12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the
corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the
ears of corn, and to eat.
12:2 But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him,
Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the
sabbath day.
12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did,
when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them
which were with him, but only for the priests?
12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath
days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
blameless?
12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater
than the temple.
12:7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:
12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand
withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on
the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you,
that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the
sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it
is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And
he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other.
12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against
him, how they might destroy him.
12:15 But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence:
and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
12:18 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 shew judgment to the Gentiles.
12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear
his voice in the streets.
12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall
he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil,
blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and
dumb both spake and saw.
12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the
son of David?
12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This
[fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince
of the devils.
12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God is come unto you.
12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and
spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then
he will spoil his house.
12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the
[Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it
shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the [world] to come.
12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else
make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is
known by [his] fruit.
12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak
good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.
12:35 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.
12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned.
12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
12:40 For as Jonas 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.
12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
12:42 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.
12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
12:44 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.
12:45 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 unto this wicked generation.
12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother
and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is
my mother? and who are my brethren?
12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
