Katanungan tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga(A)
12 Isang(B) Araw ng Pamamahinga, dumaan sina Jesus sa triguhan. Nagugutom ang kanyang mga alagad noon, kaya't sila'y kumuha ng mga butil ng trigo at kumain niyon. 2 Nang makita ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila sa kanya, “Tingnan mo ang ginagawa ng iyong mga alagad. Mahigpit iyang ipinagbabawal ng Kautusan sa Araw ng Pamamahinga!” 3 Sumagot(C) si Jesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa ang ginawa ni David nang magutom siya at ang kanyang mga kasama? 4 Pumasok(D) siya sa bahay ng Diyos, kumain ng tinapay na handog at pinakain din niya ang kanyang mga kasama. Labag sa Kautusan ang ginawa nila sapagkat ang mga pari lamang ang may karapatang kumain niyon. 5 Hindi(E) ba ninyo nababasa sa Kautusan na tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga, ang mga pari ay may ginagawa sa Templo na bawal gawin sa araw na iyon? Gayunma'y hindi sila nagkakasala! 6 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, may isang naririto na higit na dakila kaysa Templo. 7 Kung(F) nauunawaan lamang ninyo ang kahulugan ng mga salitang ito, ‘Habag ang nais ko at hindi handog,’ hindi sana ninyo hinatulan ang mga walang sala. 8 Sapagkat ang Anak ng Tao ay Panginoon ng Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
Pinagaling ang Lalaking Paralisado ang Kamay(G)
9 Pagkaalis ni Jesus sa pook na iyon, pumasok siya sa sinagoga. 10 May isang lalaki roon na paralisado ang isang kamay. Naroon din ang ilang taong naghahanap ng pagkakataong maparatangan si Jesus. Tinanong nila si Jesus, “Naaayon ba sa Kautusan ang magpagaling ng maysakit kung Araw ng Pamamahinga?”
11 Sumagot(H) siya, “Kung kayo'y may tupang nahulog sa balon sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, hindi ba ninyo ito iaahon? 12 Higit na mahalaga ang isang tao kaysa isang tupa! Kaya't naaayon sa Kautusan ang gumawa ng mabuti sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
13 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa lalaki, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay.” Iniunat nga ng lalaki ang kanyang kamay at ito'y gumaling gaya ng kabilang kamay. 14 Kaya't umalis ang mga Pariseong naroroon at nag-usap-usap kung paano nila maipapapatay si Jesus.
Ang Lingkod na Hinirang
15 Nang malaman ito ni Jesus, umalis siya sa lugar na iyon. Maraming tao ang sumunod sa kanya, at pinagaling niya ang lahat ng maysakit. 16 Ngunit mahigpit niyang ipinagbilin na huwag nilang ipamalita kung sino siya. 17 Sa gayon, natupad ang sinabi ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Propeta Isaias,
18 “Narito(I) ang lingkod ko na aking hinirang,
ang aking minamahal at lubos na kinalulugdan;
ibubuhos ko sa kanya ang aking Espiritu,
at siya ang magpapahayag ng katarungan sa mga bansa.
19 Hindi siya makikipag-away o maninigaw,
ni magtataas ng boses sa mga lansangan,
20 hindi niya babaliin ang tambong marupok,
hindi rin niya papatayin ang ilawang umaandap,
hanggang katarunga'y hindi nagtatagumpay nang ganap;
21 at ang pag-asa ng mga Hentil, sa kanya ay ilalagak.”
Si Jesus at si Beelzebul(J)
22 Dinala noon kay Jesus ang isang lalaking bulag at pipi na sinasapian ng demonyo. Pinagaling siya ni Jesus kaya't siya'y nakakita at nakapagsalita. 23 Namangha ang lahat at sinabi nila, “Ito na kaya ang Anak ni David?” 24 Nang(K) marinig ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila, “Nakapagpapalayas siya ng mga demonyo sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ni Beelzebul, ang pinuno ng mga demonyo.” 25 Subalit alam ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip kaya't sinabi niya, “Ang bawat kahariang naglalaban-laban ang mga mamamayan ay babagsak, at alinmang bayan o sambahayang sila-sila ang naglalaban ay mawawasak. 26 Kaya't kung si Satanas ang nagpapalayas kay Satanas, kinakalaban niya ang kanyang sarili! Kung gayon, paano pa niya mapapanatili ang kanyang kaharian? 27 Kung ako'y nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa kapangyarihan ni Beelzebul, sa kaninong kapangyarihan naman nagpapalayas ng demonyo ang inyong mga tagasunod? Ang ginagawa nila ang magpapatunay na maling-mali kayo. 28 Ngunit kung ako'y nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa kapangyarihan ng Espiritu ng Diyos, nangangahulugang dumating na sa inyo ang kaharian ng Diyos.
29 “Hindi(L) mapapasok ang bahay ng isang taong malakas kung hindi muna siya gagapusin. Kung nakagapos na siya, saka pa lamang malolooban ang bahay niya. 30 Ang(M) hindi panig sa akin ay laban sa akin, at ang hindi ko kasamang mag-ipon ay nagkakalat. 31 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, mapapatawad ang anumang kasalanan at paglapastangan, ngunit hindi patatawarin ang paglapastangan sa Espiritu Santo. 32 Sinumang(N) magsalita laban sa Anak ng Tao ay patatawarin, ngunit sinumang magsalita laban sa Espiritu Santo ay hindi patatawarin, maging sa panahong ito o sa panahong darating.”
Sa Bunga Nakikilala(O)
33 “Sinasabi(P) ninyong mabuti ang punongkahoy kung mabuti ang kanyang bunga at masama ang punongkahoy kung masama ang kanyang bunga, sapagkat sa bunga nakikilala ang puno. 34 Lahi(Q) ng mga ulupong! Paano kayong makakapagsabi ng mabubuting bagay gayong kayo'y masasama? Kung ano ang nag-uumapaw sa puso ay siyang sinasabi ng bibig. 35 Mabuti ang sinasabi ng mabuting tao, sapagkat puno ng kabutihan ang kanyang puso. Masama ang sinasabi ng masamang tao, sapagkat puno ng kasamaan ang kanyang puso.
36 “Tandaan ninyo, sa Araw ng Paghuhukom, pananagutan ng tao ang bawat walang kabuluhang salitang sinabi niya. 37 Pawawalang-sala ka, o paparusahan, batay sa iyong mga salita.”
Hinanapan si Jesus ng Palatandaan(R)
38 Sinabi(S) naman sa kanya ng ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo, “Guro, maaari po bang magpakita kayo sa amin ng isang palatandaan?” 39 Sumagot(T) si Jesus, “Lahing masama at taksil sa Diyos! Naghahanap kayo ng palatandaan ngunit walang ipapakita sa inyo maliban sa himalang nangyari kay Propeta Jonas. 40 Kung(U) paanong si Jonas ay tatlong araw at tatlong gabing nasa tiyan ng dambuhalang isda, ang Anak ng Tao ay tatlong araw at tatlong gabi ring nasa ilalim ng lupa. 41 Sa(V) Araw ng Paghuhukom, tatayo ang mga taga-Nineve at sasaksi laban sa lahing ito, sapagkat nagsisi sila matapos pangaralan ni Jonas. Ngunit higit pa kay Jonas ang naririto. 42 Sa(W) araw na iyon, sasaksi rin ang Reyna ng Sheba laban sa lahing ito. Naglakbay siya mula pa sa dulo ng daigdig upang masaksihan ang karunungan ni Solomon, ngunit higit pa kay Solomon ang naririto ngayon!”
Ang Pagbabalik ng Masamang Espiritu(X)
43 “Kapag ang masamang espiritu ay lumabas mula sa isang tao, siya'y gumagala sa mga lupaing tigang upang maghanap ng mapagpapahingahan. Kung wala itong matagpuan 44 ay sinasabi sa sarili, ‘Babalik ako sa tahanang aking pinanggalingan.’ Pagbalik niya at makita itong walang laman, malinis at maayos, 45 aalis muna siya't magsasama pa ng pitong espiritung mas masama pa kaysa kanya at papasok sila at maninirahan doon. Dahil dito, ang kanyang magiging kalagayan ay mas masama pa kaysa dati. Ganyan ang mangyayari sa masamang lahing ito.”
Ang Ina at mga Kapatid ni Jesus(Y)
46 Habang si Jesus ay nagsasalita sa maraming tao, dumating ang kanyang ina at mga kapatid. Naghihintay sila sa labas dahil nais nila siyang makausap. [47 May nagsabi kay Jesus, “Nasa labas po ang inyong ina at mga kapatid. Ibig nila kayong makausap.”][a] 48 Ngunit sinabi niya, “Sino ang aking ina at sinu-sino ang aking mga kapatid?” 49 Itinuro niya ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi, “Sila ang aking ina at mga kapatid. 50 Sapagkat ang sinumang sumusunod sa kalooban ng aking Ama na nasa langit, iyon ang aking ina at mga kapatid.”

Matthew 12
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.
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.”
