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. |
