Matthew 12:29 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 29 How in the world do you think it's possible in broad daylight to enter the house of an awake, able-bodied man and walk off with his possessions unless you tie him up first? Tie him up, though, and you can clean him out. | 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 rob his house. |
