Matthew 12
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
At that time Jeshu was walking on the sabbath among the grain; and his disciples hungered, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
But when the Pharishee saw them, they say to him, Look, thy disciples do something which is not lawful to be done on the sabbath.
3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
how he went to the house of Aloha, and the bread of the table of the Lord did he eat, -that which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, but for the priests only?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Or have you not read in the law that the priests in the temple profane the sabbath in it, and are without blame?
6 But I say to you, that in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
But I say to you, that (one) greater than the temple is here.
7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Moreover, if you knew what that (meaneth), " I desire mercy and not a sacrifice," you would not have condemned them who are not faulty.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
For the Lord of the sabbath is the Son of man.
9 And when he had departed thence, he went into their synagogue.
AND Jeshu passed thence, and came into their synagogue.
10 And behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

11 And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
But he said to them, What man is there among you that hath one sheep, (who), if it fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, doth not take and lift it up?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
How much more precious is a child of man than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful on the sabbath-day to do that which is good.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out; and [it] was restored to a sound state like the other.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand! and he stretched forth his hand, and it was restored like the other its fellow.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
And in his name shall the gentiles hope.
22 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.

And if I by Beelzebub cast forth demons, your sons, by whom do they cast them forth? On this account they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
But if I by the Spirit of Aloha cast forth demons, the kingdom of Aloha hath come nigh upon you.
29 Or else, how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.

39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
But he answered them and said, A generation depraved and adulterous requireth a sign; but a sign shall not be given to it, but the sign of Jaunon the prophet;
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
for as Jaunon was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so the Son of man shall be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
When the unclean spirit shall have gone forth from a child of man, he wandereth through places that have no waters in them, and seeketh repose, but findeth (it) not.
