Matthew 12:14-24

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.
