CHAP. XII.
1 Christ reprooueth the blindnesse of the Pharisees concerning the breach of the Sabbath, 3 by Scriptures, 9 by reason, 13 and by a miracle. 22 He healeth the man possessed that was blind, and dumbe. 31 Blasphemie against the holy Ghost shall neuer be forgiuen. 36 Account shalbe made of idle words. 38 He rebuketh the vnfaithfull, who seeke after a signe: 49 and sheweth who is his brothe, sister, and mother.
1 At that time, Iesus went on the Sabbath day thorow the corne, & his Disciples were an hungred, and beganne to pluck the eares of corne, and to eate.1
3 But he said vnto them, Haue yee not read what Dauid did when hee was an hungred, and they that were with him,3
4 How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shew bread, which was not lawfull for him to eate, neither for them which were with him, but, only for the Priests?4
5 Or haue yee not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath dayes the Priests in the Temple profane the Sabbath, and are blamelesse?5
6 But I saye vnto you, that in this place is one greater then the Temple.
7 But if yee had knowen what this meaneth, I will haue mercy, and not sacrifice, yee would not haue condemned the guiltlesse.7
8 For the sonne of man is Lord euen of the Sabbath day.
9 And when hee was departed thence, he went into their Synagogue.9
12 How much then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore it is lawfull to doe well on the Sabbath dayes.
14 ¶ Then the Pharises went out, and held a counsell against him, how they might destroy him.14
16 And charged them that they should not make him knowen:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying,
18 Behold, my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule is well pleased: I will put my spirit vpon him, and he shall shew iudgement to the Gentiles.18
19 He shall not striue, nor cry, neither shall any man heare his voice in the streets.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 ¶ Then was brought vnto him one possessed with a deuill, blinde, and dumbe: and hee healed him, insomuch that the blinde and dumbe both spake and saw.22
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is this the sonne of Dauid?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doeth not cast out deuils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the deuils.24
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is diuided against himselfe; how shall then his kingdome stand?
28 But if I cast out deuils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdome of God is come vnto you.
30 He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
31 ¶ Wherefore I say vnto you, All maner of sinne and blasphemie shall be forgiuen vnto men: but the blasphemie against the holy Ghost, shall not bee forgiuen vnto men.31
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being euil, speake good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.34
37 For by thy wordes thou shalt bee iustified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 ¶ Then certaine of the Scribes, and of the Pharisees, answered, saying, Master, we would see a signe from thee.38
40 For as Ionas was three dayes and three nights in the whales belly: so shal the sonne of man be three daies and three nights in the heart of the earth.40
41 The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it, because they repented at the preaching of Ionas, and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.41
42 The Queene of the South shall rise vp in the iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vttermost parts of the earth to heare the wisedome of Solomon, and behold, a greater then Solomon is here.42
43 When the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, hee walketh thorow dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.43
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himselfe seuen other spirits more wicked then himselfe, and they enter in and dwell there: And the last state of that man is worse then the first. Euen so shal it be also vnto this wicked generation.45
46 ¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him.46
48 But he answered, and said vnto him that told him, Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?
49 And hee stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren.
