12:1 At 1722 that 1565 time 2540 Jesus 2424 went 4198 5675 on the sabbath day 4521 through 1223 the corn 4702; and 1161 his 846 disciples 3101 were an hungred 3983 5656, and 2532 began 756 5662 to pluck 5089 5721 the ears of corn 4719, and 2532 to eat 2068 5721.

12:2 But 1161 when the Pharisees 5330 saw 1492 5631 [it], they said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Behold 2400 5628, thy 4675 disciples 3101 do 4160 5719 that which 3739 is 1832 0 not 3756 lawful 1832 5748 to do 4160 5721 upon 1722 the sabbath day 4521.

12:3 But 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Have ye 314 0 not 3756 read 314 5627 what 5101 David 1138 did 4160 5656, when 3753 he 846 was an hungred 3983 5656, and 2532 they 3326 that were with him 846;

12:4 How 4459 he entered into 1525 5627 1519 the house 3624 of God 2316, and 2532 did eat 5315 5627 the shewbread 740 4286, which 3739 was 2258 5713 not 3756 lawful 1832 5752 for him 846 to eat 5315 5629, neither for 3761 them which 3326 were with him 846, but 1508 only 3441 for the priests 2409?

12:5 Or 2228 have ye 314 0 not 3756 read 314 5627 in 1722 the law 3551, how that 3754 on the sabbath days 4521 the priests 2409 in 1722 the temple 2411 profane 953 5719 the sabbath 4521, and 2532 are 1526 5748 blameless 338?

12:6 But 1161 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, That 3754 in this place 5602 is [one] 2076 5748 greater than 3187 the temple 2411.

12:7 But 1161 if 1487 ye had known 1097 5715 what 5101 [this] meaneth 2076 5748, I will have 2309 5719 mercy 1656, and 2532 not 3756 sacrifice 2378, ye would 302 not 3756 have condemned 2613 5656 the guiltless 338.

12:8 For 1063 the Son 5207 of man 444 is 2076 5748 Lord 2962 even 2532 of the sabbath day 4521.

12:9 And 2532 when he was departed 3327 5631 thence 1564, he went 2064 5627 into 1519 their 846 synagogue 4864:

12:10 And 2532, behold 2400 5628, there was 2258 5713 a man 444 which had 2192 5723 [his] hand 5495 withered 3584. And 2532 they asked 1905 5656 him 846, saying 3004 5723, Is it lawful 1487 1832 5748 to heal 2323 5721 on the sabbath days 4521? that 2443 they might accuse 2723 5661 him 846.

12:11 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto them 846, What 5101 man 444 shall there be 2071 5704 among 1537 you 5216, that 3739 shall have 2192 5692 one 1520 sheep 4263, and 2532 if 1437 it 5124 fall 1706 5632 into 1519 a pit 999 on the sabbath day 4521, will he 2902 0 not 3780 lay hold 2902 5692 on it 846, and 2532 lift [it] out 1453 5692?

12:12 How much 4214 then 3767 is a man 444 better than 1308 5719 a sheep 4263? Wherefore 5620 it is lawful 1832 5748 to do 4160 5721 well 2573 on the sabbath days 4521.

12:13 Then 5119 saith 3004 5719 he to the man 444, Stretch forth 1614 5657 thine 4675 hand 5495. And 2532 he stretched [it] forth 1614 5656; and 2532 it was restored 600 5681 whole 5199, like as 5613 the other 243.

12:14 Then 1161 the Pharisees 5330 went out 1831 5631, and held 2983 5627 a council 4824 against 2596 him 846, how 3704 they might destroy 622 5661 him 846.(held…: or, took counsel)

12:15 But 1161 when Jesus 2424 knew 1097 5631 [it], he withdrew himself 402 5656 from thence 1564: and 2532 great 4183 multitudes 3793 followed 190 5656 him 846, and 2532 he healed 2323 5656 them 846 all 3956;

12:16 And 2532 charged 2008 5656 them 846 that 3363 0 they should 4160 0 not 3363 make 4160 5661 him 846 known 5318:

12:17 That 3704 it might be fulfilled 4137 5686 which 3588 was spoken 4483 5685 by 1223 Esaias 2268 the prophet 4396, saying 3004 5723,

12:18 Behold 2400 5628 my 3450 servant 3816, whom 3739 I have chosen 140 5656; my 3450 beloved 27, in 1519 whom 3739 my 3450 soul 5590 is well pleased 2106 5656: I will put 5087 5692 my 3450 spirit 4151 upon 1909 him 846, and 2532 he shall shew 518 5692 judgment 2920 to the Gentiles 1484.

12:19 He shall 2051 0 not 3756 strive 2051 5692, nor 3761 cry 2905 5692; neither 3761 shall any man 5100 hear 191 5692 his 846 voice 5456 in 1722 the streets 4113.

12:20 A bruised 4937 5772 reed 2563 shall he 2608 0 not 3756 break 2608 5656, and 2532 smoking 5188 5746 flax 3043 shall he 4570 0 not 3756 quench 4570 5692, till 2193 302 he send forth 1544 5632 judgment 2920 unto 1519 victory 3534.

12:21 And 2532 in 1722 his 846 name 3686 shall 1679 0 the Gentiles 1484 trust 1679 5692.

12:22 Then 5119 was brought 4374 5681 unto him 846 one possessed with a devil 1139 5740, blind 5185, and 2532 dumb 2974: and 2532 he healed 2323 5656 him 846, insomuch that 5620 the blind 5185 and 2532 dumb 2974 both 2532 spake 2980 5721 and 2532 saw 991 5721.

12:23 And 2532 all 3956 the people 3793 were amazed 1839 5710, and 2532 said 3004 5707, Is 2076 5748 not 3385 this 3778 the son 5207 of David 1138?

12:24 But 1161 when the Pharisees 5330 heard 191 5660 [it], they said 2036 5627, This 3778 [fellow] doth 1544 0 not 3756 cast out 1544 5719 devils 1140, but 1508 by 1722 Beelzebub 954 the prince 758 of the devils 1140.(Beelzebub: Gr. Beelzebul)

12:25 And 1161 Jesus 2424 knew 1492 5761 their 846 thoughts 1761, and said 2036 5627 unto them 846, Every 3956 kingdom 932 divided 3307 5685 against 2596 itself 1438 is brought to desolation 2049 5743; and 2532 every 3956 city 4172 or 2228 house 3614 divided 3307 5685 against 2596 itself 1438 shall 2476 0 not 3756 stand 2476 5701:

12:26 And 2532 if 1487 Satan 4567 cast out 1544 5719 Satan 4567, he is divided 3307 5681 against 1909 himself 1438; how 4459 shall 2476 0 then 3767 his 846 kingdom 932 stand 2476 5701?

12:27 And 2532 if 1487 I 1473 by 1722 Beelzebub 954 cast out 1544 5719 devils 1140, by 1722 whom 5101 do your 5216 children 5207 cast [them] out 1544 5719? therefore 5124 1223 they 846 shall be 2071 5704 your 5216 judges 2923.

12:28 But 1161 if 1487 I 1473 cast out 1544 5719 devils 1140 by 1722 the Spirit 4151 of God 2316, then 686 the kingdom 932 of God 2316 is come 5348 5656 unto 1909 you 5209.

12:29 Or 2228 else how 4459 can 1410 5736 one 5100 enter 1525 5629 into 1519 a strong man's 2478 house 3614, and 2532 spoil 1283 5658 his 846 goods 4632, except 3362 he first 4412 bind 1210 5661 the strong man 2478? and 2532 then 5119 he will spoil 1283 5692 his 846 house 3614.

12:30 He that is 5607 5752 not 3361 with 3326 me 1700 is 2076 5748 against 2596 me 1700; and 2532 he that gathereth 4863 5723 not 3361 with 3326 me 1700 scattereth abroad 4650 5719.

12:31 Wherefore 1223 5124 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, All manner of 3956 sin 266 and 2532 blasphemy 988 shall be forgiven 863 5701 unto men 444: but 1161 the blasphemy 988 [against] the [Holy] Ghost 4151 shall 863 0 not 3756 be forgiven 863 5701 unto men 444.

12:32 And 2532 whosoever 3739 302 speaketh 2036 5632 a word 3056 against 2596 the Son 5207 of man 444, it shall be forgiven 863 5701 him 846: but 3739 whosoever 1161 302 speaketh 2036 5632 against 2596 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, it shall 863 0 not 3756 be forgiven 863 5701 him 846, neither 3777 in 1722 this 5129 world 165, neither 3777 in 1722 the [world] to come 3195 5723.

12:33 Either 2228 make 4160 5657 the tree 1186 good 2570, and 2532 his 846 fruit 2590 good 2570; or else 2228 make 4160 5657 the tree 1186 corrupt 4550, and 2532 his 846 fruit 2590 corrupt 4550: for 1063 the tree 1186 is known 1097 5743 by 1537 [his] fruit 2590.

12:34 O generation 1081 of vipers 2191, how 4459 can ye 1410 5736, being 5607 5752 evil 4190, speak 2980 5721 good things 18? for 1063 out of 1537 the abundance 4051 of the heart 2588 the mouth 4750 speaketh 2980 5719.

12:35 A good 18 man 444 out of 1537 the good 18 treasure 2344 of the heart 2588 bringeth forth 1544 5719 good things 18: and 2532 an evil 4190 man 444 out of 1537 the evil 4190 treasure 2344 bringeth forth 1544 5719 evil things 4190.

12:36 But 1161 I say 3004 5719 unto you 5213, That 3754 every 3956 idle 692 word 4487 that 3739 1437 men 444 shall speak 2980 5661, they shall give 591 5692 account 3056 thereof 4012 846 in 1722 the day 2250 of judgment 2920.

12:37 For 1063 by 1537 thy 4675 words 3056 thou shalt be justified 1344 5701, and 2532 by 1537 thy 4675 words 3056 thou shalt be condemned 2613 5701.

12:38 Then 5119 certain 5100 of the scribes 1122 and 2532 of the Pharisees 5330 answered 611 5662, saying 3004 5723, Master 1320, we would 2309 5719 see 1492 5629 a sign 4592 from 575 thee 4675.

12:39 But 1161 he answered 611 5679 and said 2036 5627 unto them 846, An evil 4190 and 2532 adulterous 3428 generation 1074 seeketh after 1934 5719 a sign 4592; and 2532 there shall no 3756 sign 4592 be given 1325 5701 to it 846, but 1508 the sign 4592 of the prophet 4396 Jonas 2495:

12:40 For 1063 as 5618 Jonas 2495 was 2258 5713 three 5140 days 2250 and 2532 three 5140 nights 3571 in 1722 the whale's 2785 belly 2836; so 3779 shall the Son 5207 of man 444 be 2071 5704 three 5140 days 2250 and 2532 three 5140 nights 3571 in 1722 the heart 2588 of the earth 1093.

12:41 The men 435 of Nineveh 3536 shall rise 450 5698 in 1722 judgment 2920 with 3326 this 5026 generation 1074, and 2532 shall condemn 2632 5692 it 846: because 3754 they repented 3340 5656 at 1519 the preaching 2782 of Jonas 2495; and 2532, behold 2400 5628, a greater than 4119 Jonas 2495 [is] here 5602.

12:42 The queen 938 of the south 3558 shall rise up 1453 5701 in 1722 the judgment 2920 with 3326 this 5026 generation 1074, and 2532 shall condemn 2632 5692 it 846: for 3754 she came 2064 5627 from 1537 the uttermost parts 4009 of the earth 1093 to hear 191 5658 the wisdom 4678 of Solomon 4672; and 2532, behold 2400 5628, a greater than 4119 Solomon 4672 [is] here 5602.

12:43 1161 When 3752 the unclean 169 spirit 4151 is gone 1831 5632 out of 575 a man 444, he walketh 1330 5736 through 1223 dry 504 places 5117, seeking 2212 5723 rest 372, and 2532 findeth 2147 5719 none 3756.

12:44 Then 5119 he saith 3004 5719, I will return 1994 5692 into 1519 my 3450 house 3624 from whence 3606 I came out 1831 5627; and 2532 when he is come 2064 5631, he findeth 2147 5719 [it] empty 4980 5723, swept 4563 5772, and 2532 garnished 2885 5772.

12:45 Then 5119 goeth he 4198 5736, and 2532 taketh 3880 5719 with 3326 himself 1438 seven 2033 other 2087 spirits 4151 more wicked 4191 than himself 1438, and 2532 they enter in 1525 5631 and dwell 2730 5719 there 1563: and 2532 the last 2078 [state] of that 1565 man 444 is 1096 5736 worse than 5501 the first 4413. Even so 3779 shall it be 2071 5704 also 2532 unto this 5026 wicked 4190 generation 1074.

12:46 While 2089 he 846 yet 1161 talked 2980 5723 to the people 3793, behold 2400 5628, [his] mother 3384 and 2532 his 846 brethren 80 stood 2476 5715 without 1854, desiring 2212 5723 to speak 2980 5658 with him 846.

12:47 Then 1161 one 5100 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Behold 2400 5628, thy 4675 mother 3384 and 2532 thy 4675 brethren 80 stand 2476 5758 without 1854, desiring 2212 5723 to speak 2980 5658 with thee 4671.

12:48 But 1161 he answered 611 5679 and said 2036 5627 unto him that told 2036 5631 him 846, Who 5101 is 2076 5748 my 3450 mother 3384? and 2532 who 5101 are 1526 5748 my 3450 brethren 80?

12:49 And 2532 he stretched forth 1614 5660 his 846 hand 5495 toward 1909 his 846 disciples 3101, and said 2036 5627, Behold 2400 5628 my 3450 mother 3384 and 2532 my 3450 brethren 80!

12:50 For 1063 whosoever 3748 302 shall do 4160 5661 the will 2307 of my 3450 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven 3772, the same 846 is 2076 5748 my 3450 brother 80, and 2532 sister 79, and 2532 mother 3384.
