MKJV(i)
15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew Himself from there. And great crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.
16 And He warned them that they not make Him known,
17 so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 "Behold My Child whom I have chosen; My Beloved, in whom My soul is well pleased. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He shall declare judgment to the nations.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry, nor shall any one hear His voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed, and He will not quench a smoking wick, until He sends out judgment to victory.
21 And in His name the nations shall trust."

23 And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David?

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought 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 shall his kingdom stand?
27 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house and spoil his goods, unless first he binds the strong one, and then he will plunder his house.
30 The one who is not with Me is against Me, and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.
31 Therefore I say to you, All kinds of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this world or in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings out good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings out evil things.
36 But I say to you that every idle word, whatever men may speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
