012:022 Then 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. 012:023 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Can this be the son of David?" 012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons." 012:025 Knowing 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. 012:026 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 012:027 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 012:028 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you. 012:029 Or 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. 012:030 "He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn't gather with me, scatters. 012:031 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 012:032 Whoever 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. 012:033 "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. 012:034 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 012:035 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure{TR adds "of the heart"} brings out evil things. 012:036 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 012:037 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." 012:038 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you." 012:039 But 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. 012:040 For 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. 012:041 The 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. 012:042 The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment
