Matteus 12
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Lärjungarna plockar vete på sabbatsdagen
12 En dag vandrade Jesus genom några sädesfält tillsammans med sina lärjungar. Det var sabbat, den judiska gudstjänstdagen, och hans lärjungar var hungriga. Därför började de rycka av veteax och äta.
2 Men några fariseer såg det och protesterade: Dina lärjungar bryter mot lagen. De skördar på sabbaten.
3 Men Jesus sa till dem: Har ni aldrig läst vad kung David gjorde när han och hans vänner var hungriga?
4 Han gick in i templet, och han och hans män åt av det speciella bröd som bara prästerna fick äta av. De bröt också mot lagen.
5 Och har ni aldrig läst i Moses lag att prästerna, som tjänstgör i templet, får arbeta på sabbaten?
6 Och här finns verkligen en som är större än templet!
7 Men om ni förstod detta Skriftens ord: Jag älskar barmhärtighet mer än offer, så skulle ni inte ha dömt dem som är oskyldiga.
8 För Människosonen har rätt att avgöra vad som är tillåtet på sabbaten eller inte.
Jesus botar en man med vanställd hand på sabbatsdagen
9 Sedan gick Jesus till synagogan, och
10 där fick han se en man som hade en missbildad hand. Fariseerna frågade honom då: Tillåter lagen att man botar någon på sabbaten? De hoppades naturligtvis att han skulle svara ja, så att de kunde få något att anklaga honom för.
11 Men han svarade: Om någon av er bara har ett enda får och det faller i en brunn på sabbaten, tar han då inte tag i det och drar upp det samma dag? Naturligtvis gör han det.
12 Och en människa är mycket mer värd än ett får! Därför är det rätt att göra gott på sabbaten.
13 Sedan sa han till mannen: Räck fram din hand. Och när mannen gjorde det blev handen normal, precis som den andra!
14 Då kallade fariseerna samman ett möte i avsikt att arrestera och döda Jesus.
Stora skaror följer Jesus
15 Men Jesus förstod vad de tänkte och lämnade därför synagogan och gick sin väg. Många följde efter honom och han botade alla sjuka bland dem,
16 men för att inte väcka misstankar om vem han var, förbjöd han dem att säga något.
17 Så uppfylldes Jesajas profetia om honom:
18 Se på min tjänare! Se min utvalde! Han är min älskade, mitt hjärtas glädje. Jag ska ge honom min Ande och han ska döma folken.
19 Han griper inte till våld, och han höjer inte rösten!
20 Han slår inte ner de svaga eller släcker det hopp som tynar. Och en dag ska han lösa alla konflikter,
21 och han ska vara världens hopp.
Jesus beskylls för att vara besatt av Satan
22 Sedan förde man en andebesatt man till honom som var både blind och stum. Och Jesus botade honom, så att han både kunde se och tala.
23 Folkskaran häpnade. Kanske Jesus ändå är Messias! ropade de.
24 Men när fariseerna hörde om undret sa de: Han driver ut onda andar med hjälp av Satan, de onda andarnas kung.
25 Jesus förstod vad de tänkte och svarade: Ett splittrat rike går under. Och en stad eller ett hem, som är splittrat inbördes, kan inte bestå.
26 Om Satan driver ut Satan, så strider han mot sig själv och förstör sitt eget rike.
27 Om det är som ni påstår att jag driver ut onda andar med hjälp av Satan, vilken kraft använder då ert folk när de driver ut dem? Låt dem svara på er anklagelse!
28 Men om jag driver ut onda andar med Guds Ande, då har gudsriket kommit till er.
29 Man kan inte behärska Satans rike utan att först binda Satan. Bara då kan onda andar drivas ut!
30 Den som inte är för mig är emot mig, och den som inte hjälper mig skadar mig.
31-32 Till och med hädelse mot mig eller vilken annan synd som helst kan förlåtas. Alla utom en: om man syndar mot den helige Ande, kommer det aldrig att förlåtas, vare sig i denna världen eller i den värld som ska komma.
33 Ett träd känns igen på sin frukt. Ett gott träd bär god frukt. Dåliga arter gör det inte.
34 Ni huggormsyngel! Hur kan onda män som ni tala om vad som är gott och rätt? Det är människans hjärta som bestämmer vad hon säger.
35 En god människas ord avslöjar de rika skatterna inom henne. En ondsint människa är fylld av gift, och man märker det när hon talar.
36 Och jag säger er att på domens dag kommer ni att få stå till svars för varje tomt ord ni talar.
37 Era ord nu avgör ert öde då. Antingen kommer ni att frias genom vad ni sagt, eller också kommer ni att dömas av det.
Religiösa ledare ber Jesus om ett under
38 En dag kom några av de judiska ledarna, tillsammans med fariseerna och bad att få se ett under, som skulle bevisa att han verkligen var Messias.
39-40 Men Jesus svarade: Det är bara onda människor utan tro som kräver bevis för det. Men de kommer inte att få se något annat än det som hände med profeten Jona! På samma sätt som Jona var i den stora fisken tre dagar och tre nätter, så kommer Människosonen att vara i jordens inre tre dagar och tre nätter.
41 Invånarna i Nineve ska på domens dag döma er, för de ändrade sig. När Jona predikade för dem övergav de nämligen sitt onda levnadssätt och vände sig till Gud. Men här finns en som är större än Jona, och ni vägrar att tro på honom.
42 Drottningen av Söderlandet ska på domens dag träda fram som vittne mot detta folk och döma det. Hon kom från ett avlägset land för att lyssna till Salomos visdom. Men här finns en som är större än Salomo, och ni vägrar att tro på honom.
43-45 Detta onda folk är likt en man som är besatt av en ond ande. När den onde anden lämnar honom, irrar den oroligt omkring i öknen tills den finner ett nytt offer. Finner den inget säger den: 'Jag återvänder till den man jag kom ifrån.' Den gör det också och finner mannens hjärta rent, men tomt! Då letar den onde anden reda på sju andra andar, ännu ondare än han själv. Tillsammans tar de sedan kontrollen över mannen. Och så får han det värre än han hade det förut. Så kommer det också att gå för detta onda släkte.
Jesus berättar om sin verkliga familj
46-47 Medan Jesus talade i det överfulla huset kom hans mor och bröder dit.När då någon sa till honom att de stod utanför och ville tala med honom
48 frågade han: Vem är min mor? Och vilka är mina bröder?
49 Han pekade sedan på sina lärjungar och sa: Se, det här är min mor och det här är mina bröder.
50 Sedan tillade han: Den som lyder min Far i himlen är min bror, min syster och min mor!

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.”

12 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and His disciples were hungry 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 hungered and they that were with him:
4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law how 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 had departed thence, He went into their synagogue.
10 And behold, there was a man who 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 not lay hold on it and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days.”
13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch forth thine hand.” And he stretched it forth, and it was restored whole like the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out and held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him.
15 But when Jesus knew of it, He withdrew Himself from thence. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.
16 And He charged them that they should not make Him known,
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah 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 show 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, so that the blind and dumb both spoke 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, except by Beelzebub, the prince of 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 then shall 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 despoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will despoil his house.
30 “He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.
31 Therefore 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 Jonah.
40 For as Jonah 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 the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah 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 outside, desiring to speak with Him.
47 Then one said unto Him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, 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 who is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.”
