Lexham English Bible

Plucking Grain on the Sabbath

12 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck off heads of grain and eat them.[a] 2 But when[b] the Pharisees saw it,[c] they said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!” 3 So he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him, 4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests? 5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath and are guiltless? 6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here! 7 And if you had known what it means,[d] ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

A Man with a Withered Hand Healed

9 And going on from there he came into their synagogue. 10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?” in order that they could accuse him. 11 But he said to them, “What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it[e] out? 12 Then to what degree is a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand,” and he stretched it[f] out, and it was restored as healthy as the other one. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted[g] against him in order that they could destroy him.

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Now Jesus, when he[h] learned of it,[i] withdrew from there, and many[j] followed him, and he healed them all. 16 And he warned them that they should not reveal his identity,[k] 17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

18 “Behold my servant whom I have chosen,
    my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out,
    nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 A crushed reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish,
until he brings justice to victory.
21     And in his name the Gentiles[l] will hope.[m]

A House Divided Cannot Stand

22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the man who was mute could speak and see. 23 And all the crowds were amazed and began saying, “Perhaps this one is the Son of David!” 24 But the Pharisees, when they[n] heard it,[o] said, “This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!” 25 But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 And if Satan expels Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them?[p] For this reason they will be your judges! 28 But if I expel demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you! 29 Or how can someone enter into the house of a strong man and steal his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? And then he can thoroughly plunder his house. 30 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters. 31 For this reason I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven! 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, 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 coming one!

Good Trees and Good Fruit or Bad Trees and Bad Fruit

33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree bad and its fruit is bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things when you[q] are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person from his[r] good treasury brings out good things, and the evil person from his[s] evil treasury brings out evil things. 36 But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment! 37 For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonah

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!” 39 But he answered and[t] said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation desires a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah! 40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 41 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something[u] greater than Jonah is here! 42 The queen of the south 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 behold, something[v] greater than Solomon is here!

An Unclean Spirit Returns

43 “Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it.[w] 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’ And when it[x] arrives it finds the house[y] unoccupied and swept and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and[z] live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

46 And[aa] while[ab] he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brothers were standing there outside, desiring to speak to him. 47 And someone told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you.” 48 But he answered and[ac] said to the one who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Behold my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.”

Mateo 12
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

Ang Tanong Tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga(A)

12 Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, dumaan sina Jesus sa triguhan. Nagugutom noon ang kanyang mga tagasunod kaya nanguha ang mga ito ng uhay ng trigo at kinain ang mga butil. 2 Nang makita ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila kay Jesus, “Tingnan mo ang mga tagasunod mo! Ginagawa nila ang ipinagbabawal sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.” 3 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa sa Kasulatan ang ginawa ni David nang magutom siya at ang mga kasamahan niya? 4 Pumasok siya sa bahay ng Dios at kinain nila ng mga kasama niya ang tinapay na inihandog sa Dios, kahit na ayon sa Kautusan, ang mga pari lang ang may karapatang kumain nito. 5 At hindi rin ba ninyo nabasa sa Kautusan na ang mga pari ay nagtatrabaho sa templo kahit sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? Isa itong paglabag sa tuntunin ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, pero hindi sila nagkasala. 6 Tandaan ninyo: may naririto ngayon na mas dakila pa kaysa sa templo. 7-8 Sapagkat ako na Anak ng Tao ang siyang makapagsasabi kung ano ang dapat gawin sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Kung alam lang sana ninyo ang ibig sabihin ng sinabi ng Dios sa Kasulatan: ‘Hindi ang handog ninyo ang hinahangad ko kundi ang maging maawain kayo,’[a] hindi sana ninyo hinatulan ang mga taong walang kasalanan.”

Ang Lalaking Paralisado ang Isang Kamay(B)

9 Mula sa lugar na iyon, pumunta si Jesus sa sambahan ng mga Judio. 10 May lalaki roon na paralisado ang isang kamay. Naroroon din ang mga Pariseo na naghahanap ng maipaparatang kay Jesus, kaya tinanong nila si Jesus, “Ipinapahintulot ba ng Kautusan ang magpagaling sa Araw ng Pamamahinga?” 11 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung mahulog ang tupa ninyo sa isang balon sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, pababayaan na lang ba ninyo? Siyempre, iaahon ninyo, hindi ba? 12 Ngunit mas mahalaga ang tao kaysa sa tupa! Kaya ipinapahintulot ng Kautusan ang paggawa ng mabuti sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.” 13 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa lalaking paralisado ang kamay, “Iunat mo ang iyong kamay!” Iniunat nga ng lalaki ang kanyang kamay at gumaling ito. 14 Lumabas naman ang mga Pariseo at nagplano kung paano nila ipapapatay si Jesus.

Ang Piniling Lingkod ng Dios

15 Nang malaman ni Jesus ang plano ng mga Pariseo, umalis siya roon. Marami ang sumunod sa kanya, at pinagaling niya ang lahat ng may sakit. 16 Pero pinagbilinan niya silang huwag ipaalam sa iba kung sino siya. 17 Katuparan ito ng sinabi ng Dios sa pamamagitan ni Propeta Isaias:

18 “Narito ang pinili kong lingkod.
    Minamahal ko siya at kinalulugdan.
    Ibibigay ko sa kanya ang aking Espiritu,
    at ipapahayag niya ang katarungan sa mga bansa.
19 Hindi siya makikipagtalo o mambubulyaw,
    at hindi maririnig ang kanyang tinig sa daan.
20 Hindi niya ipapahamak ang mahihina ang pananampalataya
    o pababayaan ang mga nawawalan ng pag-asa.[b]
    Hindi siya titigil hanggaʼt hindi niya napapairal ang katarungan.
21 At ang mga tao sa lahat ng bansa ay mananalig sa kanya.”[c]

Si Jesus at si Satanas(C)

22 May dinala ang mga tao kay Jesus na isang lalaking bulag at pipi na sinasaniban ng masamang espiritu. Pinagaling siya ni Jesus, agad siyang nakakita at nakapagsalita. 23 Namangha ang lahat at sinabi, “Ito na nga kaya ang Anak ni David?”[d] 24 Pero nang marinig ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila, “Si Satanas[e] na pinuno ng masasamang espiritu ang nagbigay sa kanya ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu!” 25 Alam ni Jesus ang iniisip nila, kaya sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kung ang mga mamamayan ng isang kaharian ay nagkakahati-hati at nag-aaway-away, mawawasak ang kahariang iyon. Ganito rin ang mangyayari sa isang lungsod o tahanan na ang mga nakatira ay nag-aaway-away. 26 Kaya kung si Satanas mismo ang nagpapalayas sa kanyang mga kampon, nagpapakita lang ito na nagkakahati-hati sila at nag-aaway-away. Kung ganoon, paano mananatili ang kanyang kaharian? 27 At kung si Satanas nga ang nagbigay sa akin ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu, sino naman ang nagbigay ng kapangyarihan sa mga tagasunod ninyo na nagpapalayas din ng masasamang espiritu? Sila na rin ang nagpapatunay na mali kayo. 28 Ngayon, kung nagpapalayas ako ng masasamang espiritu sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Dios, nangangahulugan ito na dumating na sa inyo ang paghahari ng Dios.

29 “Hindi maaaring pasukin ng magnanakaw ang bahay ng malakas na tao kung hindi muna niya ito gagapusin. Ngunit kapag naigapos na niya, maaari na niyang nakawan ang bahay nito.[f]

30 “Ang hindi kampi sa akin ay laban sa akin, at ang hindi tumutulong sa aking pagtitipon ay nagkakalat. 31 Sinasabi ko sa inyo na ang lahat ng kasalanan, pati na ang paglapastangan sa Dios ay mapapatawad, ngunit ang paglapastangan sa Banal na Espiritu ay hindi mapapatawad. 32 Ang sinumang magsalita ng masama laban sa akin na Anak ng Tao ay mapapatawad, ngunit ang sinumang magsalita ng masama laban sa Banal na Espiritu ay hindi mapapatawad kailanman.”

Nakikilala ang Puno sa Bunga Nito(D)

33 “Nakikilala ang puno sa bunga nito. Kung mabuti ang puno, mabuti rin ang bunga nito. Kung masama ang puno, masama rin ang bunga nito. 34 Mga lahi kayo ng ahas! Paano kayo makakapagsalita ng mabuti gayong masasama kayo? Sapagkat kung ano ang laman ng puso ng isang tao, ito ang lumalabas sa kanyang bibig. 35 Ang mabuting tao ay nagsasalita ng mabuti, dahil puno ng kabutihan ang kanyang puso. Pero ang masamang tao ay nagsasalita ng masama, dahil puno ng kasamaan ang kanyang puso. 36 Tinitiyak ko sa inyo na sa Araw ng Paghuhukom, mananagot ang bawat isa sa mga walang kwentang salitang binitiwan niya. 37 Sapagkat ibabatay sa mga salita mo kung paparusahan ka o hindi.”

Humingi ng Himala ang mga Tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ang mga Pariseo(E)

38 May ilang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo na nagsabi kay Jesus, “Guro, pakitaan nʼyo kami ng isang himalang magpapatunay na sugo nga kayo ng Dios.” 39 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kayong henerasyon ng masasama at hindi tapat sa Dios! Humihingi kayo ng himala, pero walang ipapakita sa inyo maliban sa himalang katulad ng nangyari kay Propeta Jonas. 40 Kung paanong nasa tiyan ng dambuhalang isda si Jonas sa loob ng tatlong araw at tatlong gabi, ganoon din naman ang mangyayari sa akin na Anak ng Tao. Tatlong araw at tatlong gabi rin ako sa ilalim ng lupa. 41 Sa Araw ng Paghuhukom, tatayo[g] ang mga taga-Nineve at kokondenahin ang henerasyong ito, dahil nagsisi sila nang mangaral sa kanila si Jonas. At ngayon, narito ang higit pa kay Jonas, na nangangaral sa inyo, pero ayaw nʼyong magsisi. 42 Maging ang Reyna ng Timog ay tatayo rin at kokondenahin ang henerasyong ito. Sapagkat nanggaling pa siya sa napakalayong lugar para makinig sa karunungan ni Solomon. At ngayon, narito ang higit pa kay Solomon, pero ayaw ninyong makinig sa kanya.”

Ang Pagbabalik ng Masamang Espiritu(F)

43 “Kapag lumabas ang masamang espiritu sa tao, gumagala ito sa mga tuyong lugar upang maghanap ng mapagpapahingahan. At kung wala siyang matagpuan, 44 iisipin na lang niyang bumalik sa kanyang pinanggalingan. At kung sa kanyang pagbabalik ay makita niya itong walang naninirahan, malinis at maayos ang lahat, 45 aalis siya at tatawag ng pito pang espiritu na mas masama kaysa sa kanya. Papasok sila sa taong iyon at doon maninirahan. Kaya lalo pang sasama ang kalagayan ng taong iyon kaysa sa dati. Ganyan din ang mangyayari sa masamang henerasyong ito.”

Ang Ina at mga Kapatid ni Jesus(G)

46 Habang nagsasalita pa si Jesus sa mga tao, dumating ang ina niya at mga kapatid. Naghihintay sila sa labas at gusto nila siyang makausap. 47 May nagsabi sa kanya, “Nasa labas ang po ang inyong ina at mga kapatid, at gusto kayong makausap.” 48 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sino ang aking ina at mga kapatid?” 49 Itinuro niya ang mga tagasunod niya at sinabi, “Ito ang aking ina at mga kapatid. 50 Sapagkat ang sinumang sumusunod sa kalooban ng aking Ama sa langit ang siya kong ina at mga kapatid.”
