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
.
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
.
But he said
unto them
, Have ye
not
read
what
David
did
, when
he
was an hungred
, and
they
that were with him
;
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
?
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
?
But I say
unto you
, That
in this place
is one
greater than
the temple
.
But if
ye had known
what
this meaneth
, I will have
mercy
, and
not
sacrifice
, ye would
not
have condemned
the guiltless
.
For the Son
of man
is
Lord
even
of the sabbath day
.
And when he was departed
thence
, he went
into
their
synagogue
:
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
.
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
?
How much then
is a man
better than
a sheep
? Wherefore
it is lawful
to do
well
on the sabbath days
.
Then saith
he to the man
, Stretch forth
thine
hand
. And
he stretched it forth
; and
it was restored
whole
, like as
the other
.
Then the Pharisees
went out
, and held
a council
against
him
, how
they might destroy
him
.
But when Jesus
knew
it , he withdrew himself
from thence
: and
great
multitudes
followed
him
, and
he healed
them
all
;
And charged
them
that
they should
not
make
him
known
:
That it might be fulfilled
which
was spoken
by
Esaias
the prophet
, saying
,
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
.
He shall not
strive
, nor
cry
; neither
shall any man
hear
his
voice
in
the streets
.
A bruised reed
shall he
not
break
, and
smoking
flax
shall he
not
quench
, till
he send forth
judgment
unto
victory
.
And in
his
name
shall
the Gentiles
trust
.
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
.
And all
the people
were amazed
, and
said
, Is
not
this
the son
of David
?
But when the Pharisees
heard
it , they said
, This
fellow doth
not
cast out
devils
, but
by
Beelzebub
the prince
of the devils
.
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
:
And if
Satan
cast out
Satan
, he is divided
against
himself
; how
shall
then
his
kingdom
stand
?
And if
I
by
Beelzebub
cast out
devils
, by
whom
do your
children
cast them out
? therefore
they
shall be
your
judges
.
But if
I
cast out
devils
by
the Spirit
of God
, then
the kingdom
of God
is come
unto
you
.
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
.
He that is not
with
me
is
against
me
; and
he that gathereth
not
with
me
scattereth abroad
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
O generation of vipers
, how
can ye
, being
evil
, speak
good things
? for
out of
the abundance
of the heart
the mouth
speaketh
.
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
.
But I say
unto you
, That
every
idle
word
that
men
shall speak
, they shall give
account
thereof
in
the day
of judgment
.
For by
thy
words
thou shalt be justified
, and
by
thy
words
thou shalt be condemned
.
Then certain
of the scribes
and
of the Pharisees
answered
, saying
, Master
, we would
see
a sign
from
thee
.
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
:
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
.
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
.
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
.
When
the unclean
spirit
is gone
out of
a man
, he walketh
through
dry
places
, seeking
rest
, and
findeth
none
.
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
.
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
.
While he
yet
talked
to the people
, behold
, his mother
and
his
brethren
stood
without
, desiring
to speak
with him
.
Then one
said
unto him
, Behold
, thy
mother
and
thy
brethren
stand
without
, desiring
to speak
with thee
.
But he answered
and said
unto him that told
him
, Who
is
my
mother
? and
who
are
my
brethren
?
And he stretched forth
his
hand
toward
his
disciples
, and said
, Behold
my
mother
and
my
brethren
!
For whosoever
shall do
the will
of my
Father
which
is in
heaven
, the same
is
my
brother
, and
sister
, and
mother
.
