Sabbath Questions

12At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grainfields, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads [of grain] and eat.G1722G1565G2540G2424G4198G4521G1223G4702G1161G846G3101G3983G2532G756G5089G4719G2532G2068 2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, "Behold, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath."G1161G5330G1492G2036G846G2400G4675G3101G4160G3739G1832G3756G1832G4160G1722G4521 3But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he became hungry, he and his companions;G1161G2036G846G314G3756G314G5101G1138G4160G3753G846G3983G2532G3326G846 4how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?G4459G1525G1519G3624G2316G2532G5315G740G4286G3739G2258G3756G1832G846G5315G3761G3326G846G1508G3441G2409 5"Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath, and are innocent?G2228G314G3756G314G1722G3551G3754G4521G2409G1722G2411G953G4521G2532G1526G338 6"But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.G1161G3004G5213G3754G5602G2076G3187G2411 7"But if you had known what this means, 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent.G1161G1487G1097G5101G2076G2309G1656G2532G3756G2378G302G3756G2613G338

Lord of the Sabbath

8"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."G1063G5207G444G2076G2962G2532G4521 9And departing from there, He went into their synagogue.G2532G3327G1564G2064G1519G846G4864 10And behold, [there was] a man with a withered hand. And they questioned Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"— in order that they might accuse Him.G2532G2400G2258G444G2192G5495G3584G2532G1905G846G3004G1487G1832G2323G4521G2443G2723G846 11And He said to them, "What man shall there be among you, who shall have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it, and lift it out?G1161G2036G846G5101G444G2071G1537G5216G3739G2192G1520G4263G2532G1437G5124G1706G1519G999G4521G2902G3780G2902G846G2532G1453 12"Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."G4214G3767G444G1308G4263G5620G1832G4160G2573G4521 13Then He *said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" And he stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.G5119G3004G444G1614G4675G5495G2532G1614G2532G600G5199G5613G243 14But the Pharisees went out, and counseled together against Him, [as to] how they might destroy Him.G1161G5330G1831G2983G4824G2596G846G3704G622G846 15But Jesus, aware of [this,] withdrew from there. And many followed Him, and He healed them all,G1161G2424G1097G402G1564G2532G4183G3793G190G846G2532G2323G846G3956 16and warned them not to make Him known,G2532G2008G846G3363G4160G3363G4160G846G5318 17in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G2268G4396G3004 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 PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.G2400G3450G3816G3739G140G3450G27G1519G3739G3450G5590G2106G5087G3450G4151G1909G846G2532G518G2920G1484 19"HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.G2051G3756G2051G3761G2905G3761G5100G191G846G5456G1722G4113 20"A BATTERED REED HE WILL NOT BREAK OFF, AND A SMOLDERING WICK HE WILL NOT PUT OUT, UNTIL HE LEADS JUSTICE TO VICTORY.G4937G2563G2608G3756G2608G2532G5188G3043G4570G3756G4570G2193G302G1544G2920G1519G3534 21"AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."G2532G1722G846G3686G1679G1484G1679

The Pharisees Rebuked

22Then there was brought to Him a demon-possessed man [who was] blind and dumb, and He healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw.G5119G4374G846G1139G5185G2532G2974G2532G2323G846G5620G5185G2532G2974G2532G2980G2532G991 23And all the multitudes were amazed, and [began] to say, "This [man] cannot be the Son of David, can he?"G2532G3956G3793G1839G2532G3004G2076G3385G3778G5207G1138 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons."G1161G5330G191G2036G3778G1544G3756G1544G1140G1508G1722G954G758G1140 25And knowing their thoughts He said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand.G1161G2424G1492G846G1761G2036G846G3956G932G3307G2596G1438G2049G2532G3956G4172G2228G3614G3307G2596G1438G2476G3756G2476 26"And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?G2532G1487G4567G1544G4567G3307G1909G1438G4459G2476G3767G846G932G2476 27"And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Consequently they shall be your judges.G2532G1487G1473G1722G954G1544G1140G1722G5101G5216G5207G1544G5124G1223G846G2071G5216G2923 28"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.G1161G1487G1473G1544G1140G1722G4151G2316G686G932G2316G5348G1909G5209 29"Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong [man]? And then he will plunder his house.G2228G4459G1410G5100G1525G1519G2478G3614G2532G1283G846G4632G3362G4412G1210G2478G2532G5119G1283G846G3614

The Unpardonable Sin

30"He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.G5607G3361G3326G1700G2076G2596G1700G2532G4863G3361G3326G1700G4650 31"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.G1223G5124G3004G5213G3956G266G2532G988G863G444G1161G988G4151G863G3756G863G444 32"And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the [age] to come.G2532G3739G302G2036G3056G2596G5207G444G863G846G3739G1161G302G2036G2596G40G4151G863G3756G863G846G3777G1722G5129G165G3777G1722G3195

33"Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.G2228G4160G1186G2570G2532G846G2590G2570G2228G4160G1186G4550G2532G846G2590G4550G1063G1186G1097G1537G2590 34"You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.G1081G2191G4459G1410G5607G4190G2980G18G1063G1537G4051G2588G4750G2980 35"The good man out of [his] good treasure brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of [his] evil treasure brings forth what is evil.G18G444G1537G18G2344G2588G1544G18G2532G4190G444G1537G4190G2344G1544G4190 36"And I say to you, that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment.G1161G3004G5213G3754G3956G692G4487G3739G1437G444G2980G591G3056G4012G846G1722G2250G2920 37"For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned."G1063G1537G4675G3056G1344G2532G1537G4675G3056G2613

The Desire for Signs

38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."G5119G5100G1122G2532G5330G611G3004G1320G2309G1492G4592G575G4675 39But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and [yet] no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;G1161G611G2036G846G4190G2532G3428G1074G1934G4592G2532G3756G4592G1325G846G1508G4592G4396G2495 40for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.G1063G5618G2495G2258G5140G2250G2532G5140G3571G1722G2785G2836G3779G5207G444G2071G5140G2250G2532G5140G3571G1722G2588G1093 41"The men of Nineveh shall stand up with this generation at the judgment, and shall condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.G435G3536G450G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G3340G1519G2782G2495G2532G2400G4119G2495G5602 42"[The] Queen of [the] South shall rise up with this generation at the judgment and shall condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.G938G3558G1453G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G2064G1537G4009G1093G191G4678G4672G2532G2400G4119G4672G5602 43"Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find [it.]G1161G3752G169G4151G1831G575G444G1330G1223G504G5117G2212G372G2532G2147G3756 44"Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.G5119G3004G1994G1519G3450G3624G3606G1831G2532G2064G2147G4980G4563G2532G2885 45"Then it goes, and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation."G5119G4198G2532G3880G3326G1438G2033G2087G4151G4191G1438G2532G1525G2730G1563G2532G2078G1565G444G1096G5501G4413G3779G2071G2532G5026G4190G1074

Changed Relationships

46While He was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.G2089G846G1161G2980G3793G2400G3384G2532G846G80G2476G1854G2212G2980G846 47And someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."G1161G5100G2036G846G2400G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G2476G1854G2212G2980G4671 48But He answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"G1161G611G2036G2036G846G5101G2076G3450G3384G2532G5101G1526G3450G80 49And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold, My mother and My brothers!G2532G1614G846G5495G1909G846G3101G2036G2400G3450G3384G2532G3450G80 50"For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."G1063G3748G302G4160G2307G3450G3962G3588G1722G3772G846G2076G3450G80G2532G79G2532G3384
