ST. MATTHEW 12th Chapter

ST. MATTHEW 12:

Pg. 22

A man with a withered hand

9. And when he had passed on from that place he entered their synagogue. 10. And m behold, a man with a withered hand was there. And they asked him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?” that they might accuse him. 11. But he said to them, n “What man is there among you who, if he has a single sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12. How much better is a man than a sheep! Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13. Then he said to the man, “Stretch forth thy hand.” And he stretched it forth, and it was restored, as sound as the other. 14. But the Pharisees 2 out and took counsel against him, how they might do away with him.

The Mercy of Jesus

15. Then, knowing this, Jesus withdrew 3 from the place; o and many followed him and he cured them all, 16. and warned them not to make him known; 17. that what was spoken through Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, who said, 18. Behold, p my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare judgment to the Gentiles. 19. He will not wrangle, nor cry aloud, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoking wick he will not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory; 21. and in his name will the Gentiles hope.

Blasphemy of the Pharisees

22. Then there was brought to him a possessed man who was blind and dumb; q and he cured him so that he spoke and saw. 23, And all the crowds were amazed, and they said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24. But the Pharisees, r hearing this, said, 4 “This man does not cast out devils except by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.”
25. And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, s “Every kingdom divided, against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house, divided against itself will not stand. 26. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? 27. And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the has come 5 upon you. 29. Or, how can anyone enter the strong man’s house, and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.

1-Ver. 8. Jesus does not make use of His. sovereign power to abrogate the Sabbath Law, but He teaches that it should be interpreted in a reasonable way. Cf. Mark 2, 24- 26 (52) and notes.
2-Ver. 14. Cf. Mark 3, 6 (52). The Pharisees combine with the Herodians to put,’ Jesus to death.
3-Ver. 15-21. Jesus withdrew: He doubtless gave up synagogue preaching for a time. The” prohibition against making known His miracles, usually to be accoulited for by His desire to avoid the over-excitement which kept people from giving proper attention to His preaching, was probably due in this case to the wish of avoiding conflict with the Pharisees. His meekness recalls to St. Matthew the messianic prediction about the Servant of the Lord, in Isa, 42, 1-4 (857).
4-Ver. 24. The Scribes who charged that our Lord’s supernatural works were to be attributed to the devil were from Jerusalem, according to Mark 3, 22 (53).
5-Ver. 28. The has come: the victory of Jesus over the demons indicated that He was the Messias. The king was already gathering His people.

Pg. 23

30. He who is not with me is against me, t and he who does not gather with me scatters.
31. “Therefore I say to you, u that every kind of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit,1 it will not be forgiven him, either in this world or in the world to come. 33. Either make the tree good and its fruit good, v or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for by the fruit the tree is known. 34. You brood of vipers, how can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35. The good man from his good treasure brings forth good things; and the evil man from his evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36. But I tell you, that of every idle word 2 men speak, they shall give account on the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou wilt be justified, and by thy words thou wilt be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonas

38. Then certain of the Scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Master, we would see a sign from thee.” 39. But he answered and said to them, w “An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, 3 and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 40, For even as Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, 41. The men of x Nineve will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonas, and behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42. The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; Y for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43. z “But when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he roams through dry places in search of rest, and finds none. 44. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house which I left’; and when he has come to it, he finds the place unoccupied, swept and decorated. 45. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; a and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be with this evil generation also.”

Jesus and His Brethren

46, While he was still speaking b to the crowds, his mother and his brethren were standing outside, seeking to speak to him. 47. And someone said to him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing outside, seeking thee.” 48. But he answered and said to him who told him, “Who is my mother and who are my brethren?” 49. And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said, “Behold my mother and my brethren!
50. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.”

1-Ver. 32. The sin against the Holy Spirit is to ascribe to the devil the works of the Holy Spirit. One who thus attacks directly this source of all grace, rejects the source of salvation. It is morally impossible that he should ever meet the conditions for absolution.
 2-Ver. 36. An idle word is one which profits neither the speaker nor the hearer. If the word is merely useless, its utterance is not seriously wrong.
3-Var. 39. Jesus refuses a sign asked for by the incredulous, to be given under conditions fixed by themselves. He will, however, when the time has come, give them the sign of Jonas, that is, the Resurrection.

Verse 30. “He who is not with me is against me, t and he who does not gather with me scatters.” Is the complete condemnation of Modernism.
t Luke 11, 23. quotes the same.

This below is the complete condemnation of the documents and Practices of Vatican II, especially the Blaspheming of the Holy Spirit by Apostate Impostor John Paul II at Assisi where he blamed the entire VIOLATION OF THE FIRST COMMANDMENT THROUGHOUT THE ASSISI ABOMINATION IN 2002 on the Holy Spirit .

FOR THE TAPE ON ASSISI SEE: go to http://rhondasnando.blogspot.com/2013/02/assisi-abomination-of-desolation.html
then go to part 6 at http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxe9wx_vts-01-6_news at 19:18-19:54 of 28:25 of part 6 and at 2:23:00-2:23:36 of 2:31:48 of the whole tape which is where John Paul II the Apostate blasphemes the Holy Spirit. His statement transcribed is: “That is what the scripture says, the Spirit is a blowing. May the Holy Spirit today blow – speak to the hearts of all of us here present as the wind symbolizes. Lets listen all of us to the words of the Spirit.” After that go back and see the entire 2 hours and 23 minutes before he says that. If you believe that what is shown has anything to do with the Christian faith or true Catholic religion or the Holy Spirit, then you are not a Christian nor a Catholic. It is sheer Satanic Apostasy.

Immediately after this supreme act of Satanic Apostasy, John Paul the Apostate's physical condition got worse and continued to worsen until he died by the Judgment of God and went to the Judgment of the Just Judge, Jesus Christ. Any idea that the heresies of John Paul II the Apostate were only prudential and that somehow juridically he still occupied the throne of Peter was absolutely destroyed by this singular act. The Vatican – Babylon – has fallen, see Apocalypse 18. The Church always knew that one day, in some way, this must absolutely come to pass since it is prophesied by the Risen Christ.

This Bible is the late 1940's approved Catholic CCD Critical Greek comparison in the notes with the Vulgate Latin translation. Note the theological note on Ver. 32 – blaspheming the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, just as Jesus Christ said it wouldn't – the definition is given in the note (1. ) of what that is. That definition fits Impostor John Paul II's statement at Assisi blaming the Holy Spirit for their willful and knowing violation of the First Commandment. This whole Assisi Ecumenism is the foreseen on purpose method and goal of Modernism and is the spiritual (preternatural to be exact) Mark of the Beast that will never be forgiven that the Apostates at the Vatican have given themselves over to. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT UPON PAIN OF ETERNAL DAMNATION.


31. “Therefore I say to you, u that every kind of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, 1 it will not be forgiven him, either in this world or in the world to come. 33. Either make the tree good and its fruit good, v or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for by the fruit the tree is known. 34. You brood of vipers, how can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35. The good man from his good treasure brings forth good things; and the evil man from his evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36. But I tell you, that of every idle word 2 men speak, they shall give account on the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou wilt be justified, and by thy words thou wilt be condemned.”

note 1-Ver. 32. The sin against the Holy Spirit is to ascribe to the devil the works of the Holy Spirit. One who thus attacks directly this source of all grace, rejects the source of salvation. It is morally impossible that he should ever meet the conditions for absolution.

43. z “But when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he roams through dry places in search of rest, and finds none. 44. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house which I left’; and when he has come to it, he finds the place unoccupied, swept and decorated. 45. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; a and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be with this evil generation also.”

This evil generation, in the Greek generation is 'genea' and in the Latin is 'generationi.' It is not limited to one human generation. In this case it is every Jew, unrepentant of the crimes of Deicide and Perfidy until the Judgement at Christ's Second Coming and forever in eternity after that. For a Jew to repent of Judaism, which is built on Deicide and Perfidy and not at all on the Old Testament, and abjure all connection to Judaism and come to Christ and confess their guilt and be Baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and be forgiven of Deicide and Perfidy is possible and in fact we hope they do, but they are no longer Jews then at all, at that point they have become Christians only.
