Matthew 12
1 Around that time Jesus was walking through fields of grain on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so they started to pick ears of grain and eat them.
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 When the Pharisees saw this they said to Jesus, “Look at your disciples—they're doing what isn't allowed on the 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 Jesus told them, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
He then said to them; Surely you have read what did David when he was hungry (he himself *k*) and those with him?
4 He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the sacred bread that they weren't allowed to eat since it's 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 Haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath but are not considered guilty?
Or surely have you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are?
6 However, I tell you that someone is here who is greater than the Temple!
I say however to you that than the temple (a greater *N(k)O*) is here.
7 If you'd known the meaning of this Scripture, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn't have condemned an innocent man.
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 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
lord for is (and *k*) of the Sabbath the Son of Man.
9 Then Jesus left and went into their synagogue.
And having departed from there He went into the synagogue of them.
10 A man was there with a crippled hand. “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath?” they asked him, looking for a reason to 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 “Suppose you have a sheep and it falls into a hole in the ground on the Sabbath. Don't you grab hold of it and pull it out?” Jesus asked them.
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 “Don't you think a human being is worth much more than a sheep? So yes, you are allowed 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 said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed, just as healthy as the other hand.
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 the Pharisees went out and plotted how to kill Jesus.
Having gone out now the Pharisees a counsel held against Him how Him they may destroy.
15 Knowing this, Jesus left, with large crowds following him. He healed all of them,
And Jesus having known He withdrew from there, And followed Him multitudes great, and He healed them all
16 but instructed them not to tell people who he was.
and He warned them that not known Him they may make —
17 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
(so that *N(k)O*) may be fulfilled that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying;
18 “This is my servant whom I've chosen, The one I love, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit on him, And he will tell the foreigners what's right.
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 won't argue, he won't shout out, And nobody will 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 He won't break a damaged reed, And he won't extinguish a smoking wick, Until he has proved that his judgment is right,
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 foreigners will put their hope in him.”
And (in *k*) in the name of Him [the] Gentiles will hope.
22 Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
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 All the crowds were amazed, and asked, “Could this really be the son of David?”
And were amazed all the crowds and were saying; surely not ever this is the Son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of demons!”
And the Pharisees having heard said; This [man] not casts out the demons only except by Beelzebul prince of the demons.
25 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus told them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. No town or household that is divided against itself can 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 If Satan drives out Satan, then he's divided against himself—so how could his kingdom stand?
And if Satan Satan casts out, against himself he is divided; How then will stand the kingdom of him?
27 If I'm throwing out demons in the name of Beelzebub, in whose name are your people throwing out demons? Your own people prove you're wrong!
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'm throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you!
If however by [the] Spirit of God I myself cast out demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
29 Can you enter a strong man's house and take his belongings unless you tie him up first? If you do that then you can take everything in his 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 Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather together with me do the opposite: they are scattering.
The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters.
31 That's why I'm telling you that every sin and blasphemy you commit will be forgiven, except blasphemy against the Spirit which won't be forgiven.
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 Those who say something against the Son of man will be forgiven, but those who say something against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven, neither in this life nor 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 decide that the tree is good, and its fruit is good, or decide that the tree is bad and its fruit is bad—for the tree is known by its 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 You viper's brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
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 A good person brings out good from their store of good things, and an evil person brings out evil from their store of evil 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 I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on 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 what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you.”
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 religious teachers and Pharisees came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign.”
Then answered (to him *no*) some of the scribes and Pharisees saying; Teacher, we wish from You a sign to see.
39 “Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign. The only sign they will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah,” Jesus told them.
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 “In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will lie in the earth for three days and three nights.
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 The people of Nineveh will rise in the judgment together with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented in response to Jonah's message—and as you see, there's someone greater than Jonah 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.
42 The Queen of the South will be raised in the judgment together with this generation and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon—and as you see, there's someone greater than Solomon here!
[The] queen of [the] south will rise up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold greater than Solomon here.
43 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders through deserted places looking for rest, and finds nowhere to stay.
When now the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and none finds.
44 So it says, ‘I'll go back to the place I left,’ and when it returns it finds the place empty, all clean and tidy.
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 brings back seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and it enters and lives there. So the person ends up worse than they were at the beginning. That's the way it will be with this evil generation.”
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 While he was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers arrived and stood outside, wanting to talk to 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 Someone came and told him, “Look, your mother and brothers are outside, wanting to talk to 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 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Jesus asked.
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 He pointed at his disciples, and said, “Look, they 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 those who do the will of my heavenly Father, they are my brother, 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.
