Matthew 12:1-45

12:1

At
<1722>

that
<1565>

time
<2540>

Jesus
<2424>

went
<4198> (5675)

on the sabbath day
<4521>

through
<1223>

the corn
<4702>_;

and
<1161>

his
<846>

disciples
<3101>

were an hungred
<3983> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

began
<756> (5662)

to pluck
<5089> (5721)

the ears of corn
<4719>_,

and
<2532>

to eat
<2068> (5721)_.

12:2

But
<1161>

when the Pharisees
<5330>

saw
<1492> (5631)

[it], they said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

thy
<4675>

disciples
<3101>

do
<4160> (5719)

that which
<3739>

is
<1832> (0)

not
<3756>

lawful
<1832> (5748)

to do
<4160> (5721)

upon
<1722>

the sabbath day
<4521>_.

12:3

But
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

Have ye
<314> (0)

not
<3756>

read
<314> (5627)

what
<5101>

David
<1138>

did
<4160> (5656)_,

when
<3753>

he
<846>

was an hungred
<3983> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

they
<3326>

that were with him
<846>_;

12:4

How
<4459>

he entered into
<1525> (5627) <1519>

the house
<3624>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

did eat
<5315> (5627)

the shewbread
<740> <4286>_,

which
<3739>

was
<2258> (5713)

not
<3756>

lawful
<1832> (5752)

for him
<846>

to eat
<5315> (5629)_,

neither for
<3761>

them which
<3326>

were with him
<846>_,

but
<1508>

only
<3441>

for the priests
<2409>_?

12:5

Or
<2228>

have ye
<314> (0)

not
<3756>

read
<314> (5627)

in
<1722>

the law
<3551>_,

how that
<3754>

on the sabbath days
<4521>

the priests
<2409>

in
<1722>

the temple
<2411>

profane
<953> (5719)

the sabbath
<4521>_,

and
<2532>

are
<1526> (5748)

blameless
<338>_?

12:6

But
<1161>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

That
<3754>

in this place
<5602>

is [one]
<2076> (5748)

greater than
<3187>

the temple
<2411>_.

12:7

But
<1161>

if
<1487>

ye had known
<1097> (5715)

what
<5101>

[this] meaneth
<2076> (5748)_,

I will have
<2309> (5719)

mercy
<1656>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

sacrifice
<2378>_,

ye would
<302>

not
<3756>

have condemned
<2613> (5656)

the guiltless
<338>_.

12:8

For
<1063>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

is
<2076> (5748)

Lord
<2962>

even
<2532>

of the sabbath day
<4521>_.

12:9

And
<2532>

when he was departed
<3327> (5631)

thence
<1564>_,

he went
<2064> (5627)

into
<1519>

their
<846>

synagogue
<4864>_:

12:10

And
<2532>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

there was
<2258> (5713)

a man
<444>

which had
<2192> (5723)

[his] hand
<5495>

withered
<3584>_.

And
<2532>

they asked
<1905> (5656)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Is it lawful
<1487> <1832> (5748)

to heal
<2323> (5721)

on the sabbath days
<4521>_?

that
<2443>

they might accuse
<2723> (5661)

him
<846>_.

12:11

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

What
<5101>

man
<444>

shall there be
<2071> (5704)

among
<1537>

you
<5216>_,

that
<3739>

shall have
<2192> (5692)

one
<1520>

sheep
<4263>_,

and
<2532>

if
<1437>

it
<5124>

fall
<1706> (5632)

into
<1519>

a pit
<999>

on the sabbath day
<4521>_,

will he
<2902> (0)

not
<3780>

lay hold
<2902> (5692)

on it
<846>_,

and
<2532>

lift [it] out
<1453> (5692)_?

12:12

How much
<4214>

then
<3767>

is a man
<444>

better than
<1308> (5719)

a sheep
<4263>_?

Wherefore
<5620>

it is lawful
<1832> (5748)

to do
<4160> (5721)

well
<2573>

on the sabbath days
<4521>_.

12:13

Then
<5119>

saith
<3004> (5719)

he to the man
<444>_,

Stretch forth
<1614> (5657)

thine
<4675>

hand
<5495>_.

And
<2532>

he stretched [it] forth
<1614> (5656)_;

and
<2532>

it was restored
<600> (5681)

whole
<5199>_,

like as
<5613>

the other
<243>_.

12:14

Then
<1161>

the Pharisees
<5330>

went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and held
<2983> (5627)

a council
<4824>

against
<2596>

him
<846>_,

how
<3704>

they might destroy
<622> (5661)

him
<846>_.

{held...: or, took counsel}

12:15

But
<1161>

when Jesus
<2424>

knew
<1097> (5631)

[it], he withdrew himself
<402> (5656)

from thence
<1564>_:

and
<2532>

great
<4183>

multitudes
<3793>

followed
<190> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

he healed
<2323> (5656)

them
<846>

all
<3956>_;

12:16

And
<2532>

charged
<2008> (5656)

them
<846>

that
<3363> (0)

they should
<4160> (0)

not
<3363>

make
<4160> (5661)

him
<846>

known
<5318>_:

12:17

That
<3704>

it might be fulfilled
<4137> (5686)

which
<3588>

was spoken
<4483> (5685)

by
<1223>

Esaias
<2268>

the prophet
<4396>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

12:18

Behold
<2400> (5628)

my
<3450>

servant
<3816>_,

whom
<3739>

I have chosen
<140> (5656)_;

my
<3450>

beloved
<27>_,

in
<1519>

whom
<3739>

my
<3450>

soul
<5590>

is well pleased
<2106> (5656)_:

I will put
<5087> (5692)

my
<3450>

spirit
<4151>

upon
<1909>

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

he shall shew
<518> (5692)

judgment
<2920>

to the Gentiles
<1484>_.

12:19

He shall
<2051> (0)

not
<3756>

strive
<2051> (5692)_,

nor
<3761>

cry
<2905> (5692)_;

neither
<3761>

shall any man
<5100>

hear
<191> (5692)

his
<846>

voice
<5456>

in
<1722>

the streets
<4113>_.

12:20

A bruised
<4937> (5772)

reed
<2563>

shall he
<2608> (0)

not
<3756>

break
<2608> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

smoking
<5188> (5746)

flax
<3043>

shall he
<4570> (0)

not
<3756>

quench
<4570> (5692)_,

till
<2193> <302>

he send forth
<1544> (5632)

judgment
<2920>

unto
<1519>

victory
<3534>_.

12:21

And
<2532>

in
<1722>

his
<846>

name
<3686>

shall
<1679> (0)

the Gentiles
<1484>

trust
<1679> (5692)_.

12:22

Then
<5119>

was brought
<4374> (5681)

unto him
<846>

one possessed with a devil
<1139> (5740)_,

blind
<5185>_,

and
<2532>

dumb
<2974>_:

and
<2532>

he healed
<2323> (5656)

him
<846>_,

insomuch that
<5620>

the blind
<5185>

and
<2532>

dumb
<2974>

both
<2532>

spake
<2980> (5721)

and
<2532>

saw
<991> (5721)_.

12:23

And
<2532>

all
<3956>

the people
<3793>

were amazed
<1839> (5710)_,

and
<2532>

said
<3004> (5707)_,

Is
<2076> (5748)

not
<3385>

this
<3778>

the son
<5207>

of David
<1138>_?

12:24

But
<1161>

when the Pharisees
<5330>

heard
<191> (5660)

[it], they said
<2036> (5627)_,

This
<3778>

[fellow] doth
<1544> (0)

not
<3756>

cast out
<1544> (5719)

devils
<1140>_,

but
<1508>

by
<1722>

Beelzebub
<954>

the prince
<758>

of the devils
<1140>_.

{Beelzebub: Gr. Beelzebul}

12:25

And
<1161>

Jesus
<2424>

knew
<1492> (5761)

their
<846>

thoughts
<1761>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

Every
<3956>

kingdom
<932>

divided
<3307> (5685)

against
<2596>

itself
<1438>

is brought to desolation
<2049> (5743)_;

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

city
<4172>

or
<2228>

house
<3614>

divided
<3307> (5685)

against
<2596>

itself
<1438>

shall
<2476> (0)

not
<3756>

stand
<2476> (5701)_:

12:26

And
<2532>

if
<1487>

Satan
<4567>

cast out
<1544> (5719)

Satan
<4567>_,

he is divided
<3307> (5681)

against
<1909>

himself
<1438>_;

how
<4459>

shall
<2476> (0)

then
<3767>

his
<846>

kingdom
<932>

stand
<2476> (5701)_?

12:27

And
<2532>

if
<1487>

I
<1473>

by
<1722>

Beelzebub
<954>

cast out
<1544> (5719)

devils
<1140>_,

by
<1722>

whom
<5101>

do your
<5216>

children
<5207>

cast [them] out
<1544> (5719)_?

therefore
<5124> <1223>

they
<846>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

your
<5216>

judges
<2923>_.

12:28

But
<1161>

if
<1487>

I
<1473>

cast out
<1544> (5719)

devils
<1140>

by
<1722>

the Spirit
<4151>

of God
<2316>_,

then
<686>

the kingdom
<932>

of God
<2316>

is come
<5348> (5656)

unto
<1909>

you
<5209>_.

12:29

Or
<2228>

else how
<4459>

can
<1410> (5736)

one
<5100>

enter
<1525> (5629)

into
<1519>

a strong man's
<2478>

house
<3614>_,

and
<2532>

spoil
<1283> (5658)

his
<846>

goods
<4632>_,

except
<3362>

he first
<4412>

bind
<1210> (5661)

the strong man
<2478>_?

and
<2532>

then
<5119>

he will spoil
<1283> (5692)

his
<846>

house
<3614>_.

12:30

He that is
<5607> (5752)

not
<3361>

with
<3326>

me
<1700>

is
<2076> (5748)

against
<2596>

me
<1700>_;

and
<2532>

he that gathereth
<4863> (5723)

not
<3361>

with
<3326>

me
<1700>

scattereth abroad
<4650> (5719)_.

12:31

Wherefore
<1223> <5124>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

All manner of
<3956>

sin
<266>

and
<2532>

blasphemy
<988>

shall be forgiven
<863> (5701)

unto men
<444>_:

but
<1161>

the blasphemy
<988>

[against] the [Holy] Ghost
<4151>

shall
<863> (0)

not
<3756>

be forgiven
<863> (5701)

unto men
<444>_.

12:32

And
<2532>

whosoever
<3739> <302>

speaketh
<2036> (5632)

a word
<3056>

against
<2596>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>_,

it shall be forgiven
<863> (5701)

him
<846>_:

but
<3739>

whosoever
<1161> <302>

speaketh
<2036> (5632)

against
<2596>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_,

it shall
<863> (0)

not
<3756>

be forgiven
<863> (5701)

him
<846>_,

neither
<3777>

in
<1722>

this
<5129>

world
<165>_,

neither
<3777>

in
<1722>

the [world] to come
<3195> (5723)_.

12:33

Either
<2228>

make
<4160> (5657)

the tree
<1186>

good
<2570>_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

fruit
<2590>

good
<2570>_;

or else
<2228>

make
<4160> (5657)

the tree
<1186>

corrupt
<4550>_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

fruit
<2590>

corrupt
<4550>_:

for
<1063>

the tree
<1186>

is known
<1097> (5743)

by
<1537>

[his] fruit
<2590>_.

12:34

O generation
<1081>

of vipers
<2191>_,

how
<4459>

can ye
<1410> (5736)_,

being
<5607> (5752)

evil
<4190>_,

speak
<2980> (5721)

good things
<18>_?

for
<1063>

out of
<1537>

the abundance
<4051>

of the heart
<2588>

the mouth
<4750>

speaketh
<2980> (5719)_.

12:35

A good
<18>

man
<444>

out of
<1537>

the good
<18>

treasure
<2344>

of the heart
<2588>

bringeth forth
<1544> (5719)

good things
<18>_:

and
<2532>

an evil
<4190>

man
<444>

out of
<1537>

the evil
<4190>

treasure
<2344>

bringeth forth
<1544> (5719)

evil things
<4190>_.

12:36

But
<1161>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

That
<3754>

every
<3956>

idle
<692>

word
<4487>

that
<3739> <1437>

men
<444>

shall speak
<2980> (5661)_,

they shall give
<591> (5692)

account
<3056>

thereof
<4012> <846>

in
<1722>

the day
<2250>

of judgment
<2920>_.

12:37

For
<1063>

by
<1537>

thy
<4675>

words
<3056>

thou shalt be justified
<1344> (5701)_,

and
<2532>

by
<1537>

thy
<4675>

words
<3056>

thou shalt be condemned
<2613> (5701)_.

12:38

Then
<5119>

certain
<5100>

of the scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

of the Pharisees
<5330>

answered
<611> (5662)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Master
<1320>_,

we would
<2309> (5719)

see
<1492> (5629)

a sign
<4592>

from
<575>

thee
<4675>_.

12:39

But
<1161>

he answered
<611> (5679)

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

An evil
<4190>

and
<2532>

adulterous
<3428>

generation
<1074>

seeketh after
<1934> (5719)

a sign
<4592>_;

and
<2532>

there shall no
<3756>

sign
<4592>

be given
<1325> (5701)

to it
<846>_,

but
<1508>

the sign
<4592>

of the prophet
<4396>

Jonas
<2495>_:

12:40

For
<1063>

as
<5618>

Jonas
<2495>

was
<2258> (5713)

three
<5140>

days
<2250>

and
<2532>

three
<5140>

nights
<3571>

in
<1722>

the whale's
<2785>

belly
<2836>_;

so
<3779>

shall the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

be
<2071> (5704)

three
<5140>

days
<2250>

and
<2532>

three
<5140>

nights
<3571>

in
<1722>

the heart
<2588>

of the earth
<1093>_.

12:41

The men
<435>

of Nineveh
<3536>

shall rise
<450> (5698)

in
<1722>

judgment
<2920>

with
<3326>

this
<5026>

generation
<1074>_,

and
<2532>

shall condemn
<2632> (5692)

it
<846>_:

because
<3754>

they repented
<3340> (5656)

at
<1519>

the preaching
<2782>

of Jonas
<2495>_;

and
<2532>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

a greater than
<4119>

Jonas
<2495>

[is] here
<5602>_.

12:42

The queen
<938>

of the south
<3558>

shall rise up
<1453> (5701)

in
<1722>

the judgment
<2920>

with
<3326>

this
<5026>

generation
<1074>_,

and
<2532>

shall condemn
<2632> (5692)

it
<846>_:

for
<3754>

she came
<2064> (5627)

from
<1537>

the uttermost parts
<4009>

of the earth
<1093>

to hear
<191> (5658)

the wisdom
<4678>

of Solomon
<4672>_;

and
<2532>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

a greater than
<4119>

Solomon
<4672>

[is] here
<5602>_.

12:43

<1161>@ When
<3752>

the unclean
<169>

spirit
<4151>

is gone
<1831> (5632)

out of
<575>

a man
<444>_,

he walketh
<1330> (5736)

through
<1223>

dry
<504>

places
<5117>_,

seeking
<2212> (5723)

rest
<372>_,

and
<2532>

findeth
<2147> (5719)

none
<3756>_.

12:44

Then
<5119>

he saith
<3004> (5719)_,

I will return
<1994> (5692)

into
<1519>

my
<3450>

house
<3624>

from whence
<3606>

I came out
<1831> (5627)_;

and
<2532>

when he is come
<2064> (5631)_,

he findeth
<2147> (5719)

[it] empty
<4980> (5723)_,

swept
<4563> (5772)_,

and
<2532>

garnished
<2885> (5772)_.

12:45

Then
<5119>

goeth he
<4198> (5736)_,

and
<2532>

taketh
<3880> (5719)

with
<3326>

himself
<1438>

seven
<2033>

other
<2087>

spirits
<4151>

more wicked
<4191>

than himself
<1438>_,

and
<2532>

they enter in
<1525> (5631)

and dwell
<2730> (5719)

there
<1563>_:

and
<2532>

the last
<2078>

[state] of that
<1565>

man
<444>

is
<1096> (5736)

worse than
<5501>

the first
<4413>_.

Even so
<3779>

shall it be
<2071> (5704)

also
<2532>

unto this
<5026>

wicked
<4190>

generation
<1074>_.
