Matthew 12:15-37

Godbey(i) 15 And Jesus having known it departed thence: and many multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. 16 And He charged them much that they should not make Him known. 17 In order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, 18 Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul took delight: I will place my Spirit upon Him, and He will proclaim judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He will not strive, nor scream, nor shall any one hear His voice in the streets. 20 The bruised reed He will not break, and He will not quench the smoking wick, until He may send forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope. 22 Then a demonized man was brought to Him, blind and dumb: and He healed him, so that the blind and dumb man both spake and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the son of David? 24 And the Pharisees hearing, said, This man casts not out demons, except through Beelzebul the prince of the demons. 25 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 lf I through Beelzebul cast out demons, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I through the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. 29 Or how is any one able to enter into the house of a strong man, and spoil his goods, unless he may first bind the strong man, and then he can spoil his house. 30 And the one not being with me is against me; and the one not gathering with me scatters abroad. 31 Therefore I say unto you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven unto him: but whosoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven unto him, either in this age, or that which is to come. 33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by the fruit. 34 O ye generations of vipers, how are you, being evil, able to speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man, out of the good treasure (heart) brings forth good things: and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure (heart) brings forth wicked things. 36 And I say unto you, that every idle word whatsoever men shall speak, they shall give an account concerning the same in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shah be condemned.
