\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 shew- 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 [a] sacrifice.\footnote{Hos.6:6}
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
you would not have condemned the blameless.
|
|
\VS{8} For the son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} And proceeding on from there he came into their synagogue.
|
|
\VS{10} And behold [there was a] man 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 \Beelzebub 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 \Beelzebub, 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 ravish 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 against
|
|
the son of man, 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\fnRHMA{} 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 man be in the
|
|
heart of the land three days and three nights.
|
|
\VS{41} The men of Ninevah
|
|
will rise up in the judgment against this generation and will bring judgment
|
|
against it, because they repented 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 man, 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 man 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 answering
|
|
he said to him saying to 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.
