| Overview - Matthew 12 | |
| 1 | Christ reproves the blindness of the Pharisees concerning the breach of the sabbath, |
| 3 | by scripture, |
| 9 | by reason, |
| 13 | and by a miracle. |
| 22 | He heals a man possessed that was blind and dumb; |
| 24 | and confuting the absurd charge of casting out devils by Beelzebub, he shows that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven. |
| 36 | Account shall be made of idle words. |
| 38 | He rebukes the unfaithful, who seek after a sign, |
| 46 | and shows who is his brother, sister, and mother. |
