Matthew Chapter 12The Webster Bible2: 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. 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? 5: Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6: But I say to you, that in this place is [one] greater than the temple. 7: But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8: For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. 9: And when he had departed thence, he went 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? 12: How much then is a man better than a sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 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. 14: Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 15: But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. 16: And charged them that they should not make him known: 17: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 18: Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. 19: He shall not contend, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20: A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth judgment to victory. 21: And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 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. 23: And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24: But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [man] doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. 25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand. 26: And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? 27: And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children expel [them]? therefore 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. 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. 30: He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad. 31: Wherefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. 32: And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. 33: Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [its] fruit. 34: O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. 35: A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things. 36: But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment. 37: For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 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. 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. 41: The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here. 42: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here. 43: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none. 44: Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished. 45: Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation. 46: While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47: Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48: But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49: And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50: For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
