Matthew Chapter 12 -

1
In [G1722] that [G1565] the [G3588] time [G2540] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) went [G4198] the [G3588] on the [G3588] Sabbaths [G4521] through [G1223] the [G3588] corn-fields [G4702]. the [G3588] And [G1161] his trainees '[G3101][G1473] hungered [G3983], and [G2532] they began to pluck [G5089] ears of corn [G4719] and [G2532] to eat [G2068].
2
And the [G3588][G1161] Pharisees [G5330] ("Separate Ones" [H6504]) seeing [G1492], said [G2036] to him [G1473], look [G2400], the [G3588] your trainees '[G3101] do [G4160] what [G3739] is not [G3756] allowed [G1832] to do [G4160] on [G1722] Sabbath [G4521].
3
the [G3588] And [G1161] he said [G2036] to them [G1473], Did you not read [G3756] what [G5100] David did [G4160] when [G3753] he hungered [G3983][G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] with [G3326] him [G1473]?
4
How [G4459] he entered [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] God '[G2316], and [G2532] the [G3588] bread loaves of the [G3588] place setting [G4286] he ate [G2068], which [G3739] not [G3756] allowable [G1832] was for him [G1473] to eat [G2068], nor [G3761] to the [G3588] [ones] with [G3326] him [G1473], except for [G1508] the [G3588] priests [G2409] alone [G3441]?
5
Or [G2228] did you not [G3756] read in [G1722] the [G3588] law [G3551], that [G3754] on the [G3588] Sabbaths [G4521] the [G3588] priests [G2409] in [G1722] the [G3588] temple [G2413] the [G3588] Sabbath [G4521] profane , and [G2532] they are innocent ?
6
But I say [G3004][G1161] to you [G1473] that [G3754] the [G3588] temple [G2413] a greater than [G3173] is here [G5602].
7
And if [G1487][G1161] you had known [G1097] what [G5100] it is , compassion [G1656] I want [G2309] and [G2532] not [G3756] sacrifice [G2378]; you would not have [G3756] judged against [G2613] the [G3588] innocent .
8
boss [G2962] For [G1063] is of the [G3588] Sabbath [G4521] the [G3588] son [G5207] of the [G3588] man .
9
And [G2532] having crossed over [G3327] from there [G1564], he came [G2064] into [G1519] the [G3588]ir synagogue [G4864][G1473].
10
And [G2532] look [G2400], there was a man the [G3588] a hand [G5495] having [G2192] withered [G3584]. And [G2532] they asked [G1905] him [G1473], saying [G3004], Is it allowed [G1487][G1832] on the [G3588] Sabbaths [G4521] to cure [G2323]? that [G2443] they should charge [G2723] him [G1473].
11
the [G3588] And [G1161] he said [G2036] to them [G1473], What [G5100] will be of [G1537] you [G1473] man who [G3739] will have [G2192] sheep [G4263] one [G1520], and [G2532] if [G1437] this one should fall [G1706][G3778] on the [G3588] Sabbaths [G4521] into [G1519] a cistern , will not [G3780] [grab] hold of [G2902] it [G1473] and [G2532] raise [it [G1453]?
12
How much then [G4214][G3767] differs [G1308] a man [than] a sheep [G4263]? So that [G5620] it is allowed [G1832] on the [G3588] Sabbaths [G4521] well [G2573] to do [G4160].
13
Then [G5119] he says [G3004] to the [G3588] man , Stretch out [G1614] the [G3588] your hand [G5495][G1473]! And [G2532] he stretched [it] out [G1614], and [G2532] it was restored in health [G5199] as [G5613] the [G3588] other .
14
And the [G3588][G1161] Pharisees [G5330] ("Separate Ones" [H6504]) council [G4824] took [G2983] against [G2596] him [G1473], having gone forth [G1831], how [G3704] they should destroy him [G1473].
15
the [G3588] But [G1161] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) having known [G1097] he withdrew from there [G1564]. And [G2532] followed him [G1473] crowds [G3793] great [G4183], and [G2532] he cured [G2323] them [G1473] all [G3956].
16
And [G2532] he gave reproach [G2008] to them [G1473] that [G2443] not [G3361] openly [G5318] him [known [G1473] they should make [G4160],
17
so that [G3704] should be fulfilled [G4137] the [thing] [G3588] having been spoken [G4483] through [G1223] Isaiah the [G3588] prophet [G4396], saying [G3004],
18
look [G2400], the [G3588] my child [G3816][G1473] whom [G3739] I selected , the [G3588] my beloved [G1473] for [G1519] whom [G3739] takes pleasure in [G2106] the [G3588] soul [G5590] of me [G1473]; I will put [G5087] the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of me [G1473] upon [G1909] him [G1473], and [G2532] judgment [G2920] to the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484] he will report .
19
He will not [G3756] contend [G2051] nor [G3761] cry out [G2905], nor [G3761] will anyone hear [G5100] in [G1722] the [G3588] squares [G4113] the [G3588] his voice [G5456][G1473].
20
A reed [G2563] being broken [G4937] he will not [G3756] break away [G2608], and [G2532] flax [G3043] smoldering [G5188] he will not [G3756] extinguish [G4570], until [G2193] whenever he should cast forth [G1544] into [G1519] victory [G3534] the [G3588] equity [G2920].
21
And [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] name [G3686] of him [G1473] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484] will hope [G1679].
22
Then [G5119] was brought [G4374] to him [G1473] one being demon-possessed [G1139], blind [G5185] and [G2532] mute [G2974]. And [G2532] he cured [G2323] him [G1473], so as for [G5620] the [G3588] blind [G5185] and [G2532] mute one [G2974] even [G2532] to speak [G2980] and [G2532] to see .
23
And [G2532] were amazed [G1839] all [G3956] the [G3588] crowds [G3793] and [G2532] said [G3004], not [G3385] this [G3778] Is the [G3588] [one] Anointed '[G5547], the [G3588] son [G5207] of David?
24
But the [G3588][G1161] Pharisees [G5330] ("Separate Ones" [H6504]) having heard , said [G2036], This one [G3778] does not [G3756] cast out [G1544] the [G3588] demons [G1140], except [G1508] by [G1722] the [G3588] Beelzebul ruler of the [G3588] demons [G1140].
25
knowing [G1492] But [G1161] the [G3588] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) the [G3588]ir thinking [G1761][G1473], said [G2036] to them [G1473], Every [G3956] government ' portioned out [G3307] against [G2596] itself [G1438] is made desolate [G2049]. And [G2532] every [G3956] city [G4172] or [G2228] house [G3614] being portioned out [G3307] against [G2596] itself [G1438] will not [G3756] be left standing [G2476].
26
And [G2532] if [G1487] the [G3588] Satan [G4567] the [G3588] Satan [G4567] casts out [G1544], against [G1909] himself [G1438] he portions [G3307]; how [G4459] then [G3767] will be left standing [G2476] the [G3588] his government '[G1473]?
27
And [G2532] if [G1487] I [G1473] by [G1722] Beelzebul cast out [G1544] the [G3588] demons [G1140], the [G3588] [do] your sons [G5207][G1473] by what [means [G1722][G5100] cast out [G1544]? On account of [G1223] this [G3778] they [G1473] will be your [G1473] judges [G2923].
28
But if [G1487][G1161] I [G1473] by [G1722] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of God '[G2316] cast out [G1544] the [G3588] demons [G1140], surely then came [G5348] upon [G1909] you [G1473] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] God '[G2316].
29
Or [G2228] how [G4459] is anyone able [G1410][G5100] to enter [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3614] of the [G3588] a strong man [G2478] and [G2532] the [G3588] his equipment [G4632][G1473] plunder [G1283], if [G1437] not [G3361] first [G4412] he ties up [G1210] the [G3588] strong man [G2478]? And [G2532] then [G5119] the [G3588] his house [G3614][G1473] he will plunder [G1283]?
30
the [one] [G3588] not [G3361] being with [G3326] me [G1473] against [G2596] me [G1473] is , and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] not [G3361] gathering together [G4863] with [G3326] me [G1473] disperses [G4650].
31
On account of [G1223] this [G3778] I say [G3004] to you [G1473], Every [G3956] sin and [G2532] blasphemy will be forgiven to the [G3588] men ; but of the [G3588] [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] blasphemy will not [G3756] be forgiven to the [G3588] men .
32
And [G2532] whoever [G3739][G1437] should say [G2036] a word [G3056] against [G2596] the [G3588] son [G5207] of the [G3588] man , it will be forgiven him [G1473]; but the one who [G3739][G1161] should speak [G2036] against [G2596] the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of the [G3588] [one] pure ', it will not [G3756] be forgiven him [G1473], neither [G3777] in [G1722] the [G3588] present [G3568] age (term) `, nor [G3777] in [G1722] the [G3588] [one] about to be [G3195].
33
Then [G2228] make [G4160] the [G3588] tree [G1186] good [G2570], and [G2532] the [G3588] its fruit [G2590][G1473] good [G2570]; or [G2228] make [G4160] the [G3588] tree [G1186] rotten [G4550], and [G2532] the [G3588] its fruit [G2590][G1473] rotten [G4550]! For of [G1537][G1063] the [G3588] fruit [G2590] the [G3588] tree [G1186] is known [G1097].
34
Offspring [G1081] of vipers [G2191], how [G4459] are you able [G1410] good [things] to speak [G2980], being wicked [G4190]? For from out of [G1537][G1063] the [G3588] abundance [G4051] of the [G3588] heart [G2588] the [G3588] mouth [G4750] speaks [G2980].
35
The [G3588] good man from [G1537] the [G3588] good treasury [G2344] of the [G3588] heart [G2588] casts forth [G1544] the [G3588] good [things] ; and [G2532] the [G3588] wicked [G4190] man from [G1537] the [G3588] wicked [G4190] treasury [G2344] casts forth [G1544] the [G3588] wicked [things] [G4190].
36
But I say [G3004][G1161] to you [G1473] that [G3754] every [G3956] saying [G4487] rough , which [G3739] ever [G1437] will speak [G2980] the [G3588] men , they will render for [G4012] it [G1473] a reckoning [G3056] in [G1722] day [G2250] of judgment [G2920].
37
For by [G1537][G1063] the [G3588] your words [G3056][G1473] you will be justified [G1344], and [G2532] by [G1537] the [G3588] your words [G3056][G1473] you will be condemned [G2613].
38
Then [G5119] answered some [G5100] of the [G3588] scholars (scribes) '[G1122] (soferim [H5613]) and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] ("Separate Ones" [H6504]), saying [G3004], Teacher [G1320] ["Rabbi [G4461]" John 1:38], we want [G2309] from you [G1473] a sign [G4592] to see [G1492].
39
And he the [G3588][G1161] answering said [G2036] to them [G1473], A generation [G1074] wicked [G4190] and [G2532] adulterous [G3428] a sign [G4592] seeks anxiously [G1934]; and [G2532] a sign [G4592] will not [G3756] be given [G1325] it [G1473], except [G1508] the [G3588] sign [G4592] of Jonah the [G3588] prophet [G4396].
40
For as [G5618][G1063] Jonah was in [G1722] the [G3588] belly [G2836] of the [G3588] whale [G2785] three [G5140] days [G2250] and [G2532] three [G5140] nights [G3571], so [G3779] will be the [G3588] son [G5207] of the [G3588] man in [G1722] the [G3588] heart [G2588] of the [G3588] land '[G1093] three [G5140] days [G2250] and [G2532] three [G5140] nights [G3571].
41
Ninevite men will rise up in [G1722] the [G3588] judgment [G2920] with [G3326] the [G3588] this generation [G1074][G3778] and [G2532] will condemn [G2632] it [G1473], for [G3754] they repented [G3340] at [G1519] the [G3588] proclamation [G2782] of Jonah; and [G2532] look [G2400], a greater than [G4183] Jonah [is] here [G5602].
42
queen of south [G3558] will rise [G1453] in [G1722] the [G3588] judgment [G2920] with [G3326] the [G3588] this generation [G1074][G3778] and [G2532] will condemn [G2632] it [G1473], for [G3754] she came [G2064] from [G1537] the [G3588] ends [G4009] of the [G3588] land '[G1093] to hear the [G3588] wisdom [G4678] of Solomon; and [G2532] look [G2400], a greater than [G4183] Solomon [is] here [G5602].
43
But whenever [G3752][G1161] the [G3588] unclean wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] should go forth [G1831] from the [G3588] man , it goes [G1330] through [G1223] waterless places [G5117], seeking [G2212] rest , and [G2532] does not [G3756] find [G2147].
44
Then [G5119] it says [G3004], I will return [G1994] unto [G1519] the [G3588] my house [G3624][G1473] from where [G3606] I came forth [G1831]. And [G2532] having come [G2064] it finds [G2147] relaxing [G4980], being swept [G4563], and [G2532] being adorned [G2885].
45
Then [G5119] it goes [G4198] and [G2532] takes [G3880] with [G3326] himself [G1438] seven [G2033] other [G2087] blowing airs (ghosts) '[G4151] more wicked [G4190] than itself [G1438]. And [G2532] entering [G1525] it dwells [G2730] there [G1563]; and [G2532] becomes [G1096] the [G3588] last [G2078] of the [G3588] that man [G1565] worse [G5501] [than] the [G3588] first [G4413]. So [G3779] it will be also [G2532] [to the [G3588] generation [G1074] this [G3778] the [G3588] evil [G4190].
46
And yet [G2089][G1161] of of him '[G1473] speaking [G2980] to the [G3588] crowds [G3793], look [G2400], the [G3588] mother [G3384] and [G2532] the [G3588] brothers of him [G1473] stood [G2476] outside [G1854], seeking [G2212] to speak to him [G1473][G2980].
47
And said [G2036][G1161] a certain one [G5100] to him [G1473], look [G2400], the [G3588] your mother [G3384][G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] your brothers [G1473] [are] outside [G1854] standing [G2476], seeking [G2212] to speak to you [G1473][G2980].
48
And he the [G3588][G1161] responding said [G2036] to the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2036] to him [G1473], Who [G5100] is the [G3588] my mother [G3384][G1473], and [G2532] who [G5100] are the [G3588] my brothers [G1473]?
49
And [G2532] stretching out [G1614] the [G3588] his hand [G5495][G1473] unto [G1909] the [G3588] trainees '[G3101] of him [G1473], he said [G2036], look [G2400], the [G3588] my mother [G3384][G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] my brothers [G1473].
50
For who [G3748][G1063] ever should do [G4160] the [G3588] will [G2307] of the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473], of the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772], he [G1473] my [G1473] brother and [G2532] sister and [G2532] mother [G3384] is .
