vCNT
1 At that time Yahshua had gone through the planted fields on the Sabbaths, and His students hungered and began to pluck and to eat the grain.
2 Then the Pharisees seeing it said to Him: "Look! Your students do that which is not lawful to do on a Sabbath!"
3 And He said to them: "Have you not read what David did when he and those with him had hungered,
4 how he entered into the house of Yahweh and they ate the bread of presentation, which was not lawful for him nor for those with him to eat, except only for the priests?
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple profaned the Sabbath, yet they are guiltless?
6 Now I say to you that a greater than the temple is here!
7 But if you had known why it is 'Mercy I desire and not sacrifice', you would not have condemned the guiltless!
8 For the Son of Man is Prince of the Sabbath!"
9 And passing over from there He came into their assembly hall.
10 And behold, a man having a withered hand. And they questioned Him, saying: "So is it lawful to heal on the Sabbaths?", that they may accuse Him.
11 But he said to them: "What man shall there be from among you who shall have one sheep and if this should fall into a pit on the Sabbath he would not take hold of and raise it?
12 So how much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath!"
13 Then He says to the man: "Extend your hand!" And he extended it and it had been restored to health as the other.
14 Then departing the Pharisees took counsel against Him, how they could kill Him.
15 But knowing it Yahshua withdrew from there, and many followed Him, and He healed them all.
16 And He admonished them that they should not make Him manifest,
17 in order that that which was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, saying:
18 "Behold, My Son whom I have chosen, My beloved who has pleased My soul, I shall set My Spirit upon Him, and He shall announce judgment to the Nations.
19 He shall neither quarrel nor cry out, nor shall one hear His voice in the streets.
20 A crushed reed He shall not break, and a smouldering cord He shall not quench, until He should issue judgment in victory,
21 and in His Name shall the Nations have hope."
22 Then a blind and mute man possessed by a demon had been brought to Him and He healed him, even for the mute to speak and to see.
23 And all the crowds were astonished and said "Could this man be the Son of David?"
24 And hearing, the Pharisees said "This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzeboul the ruler of demons!"
25 But knowing their reasonings He said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself is desolate and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
26 And if Satan casts out Satan, against himself he is divided. Therefore how shall his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzeboul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they shall be your judges!
28 But if by the Spirit of Yahweh I cast out demons, then the Kingdom of Yahweh has overtaken you!
29 Now how is one able to enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his equipment, if he could not first bind the strong man? And then he shall plunder his house!
30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and He not gathering with Me scatters! "
31 For this reason I say to you, every error and blasphemy shall be remitted for men, but blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be remitted.
32 And whoever should speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be remitted for him, but whoever should speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be remitted for him, neither in this age nor in that which is coming! "
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten. From of the fruit the tree is known.
34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to speak good things, being evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks!
35 The good man from out of the good treasure issues good things, and the wicked man from out of wicked treasure issues wicked things.
36 Now I say to you that every idle word which men shall speak, they shall give an account for it on the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned!"
38 Then some of the scribes and the Pharisees replied to Him, saying: "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You!"
39 But replying He said to them: "A wicked and adulterous race seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Ionah the prophet.
40 For as Ionah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, thusly shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this race and they shall condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Ionah, and behold: a greater than Ionah is here!
42 The queen of the south shall be raised in the judgment with this race and shall condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold: a greater than Solomon is here! "
43 Now when the unclean spirit departs from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finds it not.
44 Then it says 'I shall return to my house from where I departed', and coming finds it vacant, swept clean and ornamented.
45 Then it goes and takes to itself seven other spirits more wicked than itself and entering in dwells there. And the ends of that man become worse than the beginnings! Thusly shall it be also with this wicked race!"
46 While He yet spoke to the crowds, behold, His mother and brethren stood outside seeking to speak with Him.
47 And someone said to Him: "Behold, Your mother and Your brethren stand outside seeking to speak with You!"
48 But replying He said to him speaking: "Who is My mother and who are My brethren?"
49 And extending His hand over His students He said: "Behold My mother and My brethren!
50 For he who would do the will of My Father who is in the heavens, he is My brother and sister and mother!"
