wmth - Matthew:12:22-32

wmth@Matthew:12:22 @ At that time a demoniac was brought to Him, blind and dumb; and He cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.

wmth@Matthew:12:23 @ And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, »Can this be the Son of David?«

wmth@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees heard it and said, »This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons.«

wmth@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts He said to them, »Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.

wmth@Matthew:12:26 @ And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?

wmth@Matthew:12:27 @ And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Matthew:12:28 @ But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

wmth@Matthew:12:29 @ Again, how can any one enter the house of a strong man and carry off his goods, unless first of all he masters and secures the strong man: then he will ransack his house.

wmth@Matthew:12:30 @ »The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.

wmth@Matthew:12:31 @ This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.

wmth@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness.«
