12:22-37 -
Study Resources Used; PC Study Bible Deluxe V5, NIV Software & Hardback, ,Other
Resources
a) Matthew
12:22-23 - Is
This The Messiah? -
The main reason why Jesus Christ
came and cast out demons and
healed the people, wasn't
because of just his compassion
but mainly to show the people
that he is the Messiah because
the Messiah according to
prophecy Isaiah
35:5 was
to show the people of the
evidence that he is the promised
Messiah, his proof of it.
b) Matthew
12:24 - Pharisees
Tries to Discredit Jesus Christ -
Because of the Pharisees
dwindling influence on the
people, and that no
ordinary human could cast out
demons, nor heal people, the
Pharisees tried to contribute
Jesus power to the power of
satan (Beelzebub instead of
contributing Jesus power to our
Heavenly Father God.
c) Matthew
12:25-28 - Divided Kingdom
Can Not Stand -
Only God can know the heat &
thoughts of people that also
shows that Jesus
Christ is the son of God, that
is God in the flesh. So in that
Jesus has turned the tables on
the Pharisees showing them that
if Jesus cast out demons by
Beelzebub then who do their sons
cast them out? And then Jesus
points out that a kingdom that
is against it self can not
stand. That is Jesus showing the
power of God and that he is the
promised Messiah that promotes
God would be entirely against
himself if he used the power of
satan in casting out demons and
healing people, that actually
attracts people to God and not
satan.
d) Matthew
12:29 - Jesus Has Taken
Satans Property -
This is to say when Jesus
delivers people from their sins,
cast out demons or
healed the people that Jesus Christ has taken these people away
from satan, and away from their
bondages that satan himself had
them.
e) Matthew
12:30 - Gaither with
Jesus Christ -
If we do not act with Jesus, do
the great commission then we are
against Jesus Christ, and
we are not serving him, but if
we share our faith with the lost
and even work towards bringing
wayward Christians back to Jesus
Christ then we not only are
united with Jesus Christ but we
are being in service to Jesus
Christ, therefore we are for
Jesus Christ.
The Unpardonable Sin - Matthew

f) Matthew
12:31 - Jesus
Christ Warns the Pharisees of
Their Blasphemy -
Jesus Christ here warns the
Pharisees that them contributing
his divine power of casting out
demons and healings of people is Blasphemy Against
the Holy Spirit and will not be
forgiven.
g) Easton's
Bible Dictionary Definition of
Blasphemy - Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Matthew 12:31,32; Mark 3:28,29;
Luke 12:10) is
regarded by some as a continued
and obstinate rejection of the
gospel, and hence is an
unpardonable sin, simply because
as long as a sinner remains in
unbelief he voluntarily excludes
himself from pardon. Others
regard the expression as
designating the sin of
attributing to the power of
Satan those miracles which
Christ performed, or generally
those works which are the result
of the Spirit's agency.
h) Matthew
12:32 - Do Not Speak
Against the Power of The Holy
Spirit -
If anyone speaks against the
power of the Holy Spirit and his
character will never be forgiven
the person who speaks against
the Workings of Jesus Christ
through the Holy Spirit,
therefore the person that does
such a wicked thing shall never
be saved and enter into the
kingdom of heaven.

i) Matthew
12:33-35 - A Persons Words
& Works Reveals their Heart -
In this verse Jesus is referring
to a persons heart. If their
heart is
evil and corrupt so will their works be as well. But if a persons
heart is good, then there works
also will be good works. So
whatever is
in a mans heart he will speak
and do.
j) Matthew
12:36-37 - By
Our Words, Either Justified or
Condemned -
So if one speaks words with evil
intent, or unjust accusations
for
example then on judgment day
they will be held accountable
for their evil words that comes
from a evil heart. And if the

Goodness, good things of one
thing or another, then on

a) Matthew
12:38 - They
Ask for Proof -
The Pharisees & Scribes ask for
proof that God is with Jesus
Christ, even though they may
have
already seen or heard of the
Miracles that Jesus Christ has
already performed and when some
of them has seen his miracles
such as casting demons out, they
accused him of casting the
demons out by the power of satan.
The Pharisees are never
satisfied to any evidence that
God is with Jesus Christ.
b) Matthew
12:39-40 - Evil
People Seeks for a Sign -
It is the whore, that is the
Jewish people, the OT church
that has committed Idolatry
many
times over, the wicked people
who seeks a sign, and yet Jesus
Christ only one sign will they
see, that is a major miracle
more powerful than that of other
miracles that Jesus Christ has
performed, and that is like
Jonah was in the belly of a big
fish for 3 days, so only for 3
Days will Jesus Christ be in the
heart of the earth for 3 days
and 3 nights. The meaning in the
heart of the earth is not
intended to mean that Jesus
Christ went to hell and
preached, then cleared it out,
no it does mean in the grave,
asleep in the grave for 3 days
and 3 nights until he is to be
waken by the power of God to
rise from the grave.
c) Matthew
12:41-42 - People
of Nineveh & Queen Sheba Would
Condemn Them -
The people of Nineveh who
repented at the preaching
of
Jonah and Queen Sheba who sought
wisdom from King Soul would
condemn the Jewish people
because of their sinful and
wicked ways and because the
Jewish people neither seeks the
wisdom of God and yet they have
even more opportunity to repent
and seek Gods Holy Wisdom than
anyone on earth, and yet they
refuse, so they will receive a
greater condemnation than anyone
else who had less opportunity
than them.

Unclean Spirit Returns - Matthew
12:43-45 -

Jews Would not Find no Rest in
Jesus Christ -

show the Pharisees that if he
was to
show
them a sign, that sure they
might believe in him and appear
that they reform, but only for a
time, but they would not find no
rest in him because their hearts
would not be changed due because
they required physical proof of
a sign that God was with Jesus
without them having any actual
faith in Jesus Christ.
b) Matthew
12:44-45 - The
Jews Would Just get worse -
So because the Jews would not
have actual faith in Jesus
Christ, in other words,
they
didn't make Jesus their rock,
their foundation, they would
return back to how they were,
they would just be worse on
being
wicked than they were before
Jesus showed them a sign.
