1 At that time, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went on the Sabbath day through the corn. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when The Separate (Pharisees) saw it, they said to him: Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day.
3 But He said to them: Have you not read what Beloved (David) did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God and ate the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have you not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say to you: That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7 But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.
9 When He departed from there, He went into their synagogue:
10 There was a man whose hand had withered. And they asked Him: Is it lawful to heal on Sabbath days? That they might accuse him.
11 He answered them: What man shall there be among you, that has a sheep fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, who will not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do well on Sabbath days.
13 Then He said to the man: Stretch forth your hand. So, he stretched it forth and it was restored whole, like the other.
14 Then The Separate (Pharisees) went out, and held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him.
15 But when I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) knew it, He withdrew Himself from there: and great multitudes 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 by Yahweh’s Help (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 on Him, and He shall show judgment to the Gentiles (foreigners).
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He sends forth judgment to victory.
21 And in His name the Gentiles (foreigners) will trust.
22 Then one possessed with a devil was brought to Him, blind, and dumb: and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said: Is this not the Son of Beloved (David)?
24 But when The Separate (Pharisees) heard it, they said: This fellow casts out devils but by Lord of the House (Beelzebub) the prince of the devils!
25 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) knew their thoughts and said to them: every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 So if Adversary (Satan) casts out Adversary (Satan), he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I, by Lord of the House (Beelzebub) cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
29 How can one enter a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except by first binding the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
31 Therefore I say to you: All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven of men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven of men.
32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36 But I say to you: For every idle word that men speak; they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and The Separate (Pharisees) answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from You.
39 But He answered and said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Dove (Jonah):
40 For as Dove (Jonah) was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Offspring of Ease (Nineveh) shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Dove (Jonah); and, behold, a greater than Dove (Jonah) is here.
42 The Queen of the South shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Peace (Solomon); and, behold, a greater than Peace (Solomon) is here.
43 When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
44 Then he says: I will return into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
46 While He was talking to the people, his mother and his brothers stood outside, desiring to speak with Him.
47 Then someone said to Him: Your mother and Your brothers are waiting outside, desiring to speak with You.
48 But He answered and said to the person who told Him: Who is My mother? and who are My brothers?
49 Then He stretched forth His hand toward his disciples, and said: Behold My mother and My brothers!
50 For whoever does the will
of My Father who is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.
