Matthew 12:19-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

19. He will not strive or wrangle or cry out loudly; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets;

20. A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings justice and a just cause to victory.

21. And in and on His name will the Gentiles (the peoples outside of Israel) set their hopes. [Isa. 42:1-4.]

22. Then a blind and dumb man under the power of a demon was brought to Jesus, and He cured him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.

23. And all the [crowds of] people were stunned with bewildered wonder and said, This cannot be the Son of David, can it?

24. But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This Man drives out demons only by and with the help of Beelzebub, the prince of demons.

25. And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to stand.
