Matthew 12:15-37

Wesley(i) 15 And Jesus knowing it withdrew from thence; and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. 16 And charged them, not to make him known: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying, 17 Behold my servant, 18 whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the heathens. 19 He shall not strive nor clamour, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 He shall not break a bruised reed, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the heathens trust. 22 Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And the multitude were amazed and said, Is not this the Son of David? 24 But the Pharisees hearing it said, This fellow casteth not out devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not be established. 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if it be by the Spirit of God that I cast out devils, then the kingdom of God is come upon you. 29 How can one enter into the strong one's house, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong one? 30 And then he will plunder his house. He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. 31 Wherefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men. 32 And whosoever speaketh 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, nor in that 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 its fruit. 34 Ye brood of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say to you, That every idle word which men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, or by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
