15

And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him and he healed them all,

16

and charged them that they should not make him known:

17

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18

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 declare judgment to the Gentiles.

19

He shall not strive, nor cry aloud Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.

20

A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21

And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.

22

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.

23

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?

24

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

25

And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26

and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself how then shall his kingdom stand?

27

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

28

But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

29

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man,] and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house.

30

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

31

Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

32

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.

33

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.

34

Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35

The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36

And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
