12AT THAT particular time Jesus went through the fields of standing grain on the Sabbath; and His disciples were hungry, and they began to pick off the spikes of grain and to eat.G1722G1565G2540G2424G4198G4521G1223G4702G1161G846G3101G3983G2532G756G5089G4719G2532G2068 2And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, See there! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful {and} not permitted on the Sabbath.G1161G5330G1492G2036G846G2400G4675G3101G4160G3739G1832G3756G1832G4160G1722G4521 3He said to them, Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, and those who accompanied him--G1161G2036G846G314G3756G314G5101G1138G4160G3753G846G3983G2532G3326G846 4How he went into the house of God and ate the loaves of the showbread--which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for the men who accompanied him, but for the priests only?G4459G1525G1519G3624G2316G2532G5315G740G4286G3739G2258G3756G1832G846G5315G3761G3326G846G1508G3441G2409 5Or have you never read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath [breaking it] and yet are guiltless?G2228G314G3756G314G1722G3551G3754G4521G2409G1722G2411G953G4521G2532G1526G338 6But I tell you, Something greater {and} more exalted {and} more majestic than the temple is here!G1161G3004G5213G3754G5602G2076G3187G2411 7And if you had only known what this saying means, I desire mercy [readiness to help, to spare, to forgive] rather than sacrifice {and} sacrificial victims, you would not have condemned the guiltless.G1161G1487G1097G5101G2076G2309G1656G2532G3756G2378G302G3756G2613G338 8For the Son of Man is Lord [even] of the Sabbath.G1063G5207G444G2076G2962G2532G4521 9And going on from there, He went into their synagogue.G2532G3327G1564G2064G1519G846G4864 10And behold, a man was there with one withered hand. And they said to Him, Is it lawful {or} allowable to cure people on the Sabbath days?--that they might accuse Him.G2532G2400G2258G444G2192G5495G3584G2532G1905G846G3004G1487G1832G2323G4521G2443G2723G846 11But He said to them, What man is there among you, if he has only one sheep and it falls into a pit {or} ditch on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?G1161G2036G846G5101G444G2071G1537G5216G3739G2192G1520G4263G2532G1437G5124G1706G1519G999G4521G2902G3780G2902G846G2532G1453 12How much better {and} of more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful {and} allowable to do good on the Sabbath days.G4214G3767G444G1308G4263G5620G1832G4160G2573G4521 13Then He said to the man, Reach out your hand. And the man reached it out and it was restored, as sound as the other one.G5119G3004G444G1614G4675G5495G2532G1614G2532G600G5199G5613G243 14But the Pharisees went out and held a consultation against Him, how they might do away with Him.G1161G5330G1831G2983G4824G2596G846G3704G622G846 15But being aware of this, Jesus went away from there. And many people joined {and} accompanied Him, and He cured all of them,G1161G2424G1097G402G1564G2532G4183G3793G190G846G2532G2323G846G3956 16And strictly charged them {and} sharply warned them not to make Him publicly known.G2532G2008G846G3363G4160G3363G4160G846G5318 17This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah,G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G2268G4396G3004 18Behold, My Servant Whom I have chosen, My Beloved in {and} with Whom My soul is well pleased {and} has found its delight. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim {and} show forth justice to the nations.G2400G3450G3816G3739G140G3450G27G1519G3739G3450G5590G2106G5087G3450G4151G1909G846G2532G518G2920G1484 19He will not strive {or} wrangle or cry out loudly; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets;G2051G3756G2051G3761G2905G3761G5100G191G846G5456G1722G4113 20A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings justice {and} a just cause to victory.G4937G2563G2608G3756G2608G2532G5188G3043G4570G3756G4570G2193G302G1544G2920G1519G3534 21And in {and} on His name will the Gentiles (the peoples outside of Israel) set their hopes.G2532G1722G846G3686G1679G1484G1679 22Then a blind and dumb man under the power of a demon was brought to Jesus, and He cured him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.G5119G4374G846G1139G5185G2532G2974G2532G2323G846G5620G5185G2532G2974G2532G2980G2532G991 23And all the [crowds of] people were stunned with bewildered wonder and said, This cannot be the Son of David, can it?G2532G3956G3793G1839G2532G3004G2076G3385G3778G5207G1138 24But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This Man drives out demons only by {and} with the help of Beelzebub, the prince of demons.G1161G5330G191G2036G3778G1544G3756G1544G1140G1508G1722G954G758G1140 25And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation {and} laid waste, and no city {or} house divided against itself will last {or} continue to stand.G1161G2424G1492G846G1761G2036G846G3956G932G3307G2596G1438G2049G2532G3956G4172G2228G3614G3307G2596G1438G2476G3756G2476 26And if Satan drives out Satan, he has become divided against himself {and} disunified; how then will his kingdom last {or} continue to stand?G2532G1487G4567G1544G4567G3307G1909G1438G4459G2476G3767G846G932G2476 27And if I drive out the demons by [help of] Beelzebub, by whose [help] do your sons drive them out? For this reason they shall be your judges.G2532G1487G1473G1722G954G1544G1140G1722G5101G5216G5207G1544G5124G1223G846G2071G5216G2923 28But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [before you expected it].G1161G1487G1473G1544G1140G1722G4151G2316G686G932G2316G5348G1909G5209 29Or how can a person go into a strong man's house and carry off his goods (the entire equipment of his house) without first binding the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.G2228G4459G1410G5100G1525G1519G2478G3614G2532G1283G846G4632G3362G4412G1210G2478G2532G5119G1283G846G3614 30He who is not with Me [definitely on My side] is against Me, and he who does not [definitely] gather with Me {and} for My side scatters.G5607G3361G3326G1700G2076G2596G1700G2532G4863G3361G3326G1700G4650 31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy (every evil, abusive, injurious speaking, or indignity against sacred things) can be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the [Holy] Spirit shall not {and} cannot be forgiven.G1223G5124G3004G5213G3956G266G2532G988G863G444G1161G988G4151G863G3756G863G444 32And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Spirit, the Holy One, will not be forgiven, either in this world {and} age or in the world {and} age to come.G2532G3739G302G2036G3056G2596G5207G444G863G846G3739G1161G302G2036G2596G40G4151G863G3756G863G846G3777G1722G5129G165G3777G1722G3195 33Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known {and} recognized {and} judged by its fruit.G2228G4160G1186G2570G2532G846G2590G2570G2228G4160G1186G4550G2532G846G2590G4550G1063G1186G1097G1537G2590 34You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.G1081G2191G4459G1410G5607G4190G2980G18G1063G1537G4051G2588G4750G2980 35The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.G18G444G1537G18G2344G2588G1544G18G2532G4190G444G1537G4190G2344G1544G4190 36But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.G1161G3004G5213G3754G3956G692G4487G3739G1437G444G2980G591G3056G4012G846G1722G2250G2920 37For by your words you will be justified {and} acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned {and} sentenced.G1063G1537G4675G3056G1344G2532G1537G4675G3056G2613 38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, Teacher, we desire to see a sign {or} miracle from You [proving that You are what You claim to be].G5119G5100G1122G2532G5330G611G3004G1320G2309G1492G4592G575G4675 39But He replied to them, An evil and adulterous generation (a generation morally unfaithful to God) seeks {and} demands a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.G1161G611G2036G846G4190G2532G3428G1074G1934G4592G2532G3756G4592G1325G846G1508G4592G4396G2495 40For even as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.G1063G5618G2495G2258G5140G2250G2532G5140G3571G1722G2785G2836G3779G5207G444G2071G5140G2250G2532G5140G3571G1722G2588G1093 41The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, Someone more {and} greater than Jonah is here!G435G3536G450G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G3340G1519G2782G2495G2532G2400G4119G2495G5602 42The queen of the South will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, Someone more {and} greater than Solomon is here. [I Kings 10:1; II Chron. 9:1.]G938G3558G1453G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G2064G1537G4009G1093G191G4678G4672G2532G2400G4119G4672G5602 43But when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it roams through dry [arid] places in search of rest, but it does not find any.G1161G3752G169G4151G1831G575G444G1330G1223G504G5117G2212G372G2532G2147G3756 44Then it says, I will go back to my house from which I came out. And when it arrives, it finds the place unoccupied, swept, put in order, {and} decorated.G5119G3004G1994G1519G3450G3624G3606G1831G2532G2064G2147G4980G4563G2532G2885 45Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and make their home there. And the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. So also shall it be with this wicked generation.G5119G4198G2532G3880G3326G1438G2033G2087G4151G4191G1438G2532G1525G2730G1563G2532G2078G1565G444G1096G5501G4413G3779G2071G2532G5026G4190G1074 46Jesus was still speaking to the people when behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to Him.G2089G846G1161G2980G3793G2400G3384G2532G846G80G2476G1854G2212G2980G846 47{Someone said to Him, Listen! Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You.}G1161G5100G2036G846G2400G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G2476G1854G2212G2980G4671 48But He replied to the man who told Him, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?G1161G611G2036G2036G846G5101G2076G3450G3384G2532G5101G1526G3450G80 49And stretching out His hand toward [not only the twelve disciples but all] His adherents, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers.G2532G1614G846G5495G1909G846G3101G2036G2400G3450G3384G2532G3450G80 50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother!G1063G3748G302G4160G2307G3450G3962G3588G1722G3772G846G2076G3450G80G2532G79G2532G3384
