Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the Sabbaths through the grainfields, and His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,
In illo tempore abiit Jesus per sata sabbato: discipuli autem ejus esurientes cœperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
2 and the Pharisees having seen, said to Him, “Behold, Your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.”
Pharisæi autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet facere sabbatis.
3 And He said to them, “Did you not read what David did when he was hungry, himself and those with him—
At ille dixit eis: Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant:
4 how he went into the house of God, and ate the Bread of the Presentation, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone?
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 did you 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 And I say to you that [One] greater than the temple is here;
Dico autem vobis, quia templo major est hic.
7 and if you had known what [this] is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice—you had not condemned the blameless,
Si autem sciretis, quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium: numquam condemnassetis innocentes:
8 for the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
dominus enim est Filius hominis etiam sabbati.
9 And having departed from there, He went to their synagogue,
Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
10 and behold, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbaths?” 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 to them, “What man will be of you who will have one sheep, and if this may fall on the Sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise [it]?
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 better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? So that it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good.”
Quanto magis melior est homo ove? itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
13 Then He says to the man, “Stretch forth your 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 And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against Him, how they might destroy Him,
Exeuntes autem pharisæi, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quomodo perderent eum.
15 and Jesus having known, withdrew from there, and there followed Him great multitudes, and He healed them all,
Jesus autem sciens recessit inde: et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes:
16 and charged them that they might not make Him apparent,
et præcepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
17 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem:
18 “Behold, My Servant, whom I chose, My Beloved, in whom My soul delighted, I will put My Spirit on Him, And He will declare judgment to the nations;
Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animæ meæ. Ponam spiritum meum super eum, et judicium gentibus nuntiabit.
19 He will not strive nor cry, Nor will any hear His voice in the broad places;
Non contendet, neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem ejus:
20 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Until He may put forth judgment to victory,
arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec ejiciat ad victoriam judicium:
21 And in His Name will nations hope.”
et in nomine ejus gentes sperabunt.
22 Then was brought to Him a demoniac, blind and mute, and He healed him, so that the blind and mute both spoke 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, “Is this the Son of David?”
Et stupebant omnes turbæ, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
24 But the Pharisees having heard, said, “This One does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, ruler of the demons.”
Pharisæi autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non ejicit dæmones nisi in Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum.
25 And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself stands,
Jesus 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, against himself he was divided, how then does his kingdom stand?
Et si Satanas Satanam ejicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum ejus?
27 And if I, by Beelzebul, cast out the demons, your sons—by whom do they cast out? Because of this they will be your judges.
Et si ego in Beelzebub ejicio dæmones, filii vestri in quo ejiciunt? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt.
28 But if I, by the Spirit of God, cast out the demons, then the Kingdom of God has already come to you.
Si autem ego in Spiritu Dei ejicio dæmones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
29 Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to snatch his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? And then his house he will plunder.
Aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa ejus diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? et tunc domum illius diripiet.
30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me, scatters.
Qui non est mecum, contra me est; et qui non congregat mecum, spargit.
31 Because of this I say to you, all sin and slander will be forgiven to men, but the slander of the Spirit will not be forgiven to men.
Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, Spiritus autem blasphemia non remittetur.
32 And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming. (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 bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known.
Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum ejus bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum ejus malum: siquidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
34 Brood of vipers! How are you able to speak good things—being evil? For out 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 of the heart puts forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure puts forth evil things.
Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
36 And I say to you that every idle word that men may speak, they will give for it a reckoning in [the] day of judgment;
Dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum, quod locuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die judicii.
37 for from your words you will be declared righteous, and from your words you will be declared unrighteous.”
Ex verbis enim tuis justificaberis et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we will to see a sign from You.”
Tunc responderunt ei quidam de scribis et pharisæis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
39 And He answering said to them, “A generation, evil and adulterous, seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;
Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ.
40 for as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Sicut enim fuit Jonas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus, sic erit Filius hominis in corde terræ tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.
41 Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they converted at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
Viri Ninivitæ surgent in judicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt in prædicatione Jonæ, et ecce plus quam Jonas hic.
42 A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
Regina austri surget in judicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
43 And when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through dry places seeking rest and does not find;
Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quærens requiem, et non invenit.
44 then it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth; and having come, it 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 it goes, and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first; so will it also be to this evil generation.”
Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi: et fiunt novissima hominis illius pejora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huic pessimæ.
46 And while He was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers had stood outside, seeking to speak to Him,
Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater ejus et fratres stabant foris, quærentes loqui ei.
47 and one said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to You.”
Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quærentes te.
48 And He answering said to him who spoke to Him, “Who is My mother? And who are My brothers?”
At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quæ est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
49 And having stretched forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!
Et extendens manum in discipulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
50 For whoever may 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 cælis est, ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
