耶稣知道他们的意念,就对他们说,凡一国自相分争,就成为荒场,一城一家自相分争,必站立不住。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:
我若靠着别西卜赶鬼,你们的子弟赶鬼,又靠着谁呢。这样,他们就要断定你们的是非。And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
人怎能进壮士家里,抢夺他的家具呢,除非先捆住那壮士,才可以抢夺他的家财。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.
所以我告诉你们,人一切的罪,和亵渎的话,都可得赦免。惟独亵渎圣灵,总不得赦免。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.
凡说话干犯人子的,还可得赦免。惟独说话干犯圣灵的,今世来世总不得赦免。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.
你们或以为树好,果子也好。树坏,果子也坏。因为看果子,就可以知道树。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.
毒蛇的种类,你们既是恶人,怎能说出好话来呢。因为心里所充满的,口里就说出来。O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
