1At[G1722]that[G1565]time[G2540]Jesus[G2424]went[G4198] on the sabbath day[G4521]through[G1223] the corn[G4702]; and[G1161]his[G846]disciples[G3101] were an hungred[G3983], and[G2532]began[G756] to pluck[G5089] the ears of corn[G4719], and[G2532] to eat[G2068].
2But[G1161] when the Pharisees[G5330]saw[G1492] it, they said[G2036] unto him[G846], Behold[G2400], thy[G4675]disciples[G3101]do[G4160] that which[G3739]is[G1832]not[G3756]lawful[G1832] to do[G4160]upon[G1722] the sabbath day[G4521].
3But[G1161]he[G846]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Have ye[G314]not[G3756]read[G314]what[G5101]David[G1138]did[G4160], when[G3753]he[G846] was an hungred[G3983], and[G2532]they[G3326] that were with him[G846];
4How[G4459] he entered into[G1525] the house[G3624] of God[G2316], and[G2532] did eat[G5315] the shewbread[G740], which[G3739]was[G2258]not[G3756]lawful[G1832]for[G3761]him[G846] to eat[G5315], neither for[G3761] them which[G3326] were with him[G846], but[G1508]only[G3441]for[G3761] the priests?[G2409]
5Or[G2228] have ye[G314]not[G3756]read[G314]in[G1722] the law[G3551], how that[G3754] on the sabbath[G4521]days[G4521] the priests[G2409]in[G1722] the temple[G2411]profane[G953] the sabbath[G4521], and[G2532]are[G1526]blameless?[G338]
6But[G1161] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754] in this place[G5602] is one[G2076] greater than[G3187] the temple[G2411].
7But[G1161]if[G1487] ye had known[G1097]what[G5101] this meaneth[G2076], I will have[G2309]mercy[G1656], and[G2532]not[G3756]sacrifice[G2378], ye would[G302]not[G3756]have[G2309]condemned[G2613] the guiltless[G338].
8For[G1063] the Son[G5207] of man[G444]is[G2076]Lord[G2962]even[G2532] of the sabbath day[G4521].
9And[G2532] when he was departed[G3327]thence[G1564], he went[G2064]into[G1519]their[G846]synagogue[G4864]:
10And[G2532], behold[G2400], there was[G2258] a man[G444] which had[G2192] his hand[G5495]withered[G3584]. And[G2532] they asked[G1905]him[G846], saying[G3004], Is it lawful[G1487] to heal[G2323] on the sabbath days?[G4521]that[G2443] they might accuse[G2723]him[G846].
11And[G1161]he[G2902]said[G2036] unto them[G846], What[G5101]man[G444] shall there be[G2071]among[G1537]you[G5216], that[G3739] shall have[G2192]one[G1520]sheep[G4263], and[G2532]if[G1437]it[G5124]fall[G1706]into[G1519] a pit[G999] on the sabbath day[G4521], will he[G2902]not[G3780] lay hold[G2902] on it[G846], and[G2532] lift it[G846]out?[G1453]
12
How much[G4214]then[G3767] is a man[G444] better than[G1308] a sheep?[G4263]Wherefore[G5620] it is lawful[G1832] to do[G4160]well[G2573] on the sabbath days[G4521].
13Then[G5119]saith[G3004] he to the man[G444], Stretch forth[G1614]thine[G4675]hand[G5495]. And[G2532] he stretched it forth[G1614]; and[G2532] it was restored[G600]whole[G5199], like as[G5613] the other[G243].
14Then[G1161] the Pharisees[G5330] went out[G1831], and held[G2983] a council[G4824]against[G2596]him[G846], how[G3704] they might destroy[G622]him[G846].
15But[G1161] when Jesus[G2424]knew[G1097] it, he withdrew himself[G402] from thence[G1564]: and[G2532]great[G4183]multitudes[G3793]followed[G190]him[G846], and[G2532] he healed[G2323]them[G846]all[G3956];
16And[G2532]charged[G2008]them[G846]that[G3363] they should[G4160]not[G3363]make[G4160]him[G846]known[G5318]:
17That[G3704] it might be fulfilled[G4137]which[G3588] was spoken[G4483]by[G1223]Esaias[G2268] the prophet[G4396], saying[G3004],
18Behold[G2400]my[G3450]servant[G3816], whom[G3739] I have chosen[G140]; my[G3450]beloved[G27], in[G1519]whom[G3739]my[G3450]soul[G5590] is well pleased[G2106]: I will put[G5087]my[G3450]spirit[G4151]upon[G1909]him[G846], and[G2532] he shall shew[G518]judgment[G2920] to the Gentiles[G1484].
19
He shall[G2051]not[G3756]strive[G2051], nor[G3761]cry[G2905]; neither[G3761]shall[G2051] any man[G5100]hear[G191]his[G846]voice[G5456]in[G1722] the streets[G4113].
21And[G2532]in[G1722]his[G846]name[G3686]shall[G1679] the Gentiles[G1484]trust[G1679].
22Then[G5119] was brought[G4374] unto him[G846] one possessed with a devil[G1139], blind[G5185], and[G2532]dumb[G2974]: and[G2532] he healed[G2323]him[G846], insomuch that[G5620] the blind[G5185]and[G2532]dumb[G2974]both[G2532]spake[G2980]and[G2532]saw[G991].
23And[G2532]all[G3956] the people[G3793] were amazed[G1839], and[G2532]said[G3004], Is[G2076]not[G3385]this[G3778] the son[G5207] of David?[G1138]
24But[G1161] when the Pharisees[G5330]heard[G191] it, they said[G2036], This[G3778] fellow doth[G1544]not[G3756] cast out[G1544]devils[G1140], but[G1508]by[G1722]Beelzebub[G954] the prince[G758] of the devils[G1140].
25And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]knew[G1492]their[G846]thoughts[G1761], and[G2532]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Every[G3956]kingdom[G932]divided[G3307]against[G2596]itself[G1438] is brought to desolation[G2049]; and[G2532]every[G3956]city[G4172]or[G2228]house[G3614]divided[G3307]against[G2596]itself[G1438]shall[G2476]not[G3756]stand[G2476]:
26And[G2532]if[G1487]Satan[G4567] cast out[G1544]Satan[G4567], he is divided[G3307]against[G1909]himself[G1438]; how[G4459]shall[G2476]then[G3767]his[G846]kingdom[G932]stand?[G2476]
27And[G2532]if[G1487]I[G1473]by[G1722]Beelzebub[G954] cast out[G1544]devils[G1140], by[G1722]whom[G5101] do your[G5216]children[G5207] cast them out?[G1544]therefore[G5124]they[G846] shall be[G2071]your[G5216]judges[G2923].
28But[G1161]if[G1487]I[G1473] cast out[G1544]devils[G1140]by[G1722] the Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316], then[G686] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316] is come[G5348]unto[G1909]you[G5209].
29Or[G2228] else how[G4459]can[G1410]one[G5100]enter[G1525]into[G1519] a strong man[G2478]'s house[G3614], and[G2532]spoil[G1283]his[G846]goods[G4632], except[G3362] he first[G4412]bind[G1210] the strong man?[G2478]and[G2532]then[G5119] he will spoil[G1283]his[G846]house[G3614].
30
He that is[G5607]not[G3361]with[G3326]me[G1700]is[G2076]against[G2596]me[G1700]; and[G2532] he that gathereth[G4863]not[G3361]with[G3326]me[G1700] scattereth abroad[G4650].
31Wherefore[G1223] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], All manner of[G3956]sin[G266]and[G2532]blasphemy[G988]shall[G863] be forgiven[G863] unto men[G444]: but[G1161] the blasphemy[G988] against the Holy Ghost[G4151]shall[G863]not[G3756] be forgiven[G863] unto men[G444].
32And[G2532]whosoever[G3739]speaketh[G2036] a word[G3056]against[G2596] the Son[G5207] of man[G444], it shall[G863] be forgiven[G863]him[G846]: but[G3739]whosoever[G302]speaketh[G2036]against[G2596] the Holy[G40]Ghost[G4151], it shall[G863]not[G3756] be forgiven[G863]him[G846], neither[G3777]in[G1722]this[G5129]world[G165], neither[G3777]in[G1722] the world[G165] to come[G3195].
33Either[G2228]make[G4160] the tree[G1186]good[G2570], and[G2532]his[G846]fruit[G2590]good[G2570]; or else[G2228]make[G4160] the tree[G1186]corrupt[G4550], and[G2532]his[G846]fruit[G2590]corrupt[G4550]: for[G1063] the tree[G1186] is known[G1097]by[G1537]his[G846]fruit[G2590].
34
O generation[G1081]of[G1537]vipers[G2191], how[G4459] can ye[G1410], being[G5607]evil[G4190], speak[G2980] good things?[G18]for[G1063] out of[G1537] the abundance[G4051]of[G1537] the heart[G2588] the mouth[G4750]speaketh[G2980].
35
A good[G18]man[G444] out of[G1537] the good[G18]treasure[G2344]of[G1537] the heart[G2588] bringeth forth[G1544]good[G18]things[G18]: and[G2532] an evil[G4190]man[G444] out of[G1537] the evil[G4190]treasure[G2344] bringeth forth[G1544]evil[G4190]things[G4190].
36But[G1161] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754]every[G3956]idle[G692]word[G4487]that[G3739]men[G444] shall speak[G2980], they shall give[G591]account[G3056]thereof[G4012]in[G1722] the day[G2250] of judgment[G2920].
37For[G1063]by[G1537]thy[G4675]words[G3056] thou shalt be justified[G1344], and[G2532]by[G1537]thy[G4675]words[G3056] thou shalt be condemned[G2613].
38Then[G5119]certain[G5100] of the scribes[G1122]and[G2532] of the Pharisees[G5330]answered[G611], saying[G3004], Master[G1320], we would[G2309]see[G1492] a sign[G4592]from[G575]thee[G4675].
39But[G1161] he answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto them[G846], An evil[G4190]and[G2532]adulterous[G3428]generation[G1074] seeketh after[G1934] a sign[G4592]; and[G2532] there shall no[G3756]sign[G4592] be given[G1325] to it[G846], but[G1508] the sign[G4592] of the prophet[G4396]Jonas[G2495]:
40For[G1063]as[G5618]Jonas[G2495]was[G2258]three[G5140]days[G2250]and[G2532]three[G5140]nights[G3571]in[G1722] the whale's belly[G2836]; so[G3779] shall the Son[G5207] of man[G444]be[G2071]three[G5140]days[G2250]and[G2532]three[G5140]nights[G3571]in[G1722] the heart[G2588] of the earth[G1093].
41
The men[G435] of Nineveh[G3536] shall rise[G450]in[G1722]judgment[G2920]with[G3326]this[G5026]generation[G1074], and[G2532] shall condemn[G2632]it[G846]: because[G3754] they repented[G3340]at[G1519] the preaching[G2782] of Jonas[G2495]; and[G2532], behold[G2400], a greater than[G4119]Jonas[G2495] is here[G5602].
42
The queen[G938] of the south[G3558] shall rise up[G1453]in[G1722] the judgment[G2920]with[G3326]this[G5026]generation[G1074], and[G2532] shall condemn[G2632]it[G846]: for[G3754] she came[G2064]from[G1537] the uttermost parts[G4009] of the earth[G1093] to hear[G191] the wisdom[G4678] of Solomon[G4672]; and[G2532], behold[G2400], a greater than[G4119]Solomon[G4672] is here[G5602].
43When[G3752] the unclean[G169]spirit[G4151] is gone[G1831] out of[G575] a man[G444], he walketh[G1330]through[G1223]dry[G504]places[G5117], seeking[G2212]rest[G372], and[G2532]findeth[G2147]none[G3756].
44Then[G5119] he saith[G3004], I will return[G1994]into[G1519]my[G3450]house[G3624] from whence[G3606] I came out[G1831]; and[G2532] when he is come[G2064], he findeth[G2147] it empty[G4980], swept[G4563], and[G2532]garnished[G2885].
45Then[G5119] goeth he[G4198], and[G2532]taketh[G3880]with[G3326]himself[G1438]seven[G2033]other[G2087]spirits[G4151] more wicked[G4191]than[G5501]himself[G1438], and[G2532] they enter in[G1525]and[G2532]dwell[G2730]there[G1563]: and[G2532] the last[G2078] state of that[G1565]man[G444]is[G1096] worse than[G5501] the first[G4413]. Even so[G3779] shall it be[G2071]also[G2532] unto this[G5026]wicked[G4190]generation[G1074].
46While[G2089]he[G846]yet[G1161]talked[G2980] to the people[G3793], behold[G2400], his[G846]mother[G3384]and[G2532]his[G846]brethren[G80]stood[G2476]without[G1854], desiring[G2212] to speak[G2980] with him[G846].
47Then[G1161]one[G5100]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Behold[G2400], thy[G4675]mother[G3384]and[G2532]thy[G4675]brethren[G80]stand[G2476]without[G1854], desiring[G2212] to speak[G2980] with thee[G4671].
48But[G1161] he answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846] that told[G2036]him[G846], Who[G5101]is[G2076]my[G3450]mother?[G3384]and[G2532]who[G5101]are[G1526]my[G3450]brethren?[G80]
49And[G2532] he stretched forth[G1614]his[G846]hand[G5495]toward[G1909]his[G846]disciples[G3101], and[G2532]said[G2036], Behold[G2400]my[G3450]mother[G3384]and[G2532]my[G3450]brethren[G80]!
50For[G1063]whosoever[G3748] shall do[G4160] the will[G2307] of my[G3450]Father[G3962]which[G3588]is[G2076]in[G1722]heaven[G3772], the same[G846]is[G2076]my[G3450]brother[G80], and[G2532]sister[G79], and[G2532]mother[G3384].
