever that people may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of judgment.
I say now to you that every declaration careless that (if *k*) (will speak *N(k)O*) men, they will give of it an account in day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
By for the words of you you will be justified and by the words of you you will be condemned.
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees reacted saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Then answered (to him *no*) some of the scribes and Pharisees saying; Teacher, we wish from You a sign to see.
39 But in answer He said to them: “A malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
And answering He said to them; A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks for; and a sign not will be given to it only except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the sea monster, so will the Son of the Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Just as for was Jonah in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so will be the Son of Man in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Ninevite men will arise with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and really, a greater than Jonah is here.
[The] men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold greater than Jonah here.

43 “Now when an unclean spirit [demon] goes out from a man, it goes through arid places looking for rest, but finds none.
When now the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and none finds.
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from where I came.’ And coming it finds it unoccupied, swept and put in order.
Then it says; To the house of mine I will return from where I came out. And having come it finds [it] being unoccupied, (and *o*) swept and ordered.
45 Then it goes and takes along with itself seven different spirits, more malignant than itself, and going in it dwells there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Just so it will be for this malignant generation also.”
Then it goes and it takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered in they dwell there; and becomes the last man of that worse than the first. So it will be also to generation this the evil.
46 But then, while He was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
While (now *ko*) when He is speaking to the crowds behold the mother and the brothers of Him had been standing outside seeking to Him to speak.
47 So someone said to Him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with you.”
Said now someone to Him; Behold the mother of You and the brothers of you outside have stood seeking to You to speak.
48 But in answer He said to the one who told Him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
And answering He said to the [one] (telling *N(k)O*) to Him; Who is the mother of Mine and who are the brothers of Mine?
49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples He said: “Here are my mother and my brothers!
And having stretched out the hand of Him to the disciples of Him He said; Behold the mother of Mine and the brothers of Mine.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father in the heavens, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
Whoever for maybe may do the will the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens, he himself My brother and sister and mother is.
