1.At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2.But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3.But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4.How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5.Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6.But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
7.But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Hos 6:6
8.For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9.And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10.And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11.And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12.How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13.Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14.Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15.But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16.And charged them that they should not make him known:
17.That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18.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 shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. Isa 42:1
19.He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. Isa 42:2
20.A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. Isa 42:3
21.And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Isa 11:10
22.Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23.And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24.But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25.And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26.And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27.And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28.But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29.Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30.He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31.Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32.And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33.Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34.O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35.A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36.But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37.For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38.Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39.But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40.For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Jonah 1:17
41.The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42.The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43.When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44.Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45.Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46.While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47.Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48.But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49.And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50.For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Chapter 12 Explains what the sabbath day is about. It is a day of rest. Most of the time Jesus and deciples went into the gardens and got the vegetables and other house chores were done as well. Casting out any dark spirits was done then also. Always reminded of how it was important to focus on things that did not lead to corruption.
A special message
I would like to discuss since Matthew Chapter 12 goes over this subject. That is that the old covenant before Jesus came was written primarily by Moses, and Moses’s laws, although they were done by our heavenly father with Moses, were very strict to follow. All of them, so it was impossible to follow them, and it was made that way to show us that we could not do without our heavenly father being our savior. He knew that he would have to do something to save us. The Heavenly Father then sent his only son to die on the cross and take away all of our sins and diseases and took it upon himself, so we would then spend eternity in heaven with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They then understood about Grace. So then by Jesus dying on the cross we got a lot of chances at that point. This way we could be with our heavenly father in heaven, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the light. So the old covenant things were meant to be hard so we would know we needed a savior. So when Jesus died on the cross this gave us grace and all of our sins were washed away, and disease and all. You just have to believe in Jesus. The heavenly father gave you all the ability within yourself to heal, etc. You just need to believe in Jesus, or it will not get loosed to be able to be utilized.
Bible story for Part of Matthew Chapter 12 22-30
A House Divided Cannot Stand
22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the [d]blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by [e]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
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. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
Note; this chapter talks about the old law covenant, not the new covenant after Jesus came and died for our sins, therefore Raynette K. Weiss Ministries does not want you to get confused between the old covenant and new covenant. Remember, the new covenant erases the old laws of the old covenant for those who beleive in Jesus and our heavenly father. It is important to read the old coveanant to get a better understanding of the new, but always remember we are in the new covenant and not the old.
Lord, we pray that our congregation understands this Chapter of Matthew 12, and can also understand verses 22-30. Also that they grow from this chapter. This is one of the unique chapters for people to understand lord, and I know you can get it through to them by your word and speaking to them. We just pray that you do get it through to them, in Jesus’s name Amen.
