12 At en that ekeinos · ho time kairos Jesus Iēsous went poreuō · ho through dia the ho grainfields sporimos on the ho Sabbath sabbaton; · ho and de his autos disciples mathētēs were hungry peinaō, and kai they began archō to pluck tillō heads of grain stachus and kai eat esthiō. 2 But de when the ho Pharisees Pharisaios saw this, they said legō to him autos, “ Look idou, · ho your sy disciples mathētēs are doing poieō what hos is not ou lawful to do poieō on en a Sabbath sabbaton.” 3 But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ Have you not ou read anaginōskō what tis David Dauid did poieō when hote he and kai those ho with meta him autos were hungry peinaō, 4 how pōs he entered eiserchomai the ho house oikos of ho God theos and kai they ate esthiō the ho sacred prothesis bread artos, · ho which hos it was eimi not ou lawful for him autos to eat esthiō nor oude for those ho who were with meta him autos, but ei mē for the ho priests hiereus alone monos? 5 Or ē have you not ou read anaginōskō in en the ho law nomos that hoti on the ho Sabbath sabbaton the ho priests hiereus in en the ho temple hieron break bebēloō the ho Sabbath sabbaton and kai yet are eimi not guilty anaitios? 6 But de I say legō to you hymeis that hoti something greater megas than the ho temple hieron is eimi here hōde. 7 And de if ei you had known ginōskō what tis this means eimi, ‘ I desire thelō mercy eleos and kai not ou sacrifice thusia,’ you would an not ou have condemned katadikazō the ho guiltless anaitios. 8 For gar the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is eimi lord kyrios of the ho Sabbath sabbaton.”
9 Then kai he left metabainō that place ekeithen and went erchomai into eis · ho their autos synagogue synagōgē, 10 and kai there he saw idou a man anthrōpos with echō a withered xēros hand cheir. And kai they asked eperōtaō him autos, “Is it lawful to heal therapeuō on the ho Sabbath sabbaton?”— so hina they might have a charge to bring katēgoreō against him autos. 11 But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ What tis man anthrōpos is eimi there among ek you hymeis who hos has echō only one heis sheep probaton, and kai if ean it houtos falls empiptō into eis a pit bothunos on the ho Sabbath sabbaton, will he not ouchi take krateō hold of it autos and kai lift egeirō it out ? 12 How posos much more diapherō valuable then oun is a man anthrōpos than a sheep probaton! So hōste then , it is lawful to do poieō good kalōs on the ho Sabbath sabbaton.” 13 Then tote he said legō to the ho man anthrōpos, “ Stretch ekteinō out your sy · ho hand cheir.” And kai the man stretched ekteinō it out , and kai it was restored apokathistēmi, sound hygiēs like hōs the ho other allos. 14 Then de the ho Pharisees Pharisaios went exerchomai and plotted symboulion lambanō against kata him autos in order hopōs that they might put him autos to death apollymi.
15 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous, aware ginōskō of this, withdrew anachōreō from there ekeithen. And kai large polys crowds ochlos followed akoloutheō him autos, and kai he healed therapeuō them autos all pas. 16 And kai he sternly warned epitimaō them autos that hina they should poieō not mē make poieō him autos known phaneros 17 so hina that what ho was written legō by dia Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs might be fulfilled plēroō: 18 “ Here idou is · ho my egō servant pais whom hos I have chosen hairetizō, · ho my egō beloved agapētos with eis whom hos my egō soul psychē is well pleased eudokeō. · ho I will put tithēmi · ho my egō Spirit pneuma upon epi him autos, and kai he will proclaim apangellō justice krisis to the ho nations ethnos. 19 He will not ou quarrel erizō, nor oude will he cry kraugazō out , nor oude will anyone tis hear akouō his autos voice phōnē in en the ho streets platys. · ho 20 A shattered syntribō reed kalamos he will not ou break katagnymi, and kai a smoldering typhō wick linon he will not ou snuff sbennymi out , until heōs an he brings ekballō justice krisis to eis victory nikos. · ho 21 And kai in ho his autos name onoma the nations ethnos will put their hope elpizō.”
22 Then tote a blind typhlos and kai mute kōphos demoniac daimonizomai was brought prospherō to him autos, and kai he healed therapeuō him autos so hōste that the ho mute kōphos could both speak laleō and kai see blepō. 23 And kai all pas the ho crowds ochlos were astonished existēmi and kai were saying legō, “ Could mēti this houtos be eimi the ho Son hyios of David Dauid?” 24 But de when the ho Pharisees Pharisaios heard akouō this, they said legō, “ This houtos fellow does not ou cast ekballō out · ho demons daimonion except ei mē by en · ho Beelzebul Beelzeboul, the ruler archōn of the ho demons daimonion.”
25 But de he knew oida · ho their autos thoughts enthumēsis and said legō to them autos, “ Every pas kingdom basileia divided merizō against kata itself heautou is brought erēmoō to ruin , and kai no ou city polis or ē house oikia divided merizō against kata itself heautou will stand histēmi. 26 So kai if ei · ho Satan Satanas casts out ekballō · ho Satan Satanas, he is divided merizō against epi himself heautou; how pōs then oun will his autos kingdom basileia stand histēmi? · ho 27 And kai if ei I egō cast out ekballō demons daimonion by en Beelzebul Beelzeboul, · ho by en whom tis do · ho your hymeis sons hyios cast ekballō them out ? For dia this reason houtos they autos will be eimi your hymeis judges kritēs. 28 But de if ei I egō cast out ekballō demons daimonion by en the Spirit pneuma of God theos, · ho then ara the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos has come phthanō upon epi you hymeis. 29 Or ē how pōs can dynamai someone tis enter eiserchomai eis the ho strong man’ s ischuros house oikia · ho and kai carry off harpazō · ho his autos belongings skeuos, unless ean mē he first prōton ties deō up the ho strong ischuros man ?

33 “ Either ē make poieō the ho tree dendron good kalos and kai · ho its autos fruit karpos good kalos, or ē make poieō the ho tree dendron rotten sapros and kai · ho its autos fruit karpos rotten sapros; for gar the ho tree dendron is known ginōskō by ek its ho fruit karpos. 34 You offspring gennēma of snakes echidna!

Matthew 12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Lord of the Sabbath
12 At that time Jesus passed through the grainfields on the Sabbath.(A) His disciples(B) were hungry and began to pick and eat some heads of grain. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful(C) to do on the Sabbath!”
3 He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry— 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate[a] the sacred bread, which is not lawful for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?(D) 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law[b] that on Sabbath days the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and are innocent?(E) 6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here!(F) 7 If you had known what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice,(G)[c] you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”(H)
The Man with the Paralyzed Hand
9 Moving on from there, He entered their synagogue.(I) 10 There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”(J)
11 But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep[d] that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?(K) 12 A man is worth far more than a sheep,(L) so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored,(M) as good as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.(N)
The Servant of the Lord
15 When Jesus became aware of this, He withdrew from there. Huge crowds[e] followed Him, and He healed them all.(O) 16 He warned them not to make Him known,(P) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
18 Here is My Servant whom I have chosen,
My beloved in whom My soul delights;
I will put My Spirit on Him,
and He will proclaim justice to the nations.(Q)
19 He will not argue or shout,
and no one will hear His voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed,
and He will not put out a smoldering wick,
until He has led justice to victory.[f]
21 The nations will put their hope in His name.(R)[g]
A House Divided
22 Then a demon-possessed man(S) who was blind and unable to speak was brought to Him. He healed him, so that the man[h] could both speak and see.(T) 23 And all the crowds were astounded and said, “Perhaps this is the Son of David!”(U)
24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “The man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”(V)
25 Knowing their thoughts,(W) He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 If Satan(X) drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, who is it your sons drive them out by? For this reason they will be your judges.(Y) 28 If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.(Z) 29 How can someone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up(AA) the strong man? Then he can rob his house. 30 Anyone who is not with Me is against Me,(AB) and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters. 31 Because of this,(AC) I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy,(AD) but the blasphemy against[i] the Spirit will not be forgiven.[j] 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man,(AE) 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 one to come.(AF)
A Tree and Its Fruit
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad[k] and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.(AG) 34 Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow(AH) of the heart. 35 A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good,[l] and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.(AI) 36 I tell you that on the day of judgment(AJ) people will have to account(AK) for every careless word they speak.[m] 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The Sign of Jonah
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”(AL)
39 But He answered them,(AM) “An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AN) 40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights,(AO) so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it,(AP) because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and look—something greater than Jonah is here!(AQ) 42 The queen of the south(AR) will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look—something greater than Solomon is here!
An Unclean Spirit’s Return
43 “When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.(AS) 44 Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ And returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order. 45 Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.(AT) That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”
True Relationships
46 He(AU) was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly His mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to speak to Him.(AV) 47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”[n]
48 But He replied to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples,(AW) He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, that person is My brother and sister and mother.”(AX)
