Matthew 12
Expanded Bible
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
12 At that time Jesus was walking through some fields of grain on a Sabbath day. His ·followers [disciples] were hungry, so they began to pick the grain and eat it [Deut. 23:25]. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Jesus, “Look! Your ·followers [disciples] are doing what is ·unlawful to do [forbidden] on the Sabbath day.” [C Gleaning was viewed as work, and therefore forbidden on the Sabbath; Ex. 34:21.]
3 Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he and ·the people with him [his companions] were hungry? 4 He went into God’s house, and he and ·those with him [his companions] ate the ·holy bread [consecrated bread; L bread of presentation], which was ·lawful [allowed] only for priests to eat [Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:5–9]. 5 And have you not read in the ·law of Moses [L Law] that on every Sabbath day the priests in the Temple ·break this law about [violate; desecrate; profane] the Sabbath day [C by working when they offer sacrifices]? But the priests are ·not wrong for doing that [L innocent; not guilty]. 6 I tell you that there is ·something [or someone; C may refer to Jesus himself or to the arrival of the kingdom] here that is greater than the Temple. 7 The Scripture says, ‘I want ·kindness more than I want animal sacrifices [L mercy and not sacrifice; Hos. 6:6].’ If you ·understood [had known] what these words mean, you would not have ·judged those who have done nothing wrong [condemned the innocent/guiltless].
8 “·So [For] the Son of Man is ·Lord [Master] of the Sabbath day.”
Jesus Heals a Man’s Hand(B)
9 Jesus left there and went into their synagogue, 10 ·where [L and look/T behold] there was a man with a ·crippled [paralyzed; deformed; shriveled] hand. They were looking for a reason to ·accuse [bring charges against] Jesus, so they asked him, “Is it ·right [lawful] to ·heal [cure] on the Sabbath day?”
11 Jesus answered, “If any of you has a sheep, and it falls into a ·ditch [pit; hole] on the Sabbath day, ·you will [would you not…?] ·help [L grab it and lift] it out of the ditch. 12 ·Surely a human being is more important [L How much better is a person] than a sheep. So it is ·lawful [permitted] to do ·good things [good] on the Sabbath day.”
13 Then Jesus said to the man, “·Hold [Stretch] out your hand.” The man ·held [stretched] out his hand, and it ·became well again [was restored], ·like [L as healthy as] the other hand. 14 But the Pharisees left and ·made plans [plotted; conspired] to ·kill [destroy] Jesus.
Jesus Is God’s Chosen Servant(C)
15 Jesus knew ·what the Pharisees were doing [L this], so he left that place. ·Many people [Large crowds] followed him, and he healed all who were sick. 16 But Jesus warned the people not to ·tell who he was [make him known]. 17 He did these things to ·bring about [fulfill] what Isaiah the prophet had said:
18 “·Here is [L Behold; Look!] my servant whom I have chosen.
·I love him [The one I love; My beloved], ·and I am pleased with him [L in whom my soul delights/is well pleased].
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will ·tell of my [proclaim] justice to ·all people [the nations/Gentiles].
19 He will not ·argue [quarrel; fight] or ·cry out [shout];
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a ·crushed blade of grass [battered/bruised reed]
or ·put out [extinguish] ·even a weak flame [a flickering candle; L a smoldering wick]
until he ·makes justice win the [leads justice to] victory.
21 In ·him [L his name] will the ·Gentiles [nations; non-Jewish people] ·find [put their] hope [Is. 42:1–4].”
Jesus’ Power Is from God(D)
22 Then some people brought to Jesus a man who was blind and ·could not talk [mute], because he ·had a demon [was demon-possessed/demonized]. Jesus healed the man so that he could talk and see. 23 All the people were amazed and said, “Perhaps this man is the Son of David [C a title for the Messiah, a descendant of King David; 2 Sam. 7:11–16]!”
24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man uses the power of Beelzebul [C another name for Satan], the ruler of demons, to ·force [drive; cast] demons out of people.”
25 Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking, so he said to them, “Every kingdom that is ·divided against [at war with] itself ·will be destroyed [is doomed/headed for ruin]. And any city or ·family [L house] that is ·divided against [at war with] itself will not ·continue [survive; stand]. 26 And if Satan ·forces out himself [L drives/casts out Satan], then Satan is ·divided against [at war with] himself, and ·his kingdom will not continue [L how will his kingdom stand?]. 27 You say that I use the power of Beelzebul [v. 24] to ·force [drive; cast] out demons. If that is true, then what power do your ·people [own exorcists; followers; L sons] use to ·force [drive; force] out demons? So they will be your judges. 28 But if I use the power of God’s Spirit to ·force [drive; cast] out demons, then the kingdom of God has ·come to you [arrived among you; or overtaken you; caught you unaware].
29 “·If anyone wants to [L Or how can anyone…?] enter a strong person’s house and ·steal [seize; plunder] his things, he must first ·tie up [bind] the strong person. Then he can ·steal [seize; plunder] the things from the house. [C Satan is the strong man and his possessions are the people Jesus is freeing from Satan’s power.]
The Sin Against the Holy Spirit(E)
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me. Whoever does not ·work [gather] with me ·is working against me [scatters; C probably a reference to gathering or scattering a flock; John 10:12]. 31 So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sin and ·everything they say against God [blasphemy]. But whoever ·speaks [blasphemes] against the ·Holy Spirit [L Spirit] will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, ·now or in the future [L neither in this age, nor the one to come].
People Know You by Your Words
33 “If you want good fruit, you must ·make the tree good [grow a good/healthy tree]. If ·your tree is not good [you grow a bad/unhealthy tree], it will have bad fruit. A tree is ·known [identified; recognized] by the kind of fruit it produces. 34 You ·snakes [T brood/offspring of vipers]! You are evil people, so how can you say anything good? [L For] The mouth speaks the things that ·are in [overflow from] the heart. 35 Good people ·have good things in their hearts, and so they say good things [L bring forth good things from the good treasure/storehouse]. But evil people ·have evil in their hearts, so they say evil things [L bring forth evil things from the evil treasure/storehouse]. 36 And I tell you that on the judgment day people will ·be responsible [give an accounting; answer] for every ·careless [idle; thoughtless; unhelpful] ·thing [word] they have said. 37 ·The words you have said will be used to judge you. Some of your words will prove you right, but some of your words will prove you guilty [L For by your words you will be acquitted/justified, and by your words you will be condemned].”
The People Ask for a Miracle(F)
38 Then some of the Pharisees and ·teachers of the law [scribes] answered Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want to see ·you work a miracle as a sign [L a sign from you].”
39 Jesus answered, “Evil and sinful people [L An evil and adulterous/unfaithful generation] are the ones who ·want to see [seek after; ask for; demand] ·a miracle for a sign [L a sign]. But no sign will be given to them, except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 [L For just as] Jonah was in the stomach of the ·big fish [sea monster; sea creature] for three days and three nights [Jon. 1:17]. In the same way, the Son of Man will be in the ·grave [L heart of the earth] three days and three nights. 41 On the judgment day the ·people [or men] from Nineveh will stand up with ·you people who live now [this generation], and they will ·show that you are guilty [condemn you]. [L Because] When Jonah preached to them, they ·were sorry and changed their lives [repented]. And ·I tell you that [L look; T behold] ·someone [or something; C either Jesus or the Kingdom of God] greater than Jonah is here. 42 On the judgment day, the Queen of the South will ·stand [rise] up with ·you people who live today [this generation]. She will ·show that you are guilty [condemn you], because she came from ·far away [the ends of the earth] to listen to Solomon’s wise teaching [1 Kin. 10:1–13]. And ·I tell you that [L look; T behold] ·someone [or something] greater than Solomon is here.
People Today Are Full of Evil(G)
43 “When an ·evil [defiling; L unclean] spirit comes out of a person, it travels through ·dry [waterless; arid] places, looking for a place to rest, but it doesn’t find it. 44 So the spirit says, ‘I will go back to the house [C the person] I left.’ When the spirit comes back, it finds the house still empty, swept clean, and ·made neat [put in order; fixed up]. 45 Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits even more ·evil [wicked] than it is, and they go in and live there. So ·the person has even more trouble than before [L the last state of that person is worse than the first]. ·It is the same way [L So it will be] with ·the evil people who live today [this evil generation].”
Jesus’ True Family(H)
46 While Jesus was talking to the ·people [crowds], [L look; T behold] his mother and ·brothers [or brothers and sisters; C the Greek word can mean “siblings”] stood outside, ·trying to find a way [seeking; asking] to talk to him. 47 Someone told Jesus, “[L Look; T Behold] Your mother and brothers [and sisters] are standing outside, ·and they want [seeking; asking] to talk to you.”[a]
48 He answered, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers [and sisters]?” 49 Then he ·pointed to [or stretched out his hand toward] his ·followers [disciples] and said, “·Here are [L Look; T Behold] my mother and my brothers. 50 My true brother and sister and mother are those who do ·what my Father in heaven wants [the will of my Father in heaven].”

Mateo 12
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
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.
Matthew 12
New King James Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
12 At that time (B)Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to (C)pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”
3 But He said to them, “Have you not read (D)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate (E)the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, (F)but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the (G)law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple [a]profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is (H)One greater than the temple. 7 But if you had known what this means, (I)‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord [b]even of the Sabbath.”
Healing on the Sabbath(J)
9 (K)Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, (L)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.
11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. 14 Then (M)the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Behold, My Servant
15 But when Jesus knew it, (N)He withdrew from there. (O)And great [c]multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. 16 Yet He (P)warned them not to make Him known, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
18 “Behold!(Q) My Servant whom I have chosen,
My Beloved (R)in whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;
21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
A House Divided Cannot Stand(S)
22 (T)Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the [d]blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the (U)Son of David?”
24 (V)Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by [e]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
25 But Jesus (W)knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, (X)surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 (Y)Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
The Unpardonable Sin(Z)
31 “Therefore I say to you, (AA)every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, (AB)but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who (AC)speaks a word against the Son of Man, (AD)it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
A Tree Known by Its Fruit(AE)
33 “Either make the tree good and (AF)its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 (AG)Brood[f] of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? (AH)For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure [g]of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The Scribes and Pharisees Ask for a Sign(AI)
38 (AJ)Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and (AK)adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 (AL)For 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. 41 (AM)The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and (AN)condemn it, (AO)because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. 42 (AP)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
An Unclean Spirit Returns(AQ)
43 (AR)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, (AS)he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; (AT)and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Send for Him(AU)
46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, (AV)behold, His mother and (AW)brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, (AX)Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My (AY)brothers! 50 For (AZ)whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
