Mateus 12

1Naquele tempo Jesus estava indo pelas plantações de cereais no sábado. Seus discípulos tinham fome, e começaram a arrancar espigas e a comer. 2Quando os fariseus viram, disseram-lhe: Eis que os teus discípulos fazem o que não é lícito fazer no sábado. 3Ele, porém, lhes disse: Não lestes o que Davi fez quando teve fome, ele e os que com ele estavam, 4Como ele entrou na casa de Deus, e comeram os pães da proposição, que a ele não era lícito comer, nem também aos que com ele estavam, a não ser somente aos sacerdotes? 5Ou não lestes na Lei que, nos sábados, os sacerdotes no Templo profanam o sábado, sem se tornarem culpados? 6Eu, porém, vos digo que o maior que o Templo está aqui. 7Mas se vós soubésseis o que significa: “Quero misericórdia, e não sacrifício”, não condenaríeis os inocentes. 8Porque o Filho do homem é Senhor do sábado. 9E partindo dali, Jesus entrou na sinagoga deles. 10E eis que havia ali um homem que tinha uma mão definhada; e eles, a fim de o acusarem, perguntaram-lhe: É lícito curar nos sábados? 11E ele lhes respondeu: Qual de vós será a pessoa que, caso tenha uma ovelha, e se a tal cair em uma cova no sábado, não usará de sua força para a levantar? 12Ora, quanto mais vale um ser humano que uma ovelha! Assim, pois, é lícito fazer o bem nos sábados. 13Então disse para aquele homem: Estende a tua mão.E ele a estendeu, e foi-lhe restaurada, sã como a outra. 14Então os fariseus saíram e se reuniram para planejar contra ele, como o matariam. 15Mas Jesus, sabendo disso, retirou-se dali. Muitos o seguiram, e ele curou todos. 16E ele lhes ordenava que não o tornassem conhecido; 17Para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías: 18Eis aqui meu servo a quem escolhi, meu amado em quem minha alma se agrada; sobre ele porei o meu Espírito, e ele anunciará justiça às nações. 19Ele não fará brigas, nem gritará; ninguém ouvirá sua voz pelas ruas. 20A cana esmagada ele não despedaçará, o pavio que fumega ele não apagará, até que conduza a justiça à vitória. 21E em seu nome as nações esperarão. 22Então lhe trouxeram um endemoninhado cego e mudo; e ele o curou de tal maneira que o mudo passou a falar e a ver. 23E todas as multidões se admiravam e diziam: Não é este o Filho de Davi? 24Mas quando os fariseus ouviam isso, diziam: Ele não expulsa os demônios, a não ser por Belzebu, o chefe dos demônios. 25Porém Jesus , entendendo os pensamentos deles, disse-lhes: Todo reino dividido contra si mesmo é destruído; e toda cidade ou casa dividida contra si mesma não permanecerá. 26Ora, se Satanás expulsa a Satanás, contra si mesmo está dividido; como, pois, permanecerá o seu reino? 27E se eu expulso os demônios por Belzebu, então por quem vossos filhos os expulsam? Portanto, eles mesmos serão vossos juízes. 28Mas se eu pelo Espírito de Deus expulso os demônios, logo o Reino de Deus já chegou sobre vos. 29Ou como pode alguém entrar na casa do valente, e saquear seus bens, sem primeiro amarrar ao valente? Depois disso saqueará sua casa. 30Quem não é comigo é contra mim; e quem não ajunta comigo, espalha. 31Por isso eu vos digo: todo pecado e blasfêmia serão perdoados aos seres humanos; mas a blasfêmia contra o Espírito não será perdoada. 32E qualquer um que falar palavra contra o Filho do homem lhe será perdoado; mas qualquer um que falar contra o Espírito Santo, não lhe será perdoado, nem na era presente, nem na futura. 33Ou fazei a árvore boa, e seu fruto bom; ou fazei a árvore má, e seu fruto mau; pois pelo fruto se conhece a árvore. 34Ninhada de víboras, como podeis vós falar boas coisas, sendo maus? Pois a boca fala do que o coração tem de sobra. 35A pessoa boa tira coisas boas do bom tesouro, e a pessoa má tira coisas más do tesouro mau. 36Eu, porém, vos digo que de toda palavra imprudente que as pessoas falarem, dela prestarão contas no dia do juízo. 37Porque por tuas palavras serás justificado, e por tuas palavras serás condenado. 38Então responderam-lhe uns dos escribas e dos fariseus, dizendo: Mestre, queremos ver de ti algum sinal. 39Mas ele lhes deu a seguinte resposta: Uma geração má e adúltera pede sinal; mas não lhe será dado, exceto o sinal do profeta Jonas. 40Porque assim como Jonas esteve três dias e três noites no ventre da baleia, assim também o Filho do homem estará três dias e três noites no coração da terra. 41Os de Nínive se levantarão no Juízo com esta geração, e a condenarão; porque se arrependeram com a pregação de Jonas. E eis aqui quem é maior que Jonas. 42A rainha do sul se levantará no Juízo com esta geração, e a condenará; porque veio dos confins da terra para ouvir a sabedoria de Salomão. E eis aqui quem é maior que Salomão. 43Quando o espírito imundo sai de alguém, anda por lugares secos buscando repouso, e não o acha. 44Então diz: “Voltarei para minha casa de onde saí”. E quando chega, a encontra desocupada, varrida, e adornada. 45Então vai, e toma consigo outros sete espíritos piores que ele; eles entram, e moram ali; e a última condição de tal pessoa se torna pior que a primeira. Assim também acontecerá com esta geração má. 46Enquanto ele ainda estava falando às multidões, eis que sua mãe e seus irmãos estavam fora, querendo falar com ele. 47E alguém lhe disse: Eis que tua mãe e teus irmãos estão fora, querendo falar contigo. 48Porém ele disse em resposta ao que o avisou: Quem é minha mãe? E quem são meus irmãos? 49Então estendeu sua mão sobre seus discípulos, e disse: Eis aqui minha mãe e meus irmãos; 50Pois qualquer um que fizer a vontade do meu Pai, que está nos céus, esse é meu irmão, e irmã, e mãe.

1At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” 3But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him; 4how he entered into God’s house, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 5Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless? 6But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. 7But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 9He departed there, and went into their synagogue. 10And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they might accuse him. 11He said to them, “What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it, and lift it out? 12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.” 13Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other. 14But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him. 15Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all, 16and commanded them that they should not make him known: 17that 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 on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations. 19He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory. 21In his name, the nations will hope.” 22Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?” 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.” 25Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house. 30“He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters. 31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, 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. 34You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 35The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things. 36I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” 38Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” 39But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. 40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here. 42The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here. 43But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn’t find it. 44Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came out,’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.” 46While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him. 47One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.” 48But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 49He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! 50For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

1In dien tijd ging Jezus, op een sabbatdag, door het gezaaide, en Zijn discipelen hadden honger, en begonnen aren te plukken, en te eten. 2En de Farizeen, dat ziende, zeiden tot Hem: Zie, Uw discipelen doen, wat niet geoorloofd is te doen op den sabbat. 3Maar Hij zeide tot hen: Hebt gij niet gelezen, wat David gedaan heeft, toen hem hongerde, en hun, die met hem waren? 4Hoe hij gegaan is in het huis Gods, en de toonbroden gegeten heeft, die hem niet geoorloofd waren te eten, noch ook hun, die met hem waren, maar den priesteren alleen. 5Of hebt gij niet gelezen in de wet, dat de priesters den sabbat ontheiligen in den tempel, op de sabbatdagen, en nochtans onschuldig zijn? 6En Ik zeg u, dat Een, meerder dan de tempel, hier is. 7Doch zo gij geweten hadt, wat het zij: Ik wil barmhartigheid en niet offerande, gij zoudt de onschuldigen niet veroordeeld hebben. 8Want de Zoon des mensen is een Heere ook van den sabbat. 9En van daar voortgaande, kwam Hij in hun synagoge. 10En ziet, er was een mens, die een dorre hand had, en zij vraagden Hem, zeggende: Is het ook geoorloofd op de sabbatdagen te genezen? (opdat zij Hem mochten beschuldigen). 11En Hij zeide tot hen: Wat mens zal er zijn onder u, die een schaap heeft, en zo datzelve op een sabbatdag in een gracht valt, die hetzelve niet zal aangrijpen en uitheffen? 12Hoe veel gaat nu een mens een schaap te boven? Zo is het dan op de sabbatdagen geoorloofd wel te doen. 13Toen zeide Hij tot dien mens: Strek uw hand uit; en hij strekte ze uit, en zij werd hersteld, gezond gelijk de andere. 14En de Farizeen, uitgegaan zijnde, hielden te zamen raad tegen Hem, hoe zij Hem doden mochten. 15Maar Jezus, dat wetende, vertrok van daar, en vele scharen volgden Hem, en Hij genas ze allen. 16En Hij gebood hun scherpelijk, dat zij Hem niet openbaar maken zouden; 17Opdat vervuld zou worden, hetgeen gesproken is door Jesaja, den profeet, zeggende: 18Ziet, Mijn Knecht, Welken Ik verkoren heb, Mijn Beminde, in Welken Mijn ziel een welbehagen heeft; Ik zal Mijn Geest op Hem leggen, en Hij zal het oordeel den heidenen verkondigen. 19Hij zal niet twisten, noch roepen, noch zal er iemand Zijn stem op de straten horen. 20Het gekrookte riet zal Hij niet verbreken, en het rokende lemmet zal Hij niet uitblussen, totdat Hij het oordeel zal uitbrengen tot overwinning. 21En in Zijn Naam zullen de heidenen hopen. 22Toen werd tot Hem gebracht een van den duivel bezeten, die blind en stom was; en Hij genas hem, alzo dat de blinde en stomme beide sprak en zag. 23En al de scharen ontzetten zich, en zeiden: Is niet Deze de Zoon van David? 24Maar de Farizeen, dit gehoord hebbende, zeiden: Deze werpt de duivelen niet uit, dan door Beelzebul, den overste der duivelen. 25Doch Jezus, kennende hun gedachten, zeide tot hen: Een ieder koninkrijk, dat tegen zichzelf verdeeld is, wordt verwoest; en een iedere stad, of huis, dat tegen zichzelf verdeeld is, zal niet bestaan. 26En indien de satan den satan uitwerpt, zo is hij tegen zichzelf verdeeld; hoe zal dan zijn rijk bestaan? 27En indien Ik door Beelzebul de duivelen uitwerp, door wien werpen ze dan uw zonen uit? Daarom zullen die uw rechters zijn. 28Maar indien Ik door den Geest Gods de duivelen uitwerp, zo is dan het Koninkrijk Gods tot u gekomen. 29Of hoe kan iemand in het huis eens sterken inkomen, en zijn vaten ontroven, tenzij dat hij eerst den sterke gebonden hebbe? en alsdan zal hij zijn huis beroven. 30Wie met Mij niet is, die is tegen Mij; en wie met Mij niet vergadert, die verstrooit. 31Daarom zeg Ik u: Alle zonde en lastering zal den mensen vergeven worden; maar de lastering tegen den Geest zal den mensen niet vergeven worden. 32En zo wie enig woord gesproken zal hebben tegen den Zoon des mensen, het zal hem vergeven worden; maar zo wie tegen den Heiligen Geest zal gesproken hebben, het zal hem niet vergeven worden, noch in deze eeuw, noch in de toekomende. 33Of maakt den boom goed en zijn vrucht goed; of maakt den boom kwaad en zijn vrucht kwaad; want uit de vrucht wordt de boom gekend. 34Gij adderengebroedsels! hoe kunt gij goede dingen spreken, daar gij boos zijt? want uit den overvloed des harten spreekt de mond. 35De goede mens brengt goede dingen voort uit den goede schat des harten, en de boze mens brengt boze dingen voort uit den boze schat. 36Maar Ik zeg u, dat van elk ijdel woord, hetwelk de mensen zullen gesproken hebben, zij van hetzelve zullen rekenschap geven in den dag des oordeels. 37Want uit uw woorden zult gij gerechtvaardigd worden, en uit uw woorden zult gij veroordeeld worden. 38Toen antwoordden sommigen der Schriftgeleerden en Farizeen, zeggende: Meester! wij willen van U wel een teken zien. 39Maar Hij antwoordde en zeide tot hen: Het boos en overspelig geslacht verzoekt een teken; en hun zal geen teken gegeven worden, dan het teken van Jonas, den profeet. 40Want gelijk Jonas drie dagen en drie nachten was in den buik van den walvis, alzo zal de Zoon des mensen drie dagen en drie nachten wezen in het hart der aarde. 41De mannen van Nineve zullen opstaan in het oordeel met dit geslacht, en zullen hetzelve veroordelen; want zij hebben zich bekeerd op de prediking van Jonas; en ziet, meer dan Jonas is hier! 42De koningin van het zuiden zal opstaan in het oordeel met dit geslacht, en hetzelve veroordelen; want zij is gekomen van de einden der aarde, om te horen, de wijsheid van Salomo; en ziet, meer dan Salomo is hier! 43En wanneer de onreine geest van den mens uitgegaan is, zo gaat hij door dorre plaatsen, zoekende rust, en vindt ze niet. 44Dan zegt hij: Ik zal wederkeren in mijn huis, van waar ik uitgegaan ben; en komende, vindt hij het ledig, met bezemen gekeerd en versierd. 45Dan gaat hij heen en neemt met zich zeven andere geesten, bozer dan hijzelf, en ingegaan zijnde, wonen zij aldaar; en het laatste van denzelven mens wordt erger dan het eerste. Alzo zal het ook met dit boos geslacht zijn. 46En als Hij nog tot de scharen sprak, ziet, Zijn moeder en broeders stonden buiten, zoekende Hem te spreken. 47En iemand zeide tot Hem: Zie, Uw moeder en Uw broeders staan daar buiten, zoekende U te spreken. 48Maar Hij, antwoordende, zeide tot dengene die Hem dat zeide: Wie is Mijn moeder, en wie zijn Mijn broeders? 49En Zijn hand uitstrekkende over Zijn discipelen, zeide Hij: Ziet, Mijn moeder en Mijn broeders. 50Want zo wie den wil Mijns Vaders doet Die in de hemelen is, dezelve is Mijn broeder, en zuster, en moeder.
