Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 12:16-24 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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.”
