Евангелие от Матфея, глава 12,16 (Мф. 12,16) на английском (nkjv) языке - Новый Завет

Then He said to them, «What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.»

Then He said to the man, «Stretch out your hand.» And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

Yet He warned them not to make Him known,

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

«Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.

He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory;

And in His name Gentiles will trust.»

Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

And all the multitudes were amazed and said, «Could this be the Son of David?»

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, «This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.»

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: «Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Or how can one enter a strong mańs house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

«Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

Anyone who 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, either in this age or in the age to come.

«Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.»

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, «Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.»

But He answered and said to them, «An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

«When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

Then he says, «I will return to my house from which I came.́ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.»

While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

Then one said to Him, «Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.»

But He answered and said to the one who told Him, «Who is My mother and who are My brothers?»

And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, «Here are My mother and My brothers!

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.»

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

He answered and said to them, «When it is evening you say, «It will be fair weather, for the sky is red́;

and in the morning, «It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.́ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.» And He left them and departed.

Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

Then Jesus said to them, «Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.»

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, «It is because we have taken no bread.»

But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, «O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?

Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?

How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?--but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.»

Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, «Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?»

So they said, «Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.»

He said to them, «But who do you say that I am?»

Simon Peter answered and said, «You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.»

Jesus answered and said to him, «Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.»

Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, «Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!»

But He turned and said to Peter, «Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.»

Then Jesus said to His disciples, «If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.»
