Matthew 12:15-37: Background 12:1: Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.
Matthew 12:15-37: Background 12:1: Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 12:2: Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.
Matthew 12:15-37: Background 12:1: Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 12:2: Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath. Ex 20:10: the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work.
Matthew 12:15-37: Background, cont. 12:9-10: Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?
Matthew 12:15-37: Background, cont. 12:9-10: Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? 12:14: But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
Matthew 12:15-37 15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 18 Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight;
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. 19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory. 21In his name the nations will put their hope.
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. Jesus and Beelzebul 22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. 23 All the people were astonished and said, Could this be the Son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said,
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons. 25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Num. 15:3031 But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native- born or foreigner, blasphemes the Lord and must be cut off from the people of Israel. Because they have despised the Lord s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.
Matthew 12:15-37, cont. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
