¹ U to vreme iđaše Isus u subotu kroz useve: a učenici Njegovi ogladneše, i počeše trgati klasje, i jesti.

² A fariseji videvši to rekoše Mu: Gle, učenici tvoji čine šta ne valja činiti u subotu.

³ A On reče im: Niste li čitali šta učini David kad ogladne, on i koji behu s njim?

⁴ Kako uđe u kuću Božju, i hlebove postavljene pojede, kojih nije valjalo jesti njemu ni onima što su bili s njim, nego samim sveštenicima.

⁵ Ili niste čitali u zakonu kako u subotu sveštenici u crkvi subotu pogane, pa nisu krivi?

⁶ A ja vam kažem da je ovde onaj koji je veći od crkve.

⁷ Kad biste pak znali šta je to: Milosti hoću a ne priloga, nikad ne biste osuđivali prave;

⁸ Jer je Gospodar i od subote Sin čovečiji.

⁹ I otišavši odande dođe u zbornicu njihovu.

¹⁰ I gle, čovek beše tu s rukom suvom; i zapitaše Ga govoreći: Valja li u subotu lečiti? Da bi Ga okrivili.

¹¹ A On reče im: Koji je među vama čovek koji ima ovcu jednu pa ako ona u subotu upadne u jamu neće je uzeti i izvaditi?

¹² A koliko je čovek pretežniji od ovce? Dakle valja u subotu dobro činiti.

¹³ Tada reče čoveku: Pruži ruku svoju. I pruži. I postade zdrava kao i druga.

¹⁴ A fariseji izišavši načiniše veće o Njemu kako bi Ga pogubili. No Isus doznavši to ukloni se odande.

¹⁵ I za Njim idoše ljudi mnogi, i isceli ih sve.

¹⁶ I zapreti im da Ga ne razglašuju:

¹⁷ Da se zbude šta je kazao Isaija prorok govoreći:

¹⁸ Gle, sluga moj, koga sam izabrao, ljubazni moj, koji je po volji duše moje: metnuću duh svoj na Njega, i sud neznabošcima javiće.

¹⁹ Neće se svađati ni vikati, niti će čuti ko po rasputicama glas Njegov.

²⁰ Trsku stučenu neće prelomiti i sveštilo zapaljeno neće ugasiti dok pravda ne održi pobedu.

²¹ I u ime Njegovo uzdaće se narodi.

²² Tada dovedoše k Njemu besnoga koji beše nem i slep; i isceli ga da nemi i slepi stade govoriti i gledati.

²³ I divljahu se svi ljudi govoreći: Nije li ovo Hristos, sin Davidov?

²⁴ A fariseji čuvši to rekoše: Ovaj drugačije ne izgoni đavola do pomoću Veelzevula kneza đavolskog.

²⁵ A Isus znajući misli njihove reče im: Svako carstvo koje se razdeli samo po sebi, opusteće; i svaki grad ili dom koji se razdeli sam po sebi, propašće.

²⁶ I ako sotona sotonu izgoni, sam po sebi razdelio se; kako će dakle ostati carstvo njegovo?

²⁷ I ako ja pomoću Veelzevula izgonim đavole, sinovi vaši čijom pomoću izgone? Zato će vam oni biti sudije.

²⁸ A ako li ja Duhom Božijim izgonim đavole, dakle je došlo k vama carstvo nebesko.

²⁹ Ili kako može ko ući u kuću jakoga i pokućstvo njegovo oteti, ako najpre ne sveže jakoga? I onda će kuću njegovu opleniti.

³⁰ Koji nije sa mnom, protiv mene je; i koji ne sabira sa mnom, prosipa.

³¹ Zato vam kažem: svaki greh i hula oprostiće se ljudima; a na Duha Svetog hula neće se oprostiti ljudima.

³² I ako ko reče reč na Sina čovečijeg, oprostiće mu se; a koji reče reč na Duha Svetog, neće mu se oprostiti ni na ovom svetu ni na onom.

³³ Ili usadite drvo dobro, i rod njegov biće dobar; ili usadite drvo zlo, i rod njegov zao biće; jer se po rodu drvo poznaje.

³⁴ Porodi aspidini! Kako možete dobro govoriti, kad ste zli? Jer usta govore od suviška srca.

³⁵ Dobar čovek iz dobre kleti iznosi dobro; a zao čovek iz zle kleti iznosi zlo.

³⁶ A ja vam kažem da će za svaku praznu reč koju kažu ljudi dati odgovor u dan strašnog suda.

³⁷ Jer ćeš se svojim rečima opravdati, i svojim ćeš se rečima osuditi.

³⁸ Tada odgovoriše neki od književnika i fariseja govoreći: Učitelju! Mi bi radi od tebe znak videti.

³⁹ A On odgovarajući reče im: Rod zli i preljubotvorni traži znak; i neće mu se dati znak osim znaka Jone proroka.

⁴⁰ Jer kao što je Jona bio u trbuhu kitovom tri dana i tri noći: tako će biti i Sin čovečiji u srcu zemlje tri dana i tri noći.

⁴¹ Ninevljani izići će na sud s rodom ovim, i osudiće ga; jer se pokajaše Joninim poučenjem: a gle, ovde je veći od Jone.

⁴² Carica južna izići će na sud s rodom ovim, i osudiće ga; jer ona dođe s kraja zemlje da sluša premudrost Solomunovu: a gle, ovde je veći od Solomuna.

⁴³ A kad nečisti duh iziđe iz čoveka, ide kroz bezvodna mesta tražeći pokoja, i ne nađe ga.

⁴⁴ Onda reče: Da se vratim u dom svoj otkuda sam izišao; i došavši nađe prazan, pometen i ukrašen.

⁴⁵ Tada otide i uzme sedam drugih duhova gorih od sebe, i ušavši žive onde; i bude potonje gore čoveku onom od prvog. Tako će biti i ovome rodu zlome.

⁴⁶ Dok On još govoraše s ljudima, gle, mati Njegova i braća Njegova stajahu napolju i čekahu da govore s Njime.

⁴⁷ I neko Mu reče: Evo mati Tvoja i braća Tvoja stoje na polju, radi su da govore s Tobom.

⁴⁸ A On odgovori i reče onome što Mu kaza: Ko je mati moja, i ko su braća moja?

⁴⁹ I pruživši ruku svoju na učenike svoje reče: Eto mati moja i braća moja. Jer ko izvršuje volju Oca mog koji je na nebesima, onaj je brat moj i sestra i mati.

² Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells therein,

³ because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve other gods, that they didn't know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

⁴ However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don't do this abominable thing that I hate.

⁵ But they didn't listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

⁶ Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.

⁷ Therefore now thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;

⁸ in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

⁹ Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁰ They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

¹¹ Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

¹² I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

¹³ For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

¹⁴ so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.

¹⁵ Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

¹⁶ As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we will not listen to you.

¹⁷ But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

¹⁸ But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

¹⁹ When we burned incense to the queen of the sky, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?

²⁰ Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

²¹ The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn't Yahweh remember them, and didn't it come into his mind?

²² so that Yahweh could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

²³ Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.

²⁴ Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
