| 12:1 | At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat, |
| 12:2 | and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.' |
| 12:3 | And he said to them, `Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him -- |
| 12:4 | how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone? |
| 12:5 | `Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless? |
| 12:6 | and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here; |
| 12:7 | and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice -- ye had not condemned the blameless, |
| 12:8 | for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.' |
| 12:9 | And having departed thence, he went to their synagogue, |
| 12:10 | and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, `Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him. |
| 12:11 | And he said to them, `What man shall be of you, who shall have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise `it'? |
| 12:12 | How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.' |
| 12:13 | Then saith he to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand,' and he stretched `it' forth, and it was restored whole as the other. |
| 12:14 | And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him, |
| 12:15 | and Jesus having known, withdrew thence, and there followed him great multitudes, and he healed them all, |
| 12:16 | and did charge them that they might not make him manifest, |
| 12:17 | that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, |
| 12:18 | `Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare, |
| 12:19 | he shall not strive nor cry, nor shall any hear in the broad places his voice, |
| 12:20 | a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory, |
| 12:21 | and in his name shall nations hope.' |
| 12:22 | Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. |
| 12:23 | And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, `Is this the Son of David?' |
| 12:24 | but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.' |
| 12:25 | And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself, doth stand, |
| 12:26 | and if the Adversary doth cast out the Adversary, against himself he was divided, how then doth his kingdom stand? |
| 12:27 | `And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your sons -- by whom do they cast out? because of this they -- they shall be your judges. |
| 12:28 | `But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons, then come already unto you did the reign of God. |
| 12:29 | `Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to plunder his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? and then his house he will plunder. |
| 12:30 | `He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me, doth scatter. |
| 12:31 | Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. |
| 12:32 | And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming. |
| 12:33 | `Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known. |
| 12:34 | `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things -- being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak. |
| 12:35 | The good man out of the good treasure of the heart doth put forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure doth put forth evil things. |
| 12:36 | `And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment; |
| 12:37 | for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.' |
| 12:38 | Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.' |
| 12:39 | And he answering said to them, `A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet; |
| 12:40 | for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. |
| 12:41 | `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here! |
| 12:42 | `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here! |
| 12:43 | `And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not find; |
| 12:44 | then it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth; and having come, it findeth `it' unoccupied, swept, and adorned: |
| 12:45 | then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.' |
| 12:46 | And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, |
| 12:47 | and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.' |
| 12:48 | And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?' |
| 12:49 | And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! |
| 12:50 | for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.' |
| 12:1 | In that tyme went Iesus on the Sabot dayes thorow the corne and his disciples were anhogred and begane to plucke the eares of coorne and to eate. |
| 12:2 | When ye pharises sawe that they sayde vnto him: Beholde thy disciples do that which is not lawfull to do apon ye saboth daye. |
| 12:3 | He sayde vnto the: Haue ye not reed what David did whe he was anhougered and they also which were with him? |
| 12:4 | How he entred into the housse of God and ate ye halowed loves which were not lawfull for him to eate nether for the which were wt him but only for ye prestes. |
| 12:5 | Or have ye not reed in ye lawe how that ye prestes in ye temple breake the saboth daye and yet are blamlesse? |
| 12:6 | But I saye vnto you: that here is one greater then ye teple. |
| 12:7 | Wherfore yf ye had wist what this sayinge meneth: I require mercy and not sacrifice: ye wold never have condened innocetes. |
| 12:8 | For ye sonne of man is lord even of ye saboth daye. |
| 12:9 | And he departed thence and went into their synagoge: |
| 12:10 | and beholde ther was a man whiche had his hande dryed vp. And they axed him sayinge: ys it lawfull to heale apon ye saboth dayes? because they myght acuse him. |
| 12:11 | And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on ye saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out? |
| 12:12 | And how moche is a man better the a shepe? Wherfore it is lefull to do a good dede on the saboth dayes. |
| 12:13 | Then sayde he to ye ma: stretch forth thy had. And he stretched it forthe. And it was made whole agayne lyke vnto ye other. |
| 12:14 | Then ye Pharyses wet out and helde a cousell agaynst hym how they myght destroye hym. |
| 12:15 | When Iesus knewe yt he departed thece and moche people folowed him and he healed the all |
| 12:16 | and charged the that they shuld not make him knowe: |
| 12:17 | to fulfyll that which was spoden by Esay ye Prophet which sayeth. |
| 12:18 | Beholde my chylde who I have chosen my beloved in who my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete on hym and he shall shewe iudgemet to ye gentyls. |
| 12:19 | He shall not stryve he shall not crye nether shall eny man heare his voyce in ye streetes |
| 12:20 | a brosed rede shall he not breacke and flaxe that begynneth to burne he shall not queche tyll he sende forth iudgement vnto victory |
| 12:21 | and in hys name shall the gentyls truste. |
| 12:22 | Then was brought to hym one possessed with a devyll which was both blynde and domme: and he healed hym insomoch that he which was blynd and domme both spake and sawe. |
| 12:23 | And all the people were amased and sayde: Ys not this that sonne of David? |
| 12:24 | But when the Pharises hearde that they sayde: This felow dryveth ye devyls no nother wyse oute but by the helpe of Belzebub ye chefe of the devyls. |
| 12:25 | But Iesus knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the. Every kingdome devided wt in it sylfe shalbe brought to naught. Nether shall eny cite or housholde devyded agest it sylfe cotynue. |
| 12:26 | So if sata cast out sata the is he devyded agenst him sylfe. How shall then his kyngdome endure? |
| 12:27 | Also if I by ye helpe of Belzebub cast oute devyls: by whose helpe do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore they shalbe youre iudges. |
| 12:28 | But if I cast out the devyls by the sprite of God: then is the kyngdome of god come on you? |
| 12:29 | Ether how can a ma enter into a stroge manes housse and violently take awaye his goodes: excepte he fyrst binde ye stroge man and the spoyle his housse? |
| 12:30 | He that is not wt me is agaynst me. And he yt gaddereth not wt me scattereth abrode. |
| 12:31 | Wherfore I say vnto you all maner of synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeven vnto men: but the blasphemy of ye sprite shall not be forgeven vnto men. |
| 12:32 | And whoso ever speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man it shalbe forgeven him. But whosoever speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shall not be forgeven hym: no nether in this worlde nether in the worlde to come. |
| 12:33 | Ether make ye tree good and his frute good also: or els make ye tree evyll and his frute evyll also. For ye tree is knowe by his frute. |
| 12:34 | O generacio of viperes how can ye saye well whe ye youre selves are evyll? For of ye aboundace of the hert ye mouthe speaketh. |
| 12:35 | A good ma oute of ye good treasure of his hert bringeth forth good thynges. And an evyll man out of his evyll treasure bringeth forth evyll thinges. |
| 12:36 | But I say vnto you that of every ydell worde that men shall have spoken: they shall geve acountes at the daye of iudgement. |
| 12:37 | For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustifyed: and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned. |
| 12:38 | Then answered certeyne of the scribes and of the Pharises sayinge: Master we wolde fayne se a sygne of ye. |
| 12:39 | He answered and sayde to the: The evyll and advoutrous generacio seketh a signe but ther shall no signe be geve to the saue the signe of the Prophete Ionas. |
| 12:40 | For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nyghtes in the whales belly: soo shall ye sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nyghtes in ye hert of ye erth. |
| 12:41 | The men of Ninivie shall rise at the daye of iugdement with this nacion and condemne them: for they amended at ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here. |
| 12:42 | The quene of ye south shall ryse at ye daye of iudgement with this generacion and shall condemne the: for she came fro the vtmost parties of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomo is here. |
| 12:43 | When the vnclene sprite is gone out of a man he walketh throughout dry places seking reest and fyndeth none. |
| 12:44 | Then he sayeth: I will retourne ageyne into my housse fro whece I came oute. And when he is come he fyndeth the housse empty and swepte and garnisshed. |
| 12:45 | Then he goeth his waye and taketh vnto him seven other spretes worsse then himsilfe and so entre they in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the beginning. Even so shall it be with this evell nacion. |
| 12:46 | Whill he yet talked to the people: beholde his mother and his brethren stode without desyringe to speake with him. |
| 12:47 | Then one sayde vnto hym: beholde thy mother and thy brethre stonde without desiringe to speke wt the. |
| 12:48 | He answered and sayd to him that tolde hym: Who is my mother? or who are my brethren? |
| 12:49 | And he stretched forth his hond over his disciples and sayd: behold my mother and my brethren. |
| 12:50 | For whosoever dothe my fathers will which is in heve the same is my brother suster and mother. |
| 12:1 | At the same tyme wete Iesus thorow the corne vpon the Sabbath, and his disciples were hongrie, and beganne to plucke of the eares of the corne, and to eate. |
| 12:2 | When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath. |
| 12:3 | He sayde vnto them: haue ye not red what Dauid did, whan he was hongrie, & they also yt were with him? |
| 12:4 | How he entred in to the house of God, & ate the shew breds which were not laufull for him to eate, nether for the yt were with him, but onely for the prestes? |
| 12:5 | Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse? |
| 12:6 | But I saye vnto you: yt here is one greater then the temple. |
| 12:7 | But yf ye wyst what this were (I haue pleasure in mercy, and not in offeringe) ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes: |
| 12:8 | For the sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath. |
| 12:9 | And he departed thence, and wente in to their synagoge: |
| 12:10 | and beholde, there was a ma which had his hade dryed vp. And they axed him, sayenge: Is it laufull to heale, vpon the Sabbath? because they might accuse him. |
| 12:11 | But he sayde vnto the: Which of you is it, yf he had a shepe falle in to a pytte vpon the Sabbath, that wolde not take him, and lift him out? |
| 12:12 | And how moch is a man better then a shepe? Therfore it is lefull to do good vpon the Sabbath. |
| 12:13 | Then sayde he to the ma: Stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it forth: and it was whole agayne like vnto the other. |
| 12:14 | Then wente the Pharises out, and helde a councell agaynst him, how they might destroye him. |
| 12:15 | But wha Iesus knew therof, he departed thence, & moch people folowed him: and he healed them all, |
| 12:16 | and charged them, yt they shulde not make him knowne: |
| 12:17 | that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by Esay the prophet, which sayeth: |
| 12:18 | Beholde, this is my seruaunt, whom I haue chosen: and my beloued, in whom my soule delyteth: I wil put my sprete vpon hi, and he shal shewe iudgment vnto the Heithe. |
| 12:19 | He shal not stryue, ner crye, nether shal eny man heare his voyce in the stretes. |
| 12:20 | A brosed rede shal he not breake, and flax that beginneth to burne shal he not quench, tyll he sende forth iudgment vnto victory. |
| 12:21 | And in his name shal the Heithen trust. |
| 12:22 | Then was there brought vnto him one possessed (of a deuell) the which was blynde and domne, and he healed him: in so moch yt ye blynde and domne both spake and sawe. |
| 12:23 | And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this the sonne of Dauid? |
| 12:24 | But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls. |
| 12:25 | Neuertheles Iesus knew their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shalbe desolate: and euery cite or house deuyded in it self, maye not contynue. |
| 12:26 | So yf one Sathan cast out another, the is he at variaunce within him self: how maye then his kyngdome endure? |
| 12:27 | But yf I cast out deuils thorow Beelzebub, thorow whom do youre childre cast them out? Therfore shal they be youre iudges. |
| 12:28 | But yf I cast out the deuyls by the sprete of God then is the kyngdome of God come vpon you. |
| 12:29 | Or how ca a man entre in to a stronge mans house, and violently take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge ma, & the spoyle his house? |
| 12:30 | He that is not wt me, is agaynst me: & he yt gathereth not wt me, scatereth abrode. |
| 12:31 | Therfore I saye vnto you: All synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete shal not be forgeuen vnto men: |
| 12:32 | And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeue him. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shal not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, ner in the worlde to come. |
| 12:33 | Either make the tre good and his frute good also, or els make the tre euel & his frute euel also. For the tre is knowne by the frute. |
| 12:34 | O ye generacio of vypers, how can ye speake good, whan ye youre selues are euell? For of ye abundace of ye hert ye mouth speaketh. |
| 12:35 | A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges. |
| 12:36 | But I saye vnto you, that of euery ydell worde that me haue spoken, they shal geue accomptes at ye daye of iudgmet. |
| 12:37 | Out of thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, & out of thy wordes thou shalt be codemned. |
| 12:38 | Then answered certayne of the scrybes and Pharises, and sayde: Master, we wolde fayne se a toke of the. |
| 12:39 | And he answered and saide vnto the: This euell and aduouterous generacion seketh a token: and there shal no token be geuen the, but the token of the prophete Ionas. |
| 12:40 | For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the Whalles bely, so shal the sonne of ma be thre dayes and thre nightes in the hert of the earth. |
| 12:41 | The men of Ninyue shal ryse in the last iudgment with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for they dyd penaunce acordinge to ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde, here is one greater the Ionas. |
| 12:42 | The quene of the south shal aryse in the last iudgmet with this generacion, and shal condene it: for she came from the vttemost partes of the earth, to heare ye wyssdome of Salomon: And lo, here is one greater then Salomon. |
| 12:43 | Whan the vncleane sprete is gone out of man, he walketh thorow dry places, sekinge rest, & fyndeth none. |
| 12:44 | The saieth he: I wil turne agayne in to my house, fro whence I wete out. And whan he cometh, he fyndeth it emptye, swepte and garnyshed. |
| 12:45 | Then goeth he his waye, & taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him self: and whan they are entred in, they dwell there: And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge. Euen so shal it go wt this euell generacion. |
| 12:46 | Whyle he yet talked vnto the people, beholde, his mother & his brethre stode without desyringe to speake wt him. |
| 12:47 | Then sayde one vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stonde without, & wolde speake wt the. |
| 12:48 | Neuertheles he answered & sayde vnto him that tolde him: Who is my mother? & who are my brethren? |
| 12:49 | And he stretched forth his hande ouer his disciples, & sayde: Beholde my mother and my brethre. |
| 12:50 | For who soeuer doth ye wyll of my father which is in heaue, the same is my brother, sister and mother. |
