'At1that2time4Jesus7went5through10the11grainfields12on the8Sabbath.9His16disciples15were hungry,17and18they began19to pluck20heads of grain21and22to eat.23 But2when4the1Pharisees3saw4it,they said5to him,6“Look,7your10disciples9are doing11what12is14not13lawful14to do15on16the Sabbath.”17 He1said3to them,4“Have you6not5read6what7David9did8when10he15was hungry,11and12those13who werewith14him:15 how1he entered2the4house5of God7and8ate13the9bread10of the11Presence,12which14it was17not15lawful16for him18to eat19nor20for those21who werewith22him,23but2425only28for the26priests?27 Or1have you3not2read3in4the5Law6how7on the8Sabbath9the10priests11in12the13temple14profane17the15Sabbath16and18are20guiltless?19 I tell1you,3somethinggreater than7the5temple6is8here.9 And2if1you had known3what4this means,5‘I desire7mercy,6and8not9sacrifice,’10you13would12not11have condemned13the14guiltless.15 For2the6Son7of Man9is3lord1of the4Sabbath.”5 He1went on2from there3andentered45their8synagogue.7 And1a man3was therewith5a withered6hand.4And7they asked8him,9“Is it lawful1112to heal15on the13Sabbath?”14— so that16they might accuse17him.18 He1said3to them,4“Which5[one]9of7you8who10has11a13sheep,12if15it17falls16into20a pit21on the18Sabbath,19will23not22take hold of23it24and14lift [it] out?26 Of how much1more value is3a man4than3a sheep!5So6it is lawful7to do11good10on the8Sabbath.”9 Then1he said2to the3man,4“Stretch out5your6hand.”8And9the man stretched [it] out,10and11it was restored,12healthy13like14the15other.16 But2the3Pharisees4went out1andconspired56against7him,8how9to destroy11him.10 Jesus,3aware4of this,withdrew from5there.6And7many11followed8him,9and12he healed13them14all15 and1ordered2them3not5to make48him7known.6 This was to fulfill2what was spoken34by5the7prophet8Isaiah:6 “Behold,1my4servant3whom5I have chosen,6my9beloved8with10whom11my15soul14is well pleased.12I will put16my19Spirit18upon20him,21and22he will proclaim26justice23to the24Gentiles.25 He will2not1quarrel2or3cry aloud,4nor5will6anyone7hear6his13voice12in8the9streets;10 a bruised2reed1he will4not3break,4and5a smoldering7wick6he will9not8quench,9until10he brings12justice16to13victory;14 and1inhis4name3the Gentiles5will hope.”6 Then1a demon-oppressed man4who wasblind5and6mute7was brought2to him,3and8he healed9him,10so that11the12[man]13spoke14and15saw.16 And1all3the4people5were amazed,2and6said,7“Can this89be10the11Son12of David?”13 But2when4the1Pharisees3heard4it,they said,5“It isonly1112by13Beelzebul,15the17prince16of demons,18thatthis man6casts out8demons.”10 Knowing1their5thoughts,4he said6to them,7“Every8kingdom9divided10against11itself12is laid waste,13and14no22city16or17house18divided19against20itself21will stand.23 And1if2Satan4casts out7Satan,6he is divided10against8himself.9How11then12will13his16kingdom15stand?13 And1if2I3cast out6demons8by4Beelzebul,5by12whom13doyour11sons10cast [them] out?14Therefore1516they17will be19your20judges.18 But2if1it isby3the Spirit4of God5thatI6cast out7demons,9then10the14kingdom15of God17has come11upon12you.13 Or1how2can3someone4enter5a7strong [man]’s10house8and11plunder15his14goods,13unless1617he19first18binds19the20strong man?21Then23indeedhe may plunder27his26house.25 Whoever is13not2with4me5is8against6me,7and9whoever does1012not11gather12with13me14scatters.15 Therefore12I tell3you,4every5sin6and7blasphemy8will be forgiven9people,11but13the12blasphemy16[against] the14Spirit15will18not17be forgiven.18 And1whoever23speaks4a word5against6the7Son8of Man10will be forgiven,11but14whoever1315speaks16against17the18Holy21Spirit19will23not22be forgiven,23either25in26this27age29or30in31the32[age] to come.33 Either1make2the3tree4good5and6its9fruit8good,10or11make12the13tree14bad15and16its19fruit18bad,20for22the25tree26is known27by21itsfruit.24 You brood1of vipers!2How3can4youspeak6good,5when you are8evil?7For10out of9the11abundance12of the13heart14the15mouth16speaks.17 The1good2person3out of4hisgood6treasure7brings forth8good,9and10the11evil12person13out of14hisevil16treasure17brings forth18evil.19 I tell1you,3on16the day17of judgment18people11will give12account15for13every5careless7word6they speak,9 for2by1your5words4you will be justified,6and7by8your11words10you will be condemned.”12 Then1some4of the5scribes6and7Pharisees8answered2him,3saying,9“Teacher,10we wish11to see15a sign14from12you.”13 But2he1answered3them,5“An evil7and8adulterous9generation6seeks for11a sign,10but12no14sign13will be given15to it16except1718the19sign20of the22prophet23Jonah.21 For2just as1Jonah4was3three10days11and12three13nights14in5the6belly7of the8great fish,9so15will16the17Son18of Man20be16three26days27and28three29nights30in21the22heart23of the24earth.25 The men1of Nineveh2will rise up3at4the5judgment6with7this10generation9and11condemn12it,13for14they repented15at16the17preaching18of Jonah,19and20behold,21somethinggreater than22Jonah23ishere.24 The queen1of the South2will rise up3at4the5judgment6with7this10generation9and11condemn12it,13for14she came15from16the17ends18of the19earth20to hear21the22wisdom23of Solomon,24and25behold,26somethinggreater than27Solomon28ishere.29 When1the3unclean4spirit5has gone out6of7a person,9it passes10through11waterless12places13seeking14rest,15but16finds18none.17 Then1it says,2‘I will return7to3my6house5from which8I came.’9And10when it comes,11it finds12[the house] empty,13swept,14and15put in order.16 Then1it goes2and3brings4with5it6seven7other8spirits9more evil than10itself,11and12they enter13anddwell14there,15and16the18last state19of that22person21is17worse than23the24first.25So26also28will it be27with this31evil33generation.”30 While3he2was3still1speaking3to the4people,5behold,6hismother8and9his12brothers11stood13outside,14asking15to speak17to him.16 Missing text1 But2he1replied3to the man5who told6him,7“Who8is9my12mother,11and13who14are15my18brothers?”17 And1stretching out2his5hand4toward6his9disciples,8he said,10“[Here are]11my14mother13and15my18brothers!17 For2whoever13does4the5will6of8my9Father5in11heaven12is20my14brother15and16sister17and18mother.”19
