Matthew 12:15-37

Worrell(i) 15 But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew thence; and many followed Him, and He healed them all. 16 And He charged them, that they should not make Him known; 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 18 "Behold, My servant Whom I chose, My Beloved, in Whom My soul delighted. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare judgment to the gentiles. 19 He will not strive, nor cry aloud; nor will any one hear His voice in the streets: 20 A bruised reed will He not break, and a smoking flax will He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory; 21 And in His name will the gentiles hope." 22 Then there was brought to Him a demoniac, blind, and dumb; and He healed him, so that the dumb man spake and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the Son of David?" 24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, "This Man doth not cast out the demons, except by Beelzebub, prince of the demons." 25 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom, divided against itself, is brought to naught; and every city or house, divided against itself, shall not stand. 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 the demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. 28 But, if I by the Spirit of God cast out the demons, then the Kingdom of God came upon you unexpectedly. 29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and seize upon his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathers not with Me scatters. 31 Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven, neither in this age nor in that which is to come. 33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless and its fruit worthless; for from the fruit the tree is known. 34 "Broods of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being yourselves evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 35 The good man, out of his good treasure, puts forth good things; and the evil man, out of his evil treasure, puts forth evil things. 36 And I say to you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account concerning it in the day of judgment; 37 for by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned."
