15 But Jesus knew it, and retired from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,
16 and charged them that they should not make him known.
17 That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
18 "Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment for the heathen.
19 He shall not contend, nor be clamorous; neither shall any man in the streets hear his voice.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break down, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he break forth in judgment for victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope."
22 Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.
23 And all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.
25 But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family, divided against itself cannot subsist:
26 so if Satan cast out Satan; he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out the devils, then truly the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Else how can one enter into a strong man's house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then will he plunder his goods?
30 He that is not with me, is against me; and he that associates not with me, scattereth abroad.
31 Therefore I say unto you, All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
32 And whosoever may speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world 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 Ye broods of vipers, how can ye speak good things, yourselves being wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things: and a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I tell you, That every idle word which men speak, for it shall they give an account in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
