Icelandic Bible
12 Um þessar mundir fór Jesús um sáðlönd á hvíldardegi. Lærisveinar hans kenndu hungurs og tóku að tína kornöx og eta.
2 Þegar farísear sáu það, sögðu þeir við hann: "Lít á, lærisveinar þínir gjöra það, sem ekki er leyft að gjöra á hvíldardegi."
3 Hann svaraði þeim: "Hafið þér eigi lesið, hvað Davíð gjörði, þegar hann hungraði og menn hans?
4 Hann fór inn í Guðs hús, og þeir átu skoðunarbrauðin, sem hvorki hann né menn hans og engir nema prestarnir máttu eta.
5 Eða hafið þér ekki lesið í lögmálinu, að prestar vanhelga hvíldardaginn í musterinu á hvíldardögum, og eru þó án saka?
6 En ég segi yður: Hér er meira en musterið.
7 Ef þér hefðuð skilið, hvað felst í orðunum: ,Miskunnsemi vil ég, ekki fórnir,` munduð þér ekki hafa sakfellt saklausa menn.
8 Því að Mannssonurinn er herra hvíldardagsins."
9 Hann fór þaðan og kom í samkundu þeirra.
10 Þar var maður með visna hönd. Og þeir spurðu Jesú: "Er leyfilegt að lækna á hvíldardegi?" Þeir hugðust kæra hann.
11 Hann svarar þeim: "Nú á einhver yðar eina sauðkind, og hún fellur í gryfju á hvíldardegi. Mundi hann ekki taka hana og draga upp úr?
12 Hve miklu er þó maðurinn sauðkindinni fremri! Það er því leyfilegt að gjöra góðverk á hvíldardegi."
13 Síðan segir hann við manninn: "Réttu fram hönd þína." Hann rétti fram höndina, og hún varð heil sem hin.
14 Þá gengu farísearnir út og tóku saman ráð sín gegn honum, hvernig þeir gætu náð lífi hans.
15 Þegar Jesús varð þess vís, fór hann þaðan. Margir fylgdu honum, og alla læknaði hann.
16 En hann lagði ríkt á við þá, að þeir gjörðu hann eigi kunnan.
17 Þannig rættist það, sem sagt er fyrir munn Jesaja spámanns:
18 Sjá þjón minn, sem ég hef útvalið, minn elskaða, sem sál mín hefur þóknun á. Ég mun láta anda minn koma yfir hann, og hann mun boða þjóðunum rétt.
19 Eigi mun hann þrátta né hrópa, og eigi mun raust hans heyrast á strætum.
20 Brákaðan reyr brýtur hann ekki, og rjúkandi hörkveik mun hann ekki slökkva, uns hann hefur leitt réttinn til sigurs.
21 Á nafn hans munu þjóðirnar vona.
22 Þá var færður til hans maður haldinn illum anda, blindur og mállaus. Hann læknaði hann, svo að hinn dumbi gat talað og séð.
23 Allt fólkið varð furðu lostið og sagði: "Hann er þó ekki sonur Davíðs?"
24 Þegar farísear heyrðu það, sögðu þeir: "Þessi rekur ekki út illa anda nema með fulltingi Beelsebúls, höfðingja illra anda."
25 En Jesús vissi hugsanir þeirra og sagði við þá: "Hvert það ríki, sem er sjálfu sér sundurþykkt, leggst í auðn, og hver sú borg eða heimili, sem er sjálfu sér sundurþykkt, fær ekki staðist.
26 Ef Satan rekur Satan út, er hann sjálfum sér sundurþykkur. Hvernig fær ríki hans þá staðist?
27 Og ef ég rek illu andana út með fulltingi Beelsebúls, með hverju reka þá yðar menn þá út? Því skulu þeir vera dómarar yðar.
28 En ef ég rek illu andana út með Guðs anda, þá er Guðs ríki þegar yfir yður komið.
29 Eða hvernig fær nokkur brotist inn í hús hins sterka og rænt föngum hans, nema hann bindi áður hinn sterka, þá getur hann rænt hús hans.
30 Hver sem er ekki með mér, er á móti mér, og hver sem safnar ekki saman með mér, hann sundurdreifir.
31 Þess vegna segi ég yður: Hver synd og guðlöstun verður mönnum fyrirgefin, en guðlast gegn andanum verður ekki fyrirgefið.
32 Hverjum sem mælir gegn Mannssyninum, verður það fyrirgefið, en þeim sem mælir gegn heilögum anda, verður ekki fyrirgefið, hvorki í þessum heimi né í hinum komanda.
33 Annaðhvort er tréð gott og ávöxturinn góður eða tréð vont og ávöxturinn vondur. Því af ávextinum þekkist tréð.
34 Þér nöðru kyn, hvernig getið þér, sem eruð vondir, talað gott? Af gnægð hjartans mælir munnurinn.
35 Góður maður ber gott fram úr góðum sjóði, en vondur maður ber vont fram úr vondum sjóði.
36 En ég segi yður: Hvert ónytjuorð, sem menn mæla, munu þeir verða að svara fyrir á dómsdegi.
37 Því af orðum þínum muntu sýknaður, og af orðum þínum muntu sakfelldur verða."
38 Þá sögðu nokkrir fræðimenn og farísear við hann: "Meistari, vér viljum sjá þig gjöra tákn."
39 Hann svaraði þeim: "Vond og ótrú kynslóð heimtar tákn, en eigi verður henni annað tákn gefið en tákn Jónasar spámanns.
40 Jónas var í kviði stórhvelisins þrjá daga og þrjár nætur, og eins mun Mannssonurinn vera þrjá daga og þrjár nætur í skauti jarðar.
41 Nínívemenn munu koma fram í dóminum ásamt kynslóð þessari og sakfella hana, því að þeir gjörðu iðrun við prédikun Jónasar, og hér er meira en Jónas.
42 Drottning Suðurlanda mun rísa upp í dóminum ásamt þessari kynslóð og sakfella hana, því að hún kom frá endimörkum jarðar að heyra speki Salómons, og hér er meira en Salómon.
43 Þegar óhreinn andi fer út af manni, reikar hann um eyðihrjóstur og leitar hælis, en finnur ekki.
44 Þá segir hann: ,Ég vil hverfa aftur í hús mitt, þaðan sem ég fór.` Og er hann kemur og finnur það tómt, sópað og prýtt,
45 fer hann og tekur með sér sjö aðra anda sér verri, og þeir fara inn og setjast þar að, og verður svo hlutur þess manns verri eftir en áður. Eins mun fara fyrir þessari vondu kynslóð."
46 Meðan hann var enn að tala við fólkið kom móðir hans og bræður. Þau stóðu úti og vildu tala við hann.
47 Einhver sagði við hann: "Móðir þín og bræður standa hér úti og vilja tala við þig."
48 Jesús svaraði þeim, er við hann mælti: "Hver er móðir mín, og hverjir eru bræður mínir?"
49 Og hann rétti út höndina yfir lærisveina sína og sagði: "Hér er móðir mín og bræður mínir.
50 Hver sem gjörir vilja föður míns, sem er á himnum, sá er bróðir minn, systir og móðir."

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)(B)
12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain(C) and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”(D)
3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(E) 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.(F) 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath(G) and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.(H) 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a](I) you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man(J) is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus,(K) they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”(L)
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?(M) 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!(N) Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.(O)
God’s Chosen Servant
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.(P) 16 He warned them not to tell others about him.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;(S)
I will put my Spirit on him,(T)
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.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b](U)
Jesus and Beelzebul(V)
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.(W) 23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”(X)
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul,(Y) the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”(Z)
25 Jesus knew their thoughts(AA) 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(AB) drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,(AC) by whom do your people(AD) 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(AE) has come upon you.
29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(AF) 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.(AG) 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(AH) or in the age to come.(AI)
33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.(AJ) 34 You brood of vipers,(AK) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(AL) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”(AM)
The Sign of Jonah(AN)(AO)
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign(AP) from you.”(AQ)
39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(AR) 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(AS) so the Son of Man(AT) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(AU) 41 The men of Nineveh(AV) will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,(AW) and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(AX) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.(AY) That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(AZ)
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother(BA) and brothers(BB) stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven(BC) is my brother and sister and mother.”

12 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.
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.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
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.
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.
