Matthew 12

12
1At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] passed through the standing grain on the Shabbat [rest] day, and his disciples, being hungry, began to pluck the ears and to crush them between their hands and to eat them.
2The P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] saw it and said to him: ‘Look! your disciples are doing that which is not proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular) to do on the Shabbat [rest] day’.
3Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “Have you not read what David [Beloved] did when he was hungry and his men”
4“in the house of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] when they ate from the show-bread, which is not to be eaten except by the priests alone?”
5“Also in the Torah have you not read that the priests in the temple sometimes Profane (treat as common; defile) the Shabbat [rest] and are without sin?”
6“Truly I say to you that This Temple is greater”.
7“If you had known what this means: ‘I desire kindness and not sacrifice’ you would not have convicted the innocent”
8“For the Son of Man is Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] of the Shabbat [rest]”.
9It came to pass at the end of those days that Yeshua [God is Salvation] passed on from there and entered into their Synagogue.
10A man was there with a withered hand: so they asked him saying: ‘Is it permissible to heal him on the Shabbat [rest]?’
11He said to them: “Who among you has a sheep that falls into a pit on the Shabbat [rest] day and does not raise it up?”
12“So much the more precious is a man than that. Therefore it is permissible for man to be made well on the Shabbat [rest]
13Then he said to the man: “Stretch out your hand”. He stretched it out and it was restored like the other.
14Then the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] took counsel and plotted to put him to death.
15It came to pass after this that Yeshua [God is Salvation] knew it; so he turned aside from there. Many sick followed him and he healed all of them.
16He commanded them saying not to reveal him
17in order to fulfill what was spoken by Yesha’yahu [the salvation of our God] the Prophet:
18“Behold My slave whom I uphold, My Chosen One in whom my soul is delighted: I have put My Ruach [Spirit [Ruach]] upon him, and he will declare justice to the nations.
19“He will not cry out nor lift up nor cause his voice to be heard in the street”.
20“A crushed reed he will not break and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will establish justice according to the truth; he will not fail or be discouraged until he establishes justice in the earth”
21“and the Goyim [Gentiles] shall wait for his teaching”
22Then there was brought to him a blind and dumb man who was demon possessed; he healed him. The crowds saw
23and were amazed and said: ‘Is this not the Son of David [Beloved]’?
24The P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] were quick to hear and said: ‘This one does not cast out demons except by Ba’al-zevuv [Lord - Kurios of the Flies], the lord of demons’
25Yeshua [God is Salvation] knew their thoughts and said to them in a parable: “Every kingdom among you divided shall be made desolate, and also every city or house, upon which division shall fall, shall not stand”
26“If Satan [the adversary] casts out another Satan [the adversary], there will be division among them; how will his kingdom stand?
27“If I cast out demons by Ba’al-zevuv [Lord - Kurios of the Flies], why do your sons not cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges”
28“But if I cast out demons by The Ruach [Spirit [Ruach]] of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God], truly the Kingdom of heaven has come”
29“How shall a man be able to enter the house of the strong man to take his goods unless he binds him first? Then he shall plunder his house”.
30“Whoever is not with me is against me. Whoever does not join himself to me denies me”
31“Therefore I say to you that every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven the sons of men, but blasphemy of The Ruach [Spirit [Ruach]] will not be forgiven”
32“Everyone who says a word against The Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But everyone who says a word against Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit [Ruach]), it will not be forgiven him, either in this world, or in the world to come”
33“Determine the tree good because of good fruit, or the tree bad because of bad fruit; because the tis; from the fruit the tree will be known”
34“Family of vipers, how can you speak good things when you are evil?. Surely the mouth opens, the heart speaks”
35“A good man from the treasure of a good heart brings forth good; an evil man from the treasure of an evil heart brings forth evil”
36“I say to you that for all the words which a man shall speak he will be obliged to give an account on the day of judgment”.
37“According to your words you will be judged and according to your deeds you will be convicted”.
38At that time, some of the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and Torah-teachers (Scribes) came to Yeshua [God is Salvation] saying: We wish to see a sign from heaven by you.
39He said to them: “An evil and ungodly generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Yonah [dove] the Prophet.
40“For as he was in the bowels (inward parts; affections) of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the belly of the earth, buried for three days and three nights”.
41“The men of Ninevah will rise up in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because they turned in repentance at the words of Yonah [dove] and I am greater than Yonah [dove]
42“The queen of Sheba, will rise up in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold! I am greater than Solomon”
43“When the unclean Spirit [Ruach] goes out from the man, he goes through waterless places seeking rest, but does not find it”
44“Then he says: ‘I will return to my house from which I came out, and he goes and finds it empty, safe and ready”
45“Then he takes seven spirits more evil than himself, and they go with him and they dwell there, and the latter state of the man is worse than his first. Thus it will be with this evil generation”.
46While he was speaking to all the crowds, behold his mother and his brothers were standing outside seeking him to speak with him.
47A man said to him: ‘Look! your mother and your brothers are seeking to see you’
48He answered the one who spoke to him: “Who are my brothers and who is my mother?”
49He stretched out his hands to his disciples and said: “These are my mother and brothers”
50“Everyone who does the will of my Father Who is in heaven, is my brother, my sister, and my mother.”
