12:1 At
that
time
Jesus
went
through
the
grainfields
on
the
Sabbath.
His
disciples
were
hungry,
and
they
began
to
pluck
heads
of
grain
and
to
eat.
12:2 But
when
the
Pharisees
saw
it,
they
said
to
him,
"Look,
your
disciples
are
doing
what
is
not
lawful
to
do
on
the
Sabbath."
12:3 He
said
to
them,
"Have
you
not
read
what
David
did
when
he
was
hungry,
and
those
who
were
with
him:
12:4 how
he
entered
the
house
of
God
and
ate
the
bread
of
the
Presence,
which
it
was
not
lawful
for
him
to
eat
nor
for
those
who
were
with
him,
but
only
for
the
priests
12:5 Or
have
you
not
read
in
the
Law
how
on
the
Sabbath
the
priests
in
the
temple
profane
the
Sabbath
and
are
guiltless
12:6 I
tell
you,
something
greater
than
the
temple
is
here.
12:7 And
if
you
had
known
what
this
means,
'I
desire
mercy,
and
not
sacrifice,'
you
would
not
have
condemned
the
guiltless.
12:8 For
the
Son
of
Man
is
lord
of
the
Sabbath."
12:9 He
went
on
from
there
and
entered
their
synagogue.
12:10 And
a
man
was
there
with
a
withered
hand.
And
they
asked
him,
"Is
it
lawful
to
heal
on
the
Sabbath"--so
that
they
might
accuse
him.
12:11 He
said
to
them,
"Which
one
of
you
who
has
a
sheep,
if
it
falls
into
a
pit
on
the
Sabbath,
will
not
take
hold
of
it
and
lift
it
out
12:12 Of
how
much
more
value
is
a
man
than
a
sheep!
So
it
is
lawful
to
do
good
on
the
Sabbath."
12:13 Then
he
said
to
the
man,
"Stretch
out
your
hand."
And
the
man
stretched
it
out,
and
it
was
restored,
healthy
like
the
other.
12:14 But
the
Pharisees
went
out
and
conspired
against
him,
how
to
destroy
him.
12:15 Jesus,
aware
of
this,
withdrew
from
there.
And
many
followed
him,
and
he
healed
them
all
12:16 and
ordered
them
not
to
make
him
known.
12:17 This
was
to
fulfill
what
was
spoken
by
the
prophet
Isaiah:
12:18 "Behold,
my
servant
whom
I
have
chosen,
my
beloved
with
whom
my
soul
is
well
pleased.
I
will
put
my
Spirit
upon
him,
and
he
will
proclaim
justice
to
the
Gentiles.
12:19 He
will
not
quarrel
or
cry
aloud,
nor
will
anyone
hear
his
voice
in
the
streets;
12:20 a
bruised
reed
he
will
not
break,
and
a
smoldering
wick
he
will
not
quench,
until
he
brings
justice
to
victory;
12:21 and
in
his
name
the
Gentiles
will
hope."
12:22 Then
a
demon-oppressed
man
who
was
blind
and
mute
was
brought
to
him,
and
he
healed
him,
so
that
the
man
spoke
and
saw.
12:23 And
all
the
people
were
amazed,
and
said,
"Can
this
be
the
Son
of
David"
12:24 But
when
the
Pharisees
heard
it,
they
said,
"It
is
only
by
Beelzebul,
the
prince
of
demons,
that
this
man
casts
out
demons."
12:25 Knowing
their
thoughts,
he
said
to
them,
"Every
kingdom
divided
against
itself
is
laid
waste,
and
no
city
or
house
divided
against
itself
will
stand.
12:26 And
if
Satan
casts
out
Satan,
he
is
divided
against
himself.
How
then
will
his
kingdom
stand
12:27 And
if
I
cast
out
demons
by
Beelzebul,
by
whom
do
your
sons
cast
them
out
Therefore
they
will
be
your
judges.
12:28 But
if
it
is
by
the
Spirit
of
God
that
I
cast
out
demons,
then
the
kingdom
of
God
has
come
upon
you.
12:29 Or
how
can
someone
enter
a
strong
man's
house
and
plunder
his
goods,
unless
he
first
binds
the
strong
man
Then
indeed
he
may
plunder
his
house.
12:30 Whoever
is
not
with
me
is
against
me,
and
whoever
does
not
gather
with
me
scatters.
12:31 Therefore
I
tell
you,
every
sin
and
blasphemy
will
be
forgiven
people,
but
the
blasphemy
against
the
Spirit
will
not
be
forgiven.
12:32 And
whoever
speaks
a
word
against
the
Son
of
Man
will
be
forgiven,
but
whoever
speaks
against
the
Holy
Spirit
will
not
be
forgiven,
either
in
this
age
or
in
the
age
to
come.
12:33 "Either
make
the
tree
good
and
its
fruit
good,
or
make
the
tree
bad
and
its
fruit
bad,
for
the
tree
is
known
by
its
fruit.
12:34 You
brood
of
vipers!
How
can
you
speak
good,
when
you
are
evil
For
out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
the
mouth
speaks.
12:35 The
good
person
out
of
his
good
treasure
brings
forth
good,
and
the
evil
person
out
of
his
evil
treasure
brings
forth
evil.
12:36 I
tell
you,
on
the
day
of
judgment
people
will
give
account
for
every
careless
word
they
speak,
12:37 for
by
your
words
you
will
be
justified,
and
by
your
words
you
will
be
condemned."
12:38 Then
some
of
the
scribes
and
Pharisees
answered
him,
saying,
"Teacher,
we
wish
to
see
a
sign
from
you."
12:39 But
he
answered
them,
"An
evil
and
adulterous
generation
seeks
for
a
sign,
but
no
sign
will
be
given
to
it
except
the
sign
of
the
prophet
Jonah.
12:40 For
just
as
Jonah
was
three
days
and
three
nights
in
the
belly
of
the
great
fish,
so
will
the
Son
of
Man
be
three
days
and
three
nights
in
the
heart
of
the
earth.
12:41 The
men
of
Nineveh
will
rise
up
at
the
judgment
with
this
generation
and
condemn
it,
for
they
repented
at
the
preaching
of
Jonah,
and
behold,
something
greater
than
Jonah
is
here.
12:42 The
queen
of
the
South
will
rise
up
at
the
judgment
with
this
generation
and
condemn
it,
for
she
came
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
to
hear
the
wisdom
of
Solomon,
and
behold,
something
greater
than
Solomon
is
here.
12:43 "When
the
unclean
spirit
has
gone
out
of
a
person,
it
passes
through
waterless
places
seeking
rest,
but
finds
none.
12:44 Then
it
says,
'I
will
return
to
my
house
from
which
I
came.'
And
when
it
comes,
it
finds
the
house
empty,
swept,
and
put
in
order.
12:45 Then
it
goes
and
brings
with
it
seven
other
spirits
more
evil
than
itself,
and
they
enter
and
dwell
there,
and
the
last
state
of
that
person
is
worse
than
the
first.
So
also
will
it
be
with
this
evil
generation."
12:46 While
he
was
still
speaking
to
the
people,
behold,
his
mother
and
his
brothers
stood
outside,
asking
to
speak
to
him.
12:47
12:48 But
he
replied
to
the
man
who
told
him,
"Who
is
my
mother,
and
who
are
my
brothers"
12:49 And
stretching
out
his
hand
toward
his
disciples,
he
said,
"Here
are
my
mother
and
my
brothers!
12:50 For
whoever
does
the
will
of
my
Father
in
heaven
is
my
brother
and
sister
and
mother."
