Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 12:11-24 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. He said to them, “What man among you will not grab his sheep and lift it out, if it falls into a pit on Shabbat?

12. How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is permitted to do good on Shabbat.”

13. Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out and it was restored, as healthy as the other.

14. But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

15. Knowing this, Yeshua went away from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

16. And He sternly warned them not to make Him known.

17. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

18. “Here is My servant whom I chose, the One I love, in whom My soul takes delight. I will put My Ruach upon Him, and He shall proclaim justice to the nations.

19. He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

20. A crushed reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until He brings forth justice to victory.

21. And in His name the nations shall hope.”

22. Then a demon-plagued man, who was blind and mute, was brought to Yeshua; and He healed him, so that he spoke and saw.

23. All the crowds were astounded and saying, “This can’t be Ben-David, can it?”

24. But hearing this, the Pharisees said, “This fellow drives out demons only by beelzebul, the ruler of demons.”
