Jesús, Señor del día de reposo
12 (A)Por aquel tiempo[a] Jesús pasó por entre los sembrados en el día de reposo; sus discípulos tuvieron hambre, y empezaron a arrancar espigas(B) y a comer. 2 Y cuando lo vieron los fariseos, le dijeron: Mira, tus discípulos hacen lo que no es lícito hacer en el día de reposo(C). 3 Pero Él les dijo: ¿No habéis leído lo que hizo David cuando él y sus compañeros tuvieron hambre, 4 cómo entró en la casa de Dios y comieron los panes consagrados[b](D), que no les era lícito comer, ni a él ni a los que estaban con él, sino solo a los sacerdotes? 5 ¿O no habéis leído en la ley, que en los días de reposo los sacerdotes en el templo profanan el día de reposo y están sin culpa? 6 Pues os digo que algo[c] mayor que el templo está aquí(E). 7 Pero si hubierais sabido lo que esto significa[d]: «Misericordia[e] quiero y no sacrificio(F)», no hubierais condenado a los inocentes. 8 Porque el Hijo del Hombre(G) es Señor del día de reposo.
Jesús sana al hombre de la mano seca
9 (H)Pasando de allí, entró en la sinagoga de ellos. 10 Y he aquí, había allí un hombre que tenía una mano seca. Y para poder acusarle, le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en el día de reposo(I)? 11 Y Él les dijo: ¿Qué hombre habrá de vosotros que tenga una sola oveja, si esta se le cae en un hoyo en día de reposo, no le echa mano y la saca(J)? 12 Pues, ¡cuánto más vale un hombre que una oveja(K)! Por tanto, es lícito hacer bien en el día de reposo. 13 Entonces dijo* al hombre: Extiende tu mano. Y él la extendió, y le fue restaurada(L), sana como la otra. 14 Pero cuando los fariseos salieron, se confabularon[f] contra Él, para ver cómo podrían destruirle(M).
Jesús, el siervo escogido
15 Mas Jesús, sabiéndolo, se retiró de allí. Y muchos le siguieron, y los sanó a todos(N). 16 Y les advirtió que no revelaran quién era Él[g](O); 17 para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Isaías, cuando dijo:
18 Mirad, mi Siervo[h], a quien he escogido[i](P);
mi amado en quien se agrada[j] mi alma(Q);
sobre El pondré mi Espíritu(R),
y a las naciones[k] proclamara justicia[l].
19 No contenderá, ni gritara(S),
ni habrá quien en las calles oiga su voz.
20 No quebrara la caña cascada,
ni apagara la mecha que humea(T),
hasta que lleve[m] a la victoria la justicia[n].
21 Y en su nombre pondrán las naciones[o] su esperanza(U).
Jesús y Beelzebú
22 (V)Entonces le trajeron un endemoniado ciego y mudo(W), y lo sanó, de manera que el mudo hablaba y veía. 23 Y todas las multitudes estaban asombradas, y decían: ¿Acaso no es este el Hijo de David(X)? 24 Pero cuando los fariseos lo oyeron, dijeron: Este no expulsa los demonios sino por Beelzebú, el príncipe de los demonios(Y). 25 (Z)Y conociendo Jesús sus pensamientos, les dijo(AA): Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo es asolado, y toda ciudad o casa dividida contra sí misma no se mantendrá en pie. 26 Y si Satanás expulsa a Satanás(AB), está[p] dividido contra sí mismo; ¿cómo puede entonces mantenerse en pie su reino? 27 Y si yo expulso los demonios por Beelzebú(AC), ¿por quién los expulsan vuestros hijos(AD)? Por tanto, ellos serán vuestros jueces. 28 Pero si yo expulso los demonios por el Espíritu de Dios, entonces el reino de Dios ha llegado a vosotros. 29 ¿O cómo puede alguien entrar en la casa de un hombre fuerte y saquear sus bienes, si primero no lo ata[q]? Y entonces saqueará su casa. 30 El que no está conmigo, está contra mí; y el que no recoge conmigo, desparrama(AE). 31 (AF)Por eso os digo: todo pecado y blasfemia será perdonado a los hombres, pero la blasfemia contra el Espíritu no será perdonada. 32 Y a cualquiera que diga una palabra contra el Hijo del Hombre, se le perdonará; pero al que hable contra el Espíritu Santo, no se le perdonará ni en este siglo[r](AG) ni en el venidero. 33 O haced bueno el árbol y bueno su fruto, o haced malo el árbol y malo su fruto; porque por el fruto se conoce el árbol(AH). 34 ¡Camada de víboras(AI)! ¿Cómo podéis hablar cosas buenas siendo malos? Porque de la abundancia del corazón habla la boca(AJ). 35 El hombre bueno de su buen tesoro saca cosas buenas; y el hombre malo de su mal tesoro saca cosas malas(AK). 36 Y yo os digo que de toda palabra vana que hablen los hombres, darán cuenta de ella en el día del juicio(AL). 37 Porque por tus palabras serás justificado, y por tus palabras serás condenado.
Escribas y fariseos demandan señal
38 Entonces le respondieron algunos de los escribas y fariseos, diciendo: Maestro, queremos ver una señal[s] de parte tuya(AM). 39 Pero respondiendo Él, les dijo: (AN)Una generación perversa y adúltera demanda señal[t], y ninguna señal[u] se le dará, sino la señal[v] de Jonás el profeta; 40 porque como estuvo Jonás en el vientre del monstruo marino tres días y tres noches(AO), así estará el Hijo del Hombre(AP) tres días y tres noches en el corazón de la tierra(AQ). 41 Los hombres de Nínive(AR) se levantarán con esta generación en el juicio y la condenarán, porque ellos se arrepintieron con la predicación de Jonás(AS); y mirad, algo más grande que Jonás está aquí(AT). 42 La Reina del Sur(AU) se levantará con esta generación en el juicio y la condenará, porque ella vino desde los confines de la tierra para oír la sabiduría de Salomón; y mirad, algo más grande que Salomón está aquí(AV). 43 (AW)Cuando el espíritu inmundo sale del hombre, pasa por lugares áridos buscando descanso y no lo halla. 44 Entonces dice: «Volveré a mi casa de donde salí»; y cuando llega, la encuentra desocupada, barrida y arreglada. 45 Va entonces, y toma consigo otros siete espíritus más depravados que él, y entrando, moran allí; y el estado final de aquel hombre resulta peor que el primero(AX). Así será también con esta generación perversa.
La madre y los hermanos de Jesús
46 (AY)Mientras Él aún estaba hablando a la multitud, he aquí, su madre(AZ) y sus hermanos(BA) estaban afuera, deseando hablar con Él. 47 Y alguien le dijo: He aquí, tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera deseando hablar contigo. 48 Pero respondiendo Él al que se lo decía, dijo: ¿Quién es mi madre, y quiénes son mis hermanos? 49 Y extendiendo su mano hacia sus discípulos, dijo: ¡He aquí mi madre y mis hermanos! 50 Porque cualquiera que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos, ese es mi hermano y mi hermana y mi madre.

King James Version
12 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

12 Nang panahong yaon ay naglalakad si Jesus nang araw ng sabbath sa mga bukiran ng trigo; at nangagutom ang kaniyang mga alagad at nangagpasimulang magsikitil ng mga uhay at magsikain.
2 Datapuwa't pagkakita nito ng mga Fariseo, ay sinabi nila sa kaniya, Tingnan mo, ginagawa ng mga alagad mo ang hindi matuwid na gawin sa sabbath.
3 Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi baga ninyo nabasa ang ginawa ni David nang siya'y nagutom, at ang mga kasamahan niya;
4 Kung paanong siya'y pumasok sa bahay ng Dios, at kumain siya ng mga tinapay na handog, na hindi matuwid na kanin niya, ni ng mga kasamahan niya, kundi ng mga saserdote lamang?
5 O hindi baga ninyo nabasa sa kautusan, kung papaanong sa mga araw ng sabbath ay niwawalang galang ng mga saserdote sa templo ang sabbath, at hindi nangagkakasala?
6 Datapuwa't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na dito ay may isang lalong dakila kay sa templo.
7 Datapuwa't kung nalalaman ninyo kung ano ang kahulugan nito, Habag ang ibig ko, at hindi hain, ay hindi sana ninyo hinatulan ang mga walang kasalanan.
8 Sapagka't ang Anak ng tao ay panginoon ng sabbath.
9 At siya'y umalis doon at pumasok sa sinagoga nila:
10 At narito, may isang tao na tuyo ang isang kamay. At sa kaniya'y itinanong nila, na sinasabi, Matuwid bagang magpagaling sa araw ng sabbath? upang siya'y kanilang maisumbong.
11 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sino kaya sa inyo, na kung mayroong isang tupa, na kung mahulog ito sa isang hukay sa araw ng sabbath, ay hindi baga niya aabutin, at hahanguin?
12 Gaano pa nga ang isang tao na may halaga kay sa isang tupa! Kaya't matuwid na gumawa ng mabuti sa araw ng sabbath.
13 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa lalake, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay. At iniunat niya; at napauling walang sakit, na gaya ng isa.
14 Datapuwa't nagsialis ang mga Fariseo, at nangagpulong laban sa kaniya, kung papaanong siya'y maipapupuksa nila.
15 At pagkahalata nito ni Jesus ay lumayo roon: at siya'y sinundan ng marami; at kaniyang pinagaling silang lahat,
16 At ipinagbilin niya sa kanila, na siya'y huwag nilang ihayag:
17 Upang matupad ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng propeta Isaias, na nagsasabi,
18 Narito, ang lingkod ko na aking hinirang; At minamahal ko na kinalulugdan ng aking kaluluwa: Isasakaniya ko ang aking Espiritu, At ihahayag niya ang paghuhukom sa mga Gentil.
19 Hindi siya makikipagtalo, ni sisigaw; Ni maririnig man ng sinoman ang kaniyang tinig sa mga lansangan.
20 Hindi niya babaliin ang tambong gapok, At hindi papatayin ang timsim na umuusok, Hanggang sa papagtagumpayin ang paghuhukom.
21 At aasa sa kaniyang pangalan ang mga Gentil.
22 Nang magkagayo'y dinala sa kaniya ang isang inaalihan ng demonio, bulag at pipi, at kaniyang pinagaling, ano pa't ang pipi ay nagsalita at nakakita.
23 At ang buong karamihan ay nangagtaka, at nangagsabi, Ito kaya ang Anak ni David?
24 Datapuwa't nang marinig ito ng mga Fariseo, ay kanilang sinabi, Ang taong ito'y hindi nagpapalabas ng mga demonio, kundi sa pamamagitan ni Beelzebub na prinsipe ng mga demonio.
25 At pagkaalam niya ng mga iniisip nila, ay sinabi niya sa kanila, Ang bawa't kahariang nagkakabahabahagi laban sa kaniyang sarili ay mawawasak; ang bawa't bayan o bahay na nagkakabahabahagi laban sa kaniyang sarili ay hindi mananatili.
26 At kung pinalalabas ni Satanas si Satanas, siya nababahagi laban sa kaniyang sarili; papaano ngang mananatili ang kaniyang kaharian?
27 At kung sa pamamagitan ni Beelzebub ay nagpapalabas ako ng mga demonio, ang inyong mga anak sa kaninong pamamagitan sila'y pinalalabas? kaya nga sila ang inyong magiging mga hukom.
28 Nguni't kung sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Dios nagpapalabas ako ng mga demonio, ay dumating nga sa inyo ang kaharian ng Dios.
29 O papaano bagang makapapasok ang sinoman sa bahay ng malakas, at samsamin ang kaniyang mga pag-aari, kung hindi muna gapusin ang malakas? at kung magkagayo'y masasamsaman niya ang kaniyang bahay.
30 Ang hindi sumasa akin ay laban sa akin; at ang hindi nagiimpok na kasama ko ay nagsasambulat.
31 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang bawa't kasalanan at kapusungan ay ipatatawad sa mga tao; datapuwa't ang kapusungang laban sa Espiritu ay hindi ipatatawad.
32 At ang sinomang magsalita ng isang salitang laban sa Anak ng tao, ay ipatatawad sa kaniya; datapuwa't ang sinomang magsalita laban sa Espiritu Santo, ay hindi ipatatawad sa kaniya, kahit sa sanglibutang ito, o maging sa darating.
33 O pabutihin ninyo ang punong kahoy, at mabuti ang bunga niyaon; o pasamain ninyo ang punong kahoy, at masama ang bunga niyaon: sapagka't ang punong kahoy ay nakikilala sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang bunga.
34 Kayong lahi ng mga ulupong, papaano kayo na masasama, ay makapagsasalita ng mabubuting bagay? sapagka't sa kasaganaan ng puso ay nagsasalita ang bibig.
35 Ang mabuting tao sa kaniyang mabuting kayamanan ay kumukuha ng mabubuting bagay: at ang masamang tao sa kaniyang masamang kayamanan ay kumukuha ng masasamang bagay.
36 At sinasabi ko sa inyo, na ang bawa't salitang walang kabuluhang sabihin ng mga tao ay ipagsusulit nila sa araw ng paghuhukom.
37 Sapagka't sa iyong mga salita ikaw ay magiging banal, at sa iyong mga salita ay hahatulan ka.
38 Nang magkagayo'y nagsisagot sa kaniya ang ilan sa mga eskriba at sa mga Fariseo, na nangagsasabi, Guro, ibig namin makakita ng isang tanda sa iyo.
39 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot, at sinabi sa kanila, Isang lahing masama at mapangalunya ay humahanap ng isang tanda; at hindi siya bibigyan ng anomang tanda kundi ng tanda ng propeta Jonas:
40 Sapagka't kung paanong si Jonas ay napasa tiyan ng isang balyena na tatlong araw at tatlong gabi; ay gayon ding mapapasa ilalim ng lupa na tatlong araw at tatlong gabi ang Anak ng tao.
41 Magsisitayo sa paghuhukom ang mga tao sa Nineve na kasama ng lahing ito, at ito'y hahatulan: sapagka't sila'y nagsipagsisi sa pangangaral ni Jonas; at narito, dito'y may isang lalong dakila kay sa kay Jonas.
42 Magbabangon sa paghuhukom ang reina ng timugan na kasama ng lahing ito, at ito'y hahatulan: sapagka't siya'y nanggaling sa mga wakas ng lupa upang pakinggan ang karunungan ni Salomon; at narito, dito'y may isang lalong dakila kay sa kay Salomon.
43 Datapuwa't ang karumaldumal na espiritu, kung siya'y lumabas sa tao, ay lumalakad sa mga dakong walang tubig na humahanap ng kapahingahan, at hindi makasumpong.
44 Kung magkagayo'y sinasabi niya, Babalik ako sa aking bahay na nilabasan ko; at pagdating niya, ay nasusumpungan niyang walang laman, walis na, at nagagayakan.
45 Kung magkagayo'y yumayaon siya, at nagsasama ng pito pang espiritu na lalong masasama kay sa kaniya, at sila'y nagsisipasok at nagsisitahan doon: at nagiging lalo pang masama ang huling kalagayan ng taong yaon kay sa una. Gayon din ang mangyayari sa masamang lahing ito.
46 Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa sa mga karamihan, narito, ang kaniyang ina at ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay nangakatayo sa labas, at ibig nilang siya'y makausap.
47 At may nagsabi sa kaniya, Narito, ang iyong ina at ang iyong mga kapatid ay nangakatayo sa labas, na ibig nilang makausap ka.
48 Nguni't siya'y sumagot at sinabi sa nagsabi sa kaniya, Sino ang aking ina? at sino-sino ang aking mga kapatid?
49 At iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang mga alagad, at sinabi, Narito, ang aking ina at ang aking mga kapatid!
50 Sapagka't sinomang gumaganap ng kalooban ng aking Ama na nasa langit, ay siyang aking kapatid na lalake at aking kapatid na babae, at ina.

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)(B)
12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain(C) and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”(D)
3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(E) 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.(F) 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath(G) and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.(H) 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a](I) you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man(J) is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus,(K) they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”(L)
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?(M) 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!(N) Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.(O)
God’s Chosen Servant
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.(P) 16 He warned them not to tell others about him.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;(S)
I will put my Spirit on him,(T)
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b](U)
Jesus and Beelzebul(V)
22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.(W) 23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”(X)
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul,(Y) the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”(Z)
25 Jesus knew their thoughts(AA) and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan(AB) drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,(AC) by whom do your people(AD) drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God(AE) has come upon you.
29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(AF) 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.(AG) 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age(AH) or in the age to come.(AI)
33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.(AJ) 34 You brood of vipers,(AK) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(AL) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”(AM)
The Sign of Jonah(AN)(AO)
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign(AP) from you.”(AQ)
39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AR) 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(AS) so the Son of Man(AT) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(AU) 41 The men of Nineveh(AV) will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,(AW) and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(AX) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.(AY) That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AZ)
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother(BA) and brothers(BB) stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven(BC) is my brother and sister and mother.”
