nkjv@Matthew:12:25 @ 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.
nkjv@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
nkjv@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
nkjv@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

nkjv@Matthew:12:33 @ "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.
nkjv@Matthew:12:34 @ Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
nkjv@Matthew:12:35 @ 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.
nkjv@Matthew:12:36 @ But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
nkjv@Matthew:12:37 @ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
nkjv@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."
nkjv@Matthew:12:39 @ 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.
nkjv@Matthew:12:40 @ 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.

nkjv@Matthew:12:46 @ While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
nkjv@Matthew:12:47 @ Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."
nkjv@Matthew:12:48 @ But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"
