15 But because Jesus knew it, He left there. And many people followed Him, and He cured them all,
16 and charged them not to publish Him,
17 and in this way fulfilled the saying spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
18 "Here is my Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved, in whom my soul delights itself. I will endow Him with my Spirit, and He will announce a judgment to the heathen.
19 He will not debate, nor challenge anyone; His voice will no one hear in the streets;
20 A broken reed He will not break off; a flickering wick He will not put out, until He brings His judgment to victory.
21 On His name the heathen will set their hopes."
22 At that time some people brought to Him a man under the power of demons, who was blind and dumb, and He cured him, so that the dumb man could talk and see.
23 And all the crowds of people were dumbfounded, and began to say, "He is by no means the Son of David, is He?"
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man is not driving out demons except by the help of Beelzebub, the prince of the demons."
25 But because He knew their thoughts, He said to them, "Any kingdom that is not united is in the process of destruction, and any city or family that is not united cannot last.
26 Now if Satan is driving out Satan, he has become disunited; how then can his kingdom last?
27 And if I am driving out demons by the help of Beelzebub, by whose help are your sons driving them out? So they must be your judges.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God am driving the demons out, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
29 Or, how can anyone get into a giant's house and carry off his goods, unless he first binds the giant? After that he can make a clean sweep of his house.
30 Whoever is not in partnership with me is against me, and whoever does not gather in partnership with me scatters.
31 So I tell you, every sin and all abusive speech will be forgiven men, but abuse against the Spirit cannot be forgiven.
32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven for it, but whoever speaks abusively against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven for it, either in this world or in the world to come.
33 "You must either make the tree healthy and its fruits healthy or make the tree sickly and its fruits sickly, for a tree is judged by its fruit.
34 You brood of vipers! How can you, wicked as you are, say anything that is good? For the mouth talks about the things that fill the heart.
35 The good man out of his good inner storehouse, brings out good things, the bad man, out of his bad one, bad things.
36 So I tell you, for every worthless word that men utter they will have to give account on the day of judgment;
37 for it is by your words that you will be acquitted and by your words that you will be condemned."
