\subsection{\Matthew 12}
|
|
\subsubsection{Lord of the Sabbath}
|
|
\VS{1} In that opportune-time\fnKairos{} \Iesous went through [a] corn-field on the Sabbath,
|
|
and his disciples hungered, and began to be plucking the ears and eating.
|
|
\VS{2} But the Pharisees having seen [this] said to him:
|
|
Behold your disciples do that which is not allowed to be doing on the Sabbath.
|
|
\VS{3} But he said to them:
|
|
Do you not know what \David did, when he and those with him hungered?
|
|
\VS{4} How he entered into the house of God and they ate the consecrated bread,
|
|
which was not allowed for him nor those with him to eat, but only for the priests alone?
|
|
\VS{5} Or do you not know in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath
|
|
and are blameless?
|
|
\VS{6} But I say to you that here [is] something\footnote{or ``someone"} greater than [the] temple.
|
|
\VS{7} But if you knew what this is:
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
I desire mercy and not [temple] sacrifice.\fnThusia{}
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
you would not have condemned the blameless.
|
|
\VS{8} For the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} is Lord of the Sabbath.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} And proceeding on from there he came into their synagogue.
|
|
\VS{10} And behold [there was a] person having [a] shriveled hand.
|
|
And they asked him saying: Is it allowed to heal on the Sabbath? in order that they may denounce him.
|
|
\VS{11} But he said to them: What man among you, who will have one sheep,
|
|
and if this [sheep] fall into [a] pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of [it] and raise [it] out?
|
|
\VS{12} Therefore [a] man is worth much more than [a] sheep.
|
|
Therefore it is allowed on the Sabbath to do good.
|
|
\VS{13} Then he says to the man: Be stretching forth your hand.
|
|
And he stretched it out, and it was restored healthy like the other.
|
|
\VS{14} But when they came out the Pharisees took council against him how they may destroy him.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{God's Special Servant}
|
|
\VS{15} But \Iesous having known [this] went out from there.
|
|
And many followed him, and he healed them all,
|
|
\VS{16} and he commanded them that they not make him known,
|
|
\VS{17} in order that what was said by \Isaiah the prophet be fulfilled when he says\footnote{Isa.42:1-4}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{18} Behold my son whom I chose \\
|
|
My agape-beloved who pleases my psyche-life\fnPsyche{}\\
|
|
I will place my spirit upon him \\
|
|
And he will report judgment to the nations, \\
|
|
\VS{19} He will not strive nor cry out \\
|
|
Nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. \\
|
|
\VS{20} [A] bruised reed he will not break \\
|
|
And [a] smoking cord he will not put out \\
|
|
Until judgment be cast out to victory \\
|
|
\VS{21} And the nations hope in his name.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous and \Beelzebul}
|
|
\VS{22} Then there was brought to him [a] blind and mute demon-possessed.
|
|
And he healed him, so that the mute [one is] speaking and seeing.
|
|
\VS{23} And all the crowd was astonished and was saying:
|
|
Is not this [one] the son of \David?
|
|
\VS{24} But the Pharisees having heard [this] said:
|
|
This [one] does not cast out demons except by \\Beelzebul the ruler of demons.
|
|
\VS{25} But knowing their thoughts he said to them:
|
|
Every kingdom divided against itself becomes [a] wasteland,
|
|
and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
|
|
\VS{26} And if \Satan casts out \Satan, he has divided against himself.
|
|
How therefore will his kingdom stand?
|
|
\VS{27} And if I cast out demons by \Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast out demons?
|
|
Because of this they will be your judges.
|
|
\VS{28} But if I cast out demons by the spirit of God,
|
|
then the Kingdom of God has overtaken you.
|
|
\VS{29} Or how is anyone able to enter into the house of the strong man and carry off his goods
|
|
unless the strong man first be bound?
|
|
And then he will plunder his house.
|
|
\VS{30} The [one] not being with me is against me,
|
|
and the [one] not gathering with me scatters.
|
|
\VS{31} Because of this I say to you,
|
|
every sin and slander will be forgiven men, but the slander of the Spirit will not be forgiven.
|
|
\VS{32} And whoever should say [a] word\fnLogos{} against the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{},
|
|
it will be forgiven him.
|
|
But whoever should say [a word] against the Holy Spirit,
|
|
it will not be forgiven him neither in this age nor in the one to come.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Trees and their Fruit}
|
|
\VS{33} You will either make the tree good and its fruit good,
|
|
or you will make the tree and its fruit rotten.
|
|
\VS{34} Generation of vipers, how can you speak good, [You] being wicked\fnPoneros{}?
|
|
For the mouth speaks out of the fullness of the heart.
|
|
\VS{35} The good man out of his good treasure brings forth [the] good,
|
|
and the wicked\fnPoneros{} man out of his wicked\fnPoneros{} treasure brings forth [the] wicked\fnPoneros{}.
|
|
\VS{36} But I say to you that every idle word\fnRema{} that men will speak,
|
|
they will require from him [a] word\fnLogos{} in the day of judgment.
|
|
\VS{37} For by your words\fnLogos{} you will be justified,
|
|
and by your words\fnLogos{} you will be condemned.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Sign of \Iona}
|
|
\VS{38} Then some of the scribes and Pharisees distinguished themselves to him saying:
|
|
O teacher, we desire from you to see [a] sign.
|
|
\VS{39} But answering them he said to them:
|
|
[A] wicked\fnPoneros{} and adulterous generation seeks [a] sign,
|
|
and [a] sign will not be given to [it] except the sign of \Iona the prophet.
|
|
\VS{40} For just as \Iona was in the belly of the whale\footnote{or ``big fish," ``sea
|
|
monster"} three days and three nights,
|
|
thus will the Son of Humanity be in the heart of the earth\fnGe{} three days and three nights.
|
|
\VS{41} The men\fnAner{} of \Ninevah will rise up in the judgment against this generation
|
|
and will bring judgment against it,
|
|
because they new-minded [themselves]\fnMetanoia{} in the proclamation of \Iona,
|
|
and behold here [is] [one] greater than \Iona.
|
|
\VS{42} [The] queen of [the] south will rise in the judgment against this generation
|
|
and will bring judgment against it,
|
|
because she came from the other side of the land to hear the wisdom of \Solomon,
|
|
and behold here [is] [one] greater than \Solomon.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Return of the Unclean Spirit}
|
|
\VS{43} But whenever the unclean spirit goes out from the person,
|
|
it passes through dry regions seeking rest, and it does not find [it].
|
|
\VS{44} Then he says:
|
|
I will return to my house from where I came,
|
|
and having come he finds it vacated and swept and set in order.
|
|
\VS{45} Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more wicked\fnPoneros{} than himself,
|
|
and having entered in they set up house there.
|
|
And the latter state of that person is worse than the first.
|
|
Thus it will also be for this wicked\fnPoneros{} generation.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous's True Family}
|
|
\VS{46} While he was speaking to the crowd,
|
|
behold his mother and brothers had stood out seeking to speak to him.
|
|
\VS{47} \footnote{Include vs. 47: DW\koine{} \vulgate{}; omit vs 47: \sinaiticus{}B}
|
|
And someone said to him: Behold your mother and brothers have stood out seeking to speak to you.
|
|
\VS{48} But he answered to the [one] telling him:
|
|
Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?
|
|
\VS{49} And having stretched out his hand over his disciples he said:
|
|
Behold my mother and my brothers.
|
|
\VS{50} For whoever does the will of my father in the heavens,
|
|
he himself is my brother and my sister and my mother.
|
